I received a letter in the post today saying that I had won 5000 pounds and would get a cheque if I pay 20 pounds in 10 days. I don't ever remember liaisng with this company from Canada or ever entering a competition. Does anyone know anything about this. I'm not going to reply - they even mispelled my surname so that should be a sign to not reply to them.

Cons work on the principle of greed.
You want £5000 - so does everybody.
A tiny few will send the £20
The large majority will not.
1000 people send £20 = £20,000
Not bad for sending out some crappy letters.
Fools can be fooled some of the time.
You don't get nowt for nowt in this world.

Ummm. . . junk mail. Its a con.
Don't send them anything.
The best way to deal with junk mail like this is stuff everything the send you into the prepaid envelope provided and send it back to them. They'll have to pay the postage on it!

specific my housemate have been given scammed via them - they enable you be responsive to which you have have been given 'gained' and then ask you to deliver a cheque to them. in case you have gained something you need to by no ability ought to deliver a cheque to obtain the prize. Very dodgy. because of fact that she sent off the cheque she has won load extra direct mail too. i think of they have positioned her on a itemizing of 'suckers'.
