Tommo2448 said:Here's a puzzle for the experienced Premium Bonders on this thread...
I have a tiny holding of £31, almost all dating back to Xmas/birthday presents from relatives in the 1960s/1970s. I have never won anything (surprise !).
However, this evening I received an email from NS&I to say, "We just wanted to let you know that we've received a bank transfer into your NS&I Premium Bonds. We'll get in touch again soon to let you know your Bond numbers" - which was a surprise as I have not made a bank transfer into my Bonds !
The format of the email is 100% correct, from outgoing@nsani.com, everything else the same as what I have got when I have made my own bank transfers into my other accounts. It is not spam. No-one else has the details to make a bank transfer.
I am wondering, therefore, if I have actually had a win (no doubt small), and they have reinvested it ? However, there is nothing in "prize history", and I have checked with my holder's number on the "prize checker", but nothing showing.
I notice that the account prize options are currently set as payment by warrant and sent by post, rather than reinvested or paid to a nominated account. That was set up years ago and to be fair I haven't changed any of it (I probably should, once I work out what has happened).
Does this make sense ? I guess when they give me the Bond numbers, as they promise the will, all will become clear.
Thanks in advanceoutgoing@nsani.com Did you copy and paste that email address from them? There's a d missing from nasandi
