Lots of scams at the moment. so be careful.

I had one by post,. where I had won a lot of money, if I sent £30 for administration fees, they would send me a cheque, so I told them to deduct the £30 from the amount and send me the balance, never heard any more.

hi dutch

You need to investigate it thoroughly before either accepting or rejecting it. A similar thing happened to me last summer. I got an e-mail saying I had won a two week holiday for four people every year for life. Naturally I suspected it was a scam. I talked it over with my husband and father and they thought so too, so I rejected it.

Unfortunately it had been very genuine. I had entered that particular competition about 18 months previous to it being drawn and had of course forgotten all about it with it being so long since I submitted the entry.

You live and learn.

Oh well, it looks like £9.50 holidays from the newspaper forever now.
