All I have to do is fill in a form. Is there / what is the catch?

I get them all the time. PUT IT IN THE BIN!! They just want you to have their catalogue and get yourself into debt buying stuff from it. sorry but ur better off playing the lottery!!

I've had the same letter twice now. Don't do it and read everything carefully.
They want you to open a 'Credit Account', then when you buy your first purchase the money is added to this account and your free gift is sent (Probably something like a 128MB Memory stick or something). It's like a glorified credit card, only the account only works with Littlewoods and the interest is high.
You never get anything for free!

Do you have to send any money? Divulge your banking details? Become an agent and sell things on their behalf? I think it is the mail order company and not the football pools firm. They will send you a copy of their arm-breaking catalogue and enter your name in a draw in which you could win a Prize after you have placed your first order with them. Its up to you but don't expect a get rich quick scenario.

Yes, I had one too. I replied, and am eagerly waiting to see what I've won. I fully expect it to be a £15 voucher to be spent in their catalogue. That's probably the catch. Remember, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

usualy with these it means you fill out the form and then they will enter you into a prize draw (or not as is often the case with these dodgy deals. Read the small print carefully. And remember my age old rule of life "if it sounds to good to be true then it probably is"

Like many information gathering scams...they rely on dimwits to fill out the forms so they can increase their database. You'll never see the £1,000.00. You'll only be offered a discount off your first order.

GET RID OF IT, its a scam, I had a littlewoods account and I don't anymore. You end up paying well more back than you spent, don't do it.

please bin it the form asks for bank details its a outsourcing company working with littlewoods that send the info out and what they do is sell your details on to other companies, if you reply to it you will get lots more of the same thing from other companies

Yeah, everbody gets them all the time. Find the nearest bin and throw it in with a laugh. If only they where true we would all be laughing all the way to the bank.
