Win from Homes by Carlton but is it a scam

RuthMarianna

I got a comment on a comp I entered on fb tgat I saw posted on here saying I have won a Fortnum and Mason hamper which would be lovely but it says to register within 24 hours and provided a link but when I went to the link it required credit card details to, it said, pay £1 to sign up for something. I am very reluctant to do that and did put a comment on the post that I did not feel able to trust it. What does anyone else think.

Definitely dodgy! No legitimate competition would ask for money or 'registration' to claim a  prize. It's a well known scam connected to Facebook competitions unfortunately.

Thanks thanks It does seem that this FB page is the legitimate one for the company concerned as they have a link to it on their website so maybe it has been high jacked?

If this is the competition you entered https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6401109/e-04-12-win-a-fortnum-mason-christmas-hamper-worth-300-fb-ig leading to the Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/HomesByCarlton/posts/pfbid0g7tJa5A6Cj5fSUxkgw32zAReB4XuGNudnQ6b55BnznHixiKo9HTq9jfRwgQ7F6yWl then you are definitely being scammed.
