You are in : TOO GOOD..?

SCAM ALERT!

Make sure you’re not a prize sucker!! On Your Behalf hears from a man who’s spent thousands of pounds on Too Good to be True offers. The Office of Fair Trading says - Think twice before responding to any message – by phone, letter or e mail, out of the blue - saying you’ve won a competition!

The OFTsays

“UK consumers are losing around a billion pounds a year to a variety of scams which exploit low-cost, mass-marketing techniques to target recipients. Many of these scams originate from overseas, making detection and prosecution more difficult.
