Had a recorded delivery letter saying I had won an online competetion for £3750 & to phone no (freephone no given).

Normally these go straight in the bin but the recorded delivery & freephone no threw me.

After googling it, I can announce that its a timeshare con in which you have to pay a "utility" charge of approx £250 in advance.

I must admit these people are getting better at trying to fool us.

Tallyhoh! Stopped Smoking October 2000. Saved £29382.50 so far!
