10 yearsThe bloke on the phone just wouldn’t stop chatting, made it really tough to say no. After finally giving in, i now have to send an email to cancel the whole thing. I rang the number myself but felt like i’d be stuck on that call forever if i didn’t agree. Honestly, i feel proper silly about the whole thing now.11 yearsI recently came over to the UK to visit my 89-year-old mum and have only been here a few days. It’s come to light that she’s been tricked into paying £20 every month for two years to some “SAVE&WIN” scheme. She tried to stop the payments but was told she’d signed a contract that can’t be cancelled. Mum got a letter warning her that if she didn’t catch up on two missed payments and keep paying, they'd send it to debt collectors. Since then, she’s paid up the missed months and restarted the £20 direct debit, which really strains her finances. She lives alone and is getting to the stage where she needs help around the house, but this scam money is eating into what could be spent on care services. I’ve come from Australia hoping to find out if there’s any help or advice for her situation - there surely must be something that can be done! It’s disgusting that these lowlifes are legally allowed to take advantage of elderly people like this. Absolutely shameful.UKSAVE & WINAustralia11 yearsGot a letter dated 25/07/15 with a catalogue from Eckman Company, saying "Open now" and telling me I’d won something! It asked me to call 08003777567 free of charge to sort things out, signed by Chris Williams. After seeing what others have said here, I’ve chosen to chuck it straight in the bin.Eckman CompanyChris Williams11 yearsI called the 08003777919 number using my landline to avoid charges, and after waiting around five minutes, I finally got through to someone. They asked for my info and the code from a letter I received on Eckman headed paper. While checking my prize, the operator mentioned Save & Win, or Win24, which for a monthly fee would submit me to loads of competitions annually. I said no thanks quite politely, and there was no pressure to sign up. They then told me I’d won 33 free entries into a lucky number draw, so I guess they’ll probably contact me if I’m lucky.EckmanWin2411 yearsMy elderly mum got a letter with Eckman’s logo after buying something from them and she didn’t trust it one bit. I tried calling 0800 377 79 19 for her - after a recorded message promising to put me on hold, no one picked up so I hung up pretty quickly. Then I rang Eckman’s Customer Service and they actually told me I needed to ring that same number if I wanted to claim a prize. When I said it sounded like a scam, they just said they were instructed to tell people to call the number on the letter. I asked if they could tell me what this prize even was, but they again just told me to call the number listed. Feels really sketchy all round.EckmanCustomer Services11 yearsI got a letter claiming to be from Eckman, the garden and DIY tool sellers we bought from before. It said I'd won a prize and told me to call the Freephone on 0800 377 79 19. So, I called and got a recorded voice saying something about ‘Save & Win’ and asked me to wait. After holding for a bit, I gave up and checked this site out. Seems like a total scam to me. But I'm confused - if it’s a Freephone number, what exactly do they get out of it? Maybe some folks hang on long enough to talk to someone and end up giving their bank details?Eckman11 yearsToday, 16th June 2015, I got a letter from someone called Chris Williams, the Customer Service Manager at Save £ Win. The letter said I won a prize and that they tried calling me before. They want me to ring them back on a toll-free number, 08003777918, to talk more about it. I’ve never entered any such competition as far as I know. It’s awful that these kinds of folks keep bothering elderly and vulnerable people like this. Proper disgrace.Chris Williams11 yearsMy elderly mum received a parcel containing a letter, but noone got in touch first and I'm quite suspicious of letters like that. Then, the very next day, she got another parcel with the identical letter and code number. Surely something's not right here.12 yearsA while back I got a letter with a parcel from a firm I’ve dealt with a few times. It mentioned calling Chris Williams or whoever. I rang twice, waiting on hold for like 15 then 20 minutes each time but never got through to anyone. What’s the point? I never actually spoke to a real person. Seems like a total scam to me, but I don’t get what they hope to achieve. Just ended up wasting my time. - E.R.Chris WilliamsER12 yearsSpent 45 mins on the phone stuck waiting for someone to help me, what a total scam. Honestly, I’d say don’t waste your time or tear up any paperwork they send you. Absolutely no point.12 yearsThis morning, I got a letter saying I've won some kind of prize. It includes a phone number to call: 08008402977. The letter was from a Chris Williams, and it asks me to ring him on a slightly different number, 08008402976. Can anyone help me figure out if this is legit?Chris Williams12 yearsSave & Win are total scammers, just after your bank info. They send out letters claiming you've for sure won something and ask you to call a number. When you ring, they act like they’re checking what prize you’ve got but it’s really just a trick to get you to join some bogus lottery. If you refuse to hand over your bank details, they just cut the call straight away!12 yearsCan someone tell me who this is and what prize I'm supposed to have won?12 yearsI just got a call from someone saying I’d won a prize. The person said their name was Chris Williams and they worked as a Customer Service Manager for a company called save£win. They gave an email too - [email protected]. I’ve never heard of them before and I’m a bit suspicious about ringing their Freephone number. Anyone got any advice on whether it’s legit or a scam? Cheers.
