I think i've won?

Options
Hi everyone! I think I've had my first win in a long time... it is £200 e-voucher for tkmaxx from the Magic Radio Competition.  The email from the lady is asking for copy of my driving license and proof of address before she can process it- is this normal practice from the Bauer Group? I've never had to before, was just dubious lol Any help would be great! Thank you :)

    Sounds legit to me! I made a very similar post a few days ago when I won a Samsung A51 from Absolute Radio (run by Bauer, like your comp).

    Here's a screenshot of my email so you can compare it to yours if you want. Idk if yours will look similar though, as yours is by Magic Radio. (I've removed all personally identifying info of the person though).

    This is normal practice I believe, to prove that you haven't won any Bauer prizes worth more than £500 in the last 6 months.

    I actually messaged Bauer through their support line, and they responded within a few hours to confirm my win was legit.
    I believe their support email for comps is: competitions@absoluteradio.co.uk if you want to check :)

    When I sent my info off, I only sent my name and address, which I think they were fine with (they didn't complain).

    Congrats :)

    Amazing! Thank you :) Email exactly the same apart from the bank account details bit.  From Grace West as well. Googled her and she seems legit.  Enjoy your win :)
