£Million Pound Lucky Bag Scam

[Elspeth]

This scam has surfaced again after a couple of years. I found a 'lucky bag' in my Daily Express this morning and investigation showed that it is being run by a firm called Purely Creative Ltd who have a reputation for this and other scams. It is a match the symbol game; if you have two or three matching symbols you have won a prize. If you match 3 symbols you COULD win a million. You have to ring a premium number to get a claim form to find out what you have won. The call costs £1.50 a minute and lasts for 6 minutes (£9.50 per call). If you are brave enough to follow this up, it would be interesting to find out the result. Personally I wouldn't touch it. Has anybody tried it?

Anyone who called would probably find they'd won worthless vouchers.
It's a shame that newspapers carry such advertising.

No, but a small part of me admires the creativity of some of these businesses. but Ii can see that vulnerable people such as children could get sucked in
