Please be nice to all MoneySavers. That’s the forum motto. Remember, the prime aim is to help provide info and resources. If you don’t like someone, their situation, their question or feel they’re intruding on ‘your board’ then please bite the bullet and think of the bigger issue. A Guardian article once "doffed its cap" to this forum as being the one place where consumers can collect together and fight back. Our job is to help keep it that way.

How would you know they got flagged as fake though? It is reliant on the recipient paying the £5 fine to receive the postcard and then contacting you the sender - which for a competition entry isn't going to happen.0
