Is It A Scam

[lullabell]

Unclaimed Prizes Bureau, Ross-on-Wye......is this a SCAM......?

You ring a premium rate number for several minutes to find out you've won a very cheap item (in this case a camera) that is wotrth a lot less than you've just spent on the phone call. It's dubious at best I wouldn't bother.

there is a message in my local paper saying that there i a scam/scams around lately.
also 1 saying that they have "WON IN A SPAINISH LOTTERY" and to phone them and they ask you for your bank details to put the cash into your account.
be careful out there

My wife had a letter from the 'Spanish lottery' a few months back.

We found it very funny. The scam is the usual, phone premium phone number and pay 100 euro release fee.

These things are very similar to the false bank error and buy a genuine degree emails.

Just follow this simple guide,

1. You don't get anything for nothing!!!
2. If you didn't enter it, then how could you have won?
3. �Legal� scams in the UK i.e. scratch cards in the newspaper will have small print on them telling you how much the phone call will cost. Scam as pug100 suggests.
4. If it sounds too good to be true, then it normally is.
