Sent a greetings card and told I Won a laptop for £1. In my 70s I believed it from such a long standing and well used company. So I completed info and bank details only to offer all sorts from winmyprize247.com ? is this a valid company? I then returned to delete all my information pages, will this work and am I off the system? Also it stated to unregister for free in 3 days -How?
I am usually very cautious about scams but at the moment feel innudated by mail and telephone calls. At this moment I don’t need this What can I do?

Probably sensible to give your bank a call to let them know. They and you should keep an eye out for any unusual activity on your account. Do you use online banking? If so, check your account daily for a while.1

If it's £1 then you haven't won it. The £1 is because they want your bank details...
I would inform your bank IMMEDIATELY about what you have done and keep a very close eye on your account.Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -
Unfortunately, this sounds like it may be a scam.
The best thing would be to call your bank's fraud team, just in case.
It is a good idea to register for online banking and check your account regularly, so that you see anything untowards quickly.0 -
At the bottom of the winmyprize247 wesite it says the following
"This special £1 offer provides customers access to a 5-day trial of a skill games portal to compete to win prizes like the one shown. This is an affiliated subscription service, after which the subscription fee (£49.95) will be automatically deducted from your card. If, for any reason, you are not satisfied with the service, you may cancel your account within 5 days. The service will be renewed every 30 days until cancelled."
I think that's your answer.0
