Heads up, compers! In order to investigate a technical issue, we've had to move some of the older threads from Game Over into a new category called 'Game Over Archives'. It'll be comps from before 2017, so shouldn't have too much impact on your day-to-day Forum experience. Thanks for your patience!

I received an email to say I am one of the 50 winners of this competition, https://www.mirror.co.uk/play/competitions/win-200-towards-your-household-26814858. As per the terms and conditions they want my bank details, name, account number and sort code. I really done want to be scammed and cant see why there would be a problem emailing these details. Please can you confirm this is correct. Thank you in advance Judith

They have told me previously that there is no harm in giving banking details like these.

Just be wary if they ask you to click on a link in an email. There is one going round at the moment that says "click here for new music by Ed Sheeran" and if you click on it you will suffer, as you will be directed to new music by Ed Sheeran.
