I’m still recovering from the palpitations caused by a phone call from a very pleasant sounding chap, who asked for me by name, asked if I remembered entering a draw to win a house . . . .then said “Don’t get too excited, the draw isn’t till March”. Proceeded to invite me to visit his website where I could take advantage of an investment opportunity for only £100. There has been language in our house! :eek::mad::mad::mad::eek:

The same similar thing happened with ITV, turned out to be an invite to take part in some kind of survey a few months back. I also got hit with a strange call a couple of years back from the company that processes the mail for the ITV/Channel 5 comps. Never got to the bottom of that one!Thanks to all the competition posters.0

It all looks very anonymous to me.
Can anyone see who actually runs 'Ultimate Homes' ?0 -
