Free Iphone 11

[Paigntonian]

Paid £1 to enter a draw for a free iphone 11 on the net. Got a text saying it was on its way to me from CurrysPCworld. Anyone know if this is genuine, a con or whatever?

It's your second selection .. a Con, and don't stop in waiting for your iPhone to be delivered !
They were harvesting your identity.. depending on how you paid,, they now know your name, your phone number, your address, your sorting code and bank account No. Or hopefully you didnt pay with a credit card .. because then they know your 16 digit card number and your security code.
Contact your bank or card supplier .. NOW ..and get them to handle it.
If it looks to good to be true .. it usually is !

Thanks guys. No money has been taken from the one of my two current accounts that I used for the £1. Moved (modest!) balance to the other account. Sweating there. Been a chump. Have told internet banking. Thanks again.

These are the occasions that make ABers very welcome help. Was almost shaking for a minute.
