Hi I have received an email saying that I’ve won a best crossword competition. It says they have a new system for issuing payments: Prizes are claimable through our new Beneficiary Self-Management system with HSBC. Do you think this is genuine?
The email asks for me send my mobile number so they can do a two step authentication. What do you think? Anyone experienced this?

Yes definitely genuine I got one last month from a win in a mag from 2021 just a bit late but very welcome.I do it just for fun and whatever I win is a bonus0

Thank you for that, I had an email today too to say I was a winner and was going to ask if it was genuine. I bet a lot of people will be wary about it.0

I have just applied for my £50 win, and I must say, what an absolute pain in the neck. Sorry but if this is progress, take me back to the days of paying in cheques any time.0

Thanks everyone - I've had an email to say I've won £100 in a Best magazine crossword comp.
I was a bit suspicious as the email says they don't have my mobile number in their records, but mobile number is a mandatory field on the entry form from what I remember...
But if it's worked for you all, I'll go ahead and claim my £100
Best win ever: Trip to the Galapagos Islands in 20101 -
Yes, thank you everyone for the advice and comments - I've also had a Hearst mags WEM in the last couple of days asking for a phone number for the HSBC payment process, if it hadn't been for this thread I would have been worried and might well have not responded!0
