I won = the chance for someone to rob my bank account?

Hmmmm very confused about this one. Entered a comp to win an Audi TT (Planet 49 website) and have just had a phonecall saying that i've won a prize. This 'prize' was a chance to set up a direct debit for £9 a month to give me several hundred different chances to win the lottery and euromillions and also a free 'haggle card' (which, from what I can gather, works the same as a cashback site - you use the card and it gives you cashback on purchases).

Telephone operator then went on to ask me for my bank details -ERRRRRR I DON'T FINK SO LUV ! (as my teenage daughter would say lol)

Has anyone else had this before?

If it's the people who I entered the original competition with then that's a real naughty !!! She also said that the conversation was being recorded (not sure what relevance that has !)

If not, then why are they passing my details on anyway ! Not a happy bunny ! Luckily I only ever put my mobile number down for these things so I can choose whether to answer the phone or not !

OMG I had that, I played along with the women knowing full well she was gonna ask me for something and sure enough after about 10 mins chattin on my loud speaker in front of my family she said, oh thats good Miss Bradley, can I get your account number to set up the direct debit....I replied, I dont have a bank account im affraid and she hung up lol....we got the last laugh

Glad it's not only me mandy, did you enter the competition though?

Of course, I never gave her my details. I think I said something like "you must think i'm a right numpty to give you my bank details over the phone, especially when you've called me"! lol
