Has anyone else won with AXA?

Had a phonecall today informing me that I had won AXA insurance in the event that I was involved in a car accident?!!!

The caller told me it would be benificial to upgrade the policy and I told the caller that I was a seasoned comper and that I was not interested in anything that cost me money or required bank details. He then asked if it was OK to share my details with others "not in the EU", to which I said NO.
He then told me my policy would be posted today :confused: .
I'm sure it's a load of old 4441_cowboy_rancher_scooping_cattle_dung_with_a_shovel.jpgbut we'll see what happens!

    I had that a few months ago, offering me physiotherapy cover - I explained that I was already having physio on the NHS and I also had private cover through work, but they still seemed to think I needed it.

    I didn't :)

    I had that call some months ago, I told the bloke that I wasn't interested if he was selling. He said that he'd send my FREE policy out to me within a couple of days - I'm still waiting for it :rolleyes:

    I've had a call today from Axa too, they said I entered a competition for a free year cover, which I can't remember of...I refused, despite of them saying it would not cost me anything, he said I will just have to cancel the policy after a year, I refused again and hanged up politely. I'm sure it smells spam...
