Who d'ya contact (in the UK) if you think you're being scammed? You know, like by a company that's offering you loadsa money if you just give them you're account details.
I mean is there a hot-line of some sorts? Or something along those lines, or do i just call the police, although i don't know if they really are scamming me.
All answers related to the question will be much appreciated.

First thing !! Don't ever, ever, give out ANY information on your personal finances to ANYONE. You are being scammed and once they have this information they can make your whole life HELL.
If it sounds to good to be true then its likely a lie and the only ones to get rich are the scammers.
If 29.95 can make you a millionaire in a year why is there poverty and starvation in the world and we arn't all living in mansions with slaves (oops, servants) who I guess just didn't buy in.
Believe in yourself. Become educated, and believe in your own mind, the power of thought. Everything in existance was first a thought and then an idea and then a reality.
You can join these organizations and, yes, you might be the 1 in a million that is successful and makes big bucks.
And then again you might be the one who destroys the lives of those who are destitute and are desparate and trying to survive.
Quick money and dreams of great wealth without any effort on your part are actually destructive to the spirit (YOU). It will take away from you the love, of your family and , yourself.

It certainly sounds like a scam. Your local trading standards office will help. Ring your council offices and they should put you in touch. If it's a widespread problem they would contact the authorities in Spain since fraud is illegal there too.

i am not sure in the UK... but i would say call the police fraud unit.. if you have local/community officers tell them... also if the rouse was carried out over the phone (call the phone company) through the mail (call the post office),,
this is not an isolated incident its global and growing do not become a victim (not acting on this is still being a victim) report it, report it, report it.

YES, sounds like you ARE being scammed.. UNFORTUNATELY most of the scams originate OUTSIDE from where you live so it's not going to help contacting the local police..nothing they can do..
