10 yearsCould this have been a prank? We received a call this evening that raised some eyebrows.10 yearsOn Monday, the 7th of July, 2008, around 11 in the morning, she rang us up. She mentioned that we had won some money and that she had taken down our bank account details. Quite concerning, really!10 yearsHad a caller from DTD claiming to be linked to some lottery scheme.DTD10 yearsReceived a call on the 21st of November, stating that we’re in the top five finalists for an Audi A3. To top it off, he claimed we’d won 208 complimentary tickets for this week’s Euro lottery. However, he kept pressing for our bank details. We asked him to send an email detailing everything, but I’m still waiting for that to arrive. Quite curious, to say the least!11 yearsWe received a call from someone claiming they would send us 300 tickets via email, and that we’d also receive a large pack in the post. After that, we could choose to purchase the full 300 or just a handful for only £11. It all sounded rather tempting at first, until she asked for our bank information. She assured us that it was simply the details visible on a cheque, which is technically correct. However, it's important to remember that there are individuals out there who might exploit such information to withdraw funds from your account. Always be cautious and never share your banking details!11 yearsI recently received a phone call claiming that we were in the final draw for an Audi A3. The caller went on about how "legitimate" the competition was and even mentioned something about us being entered into the EuroMillions. It was rather strange as she appeared to have all our personal details, like our date of birth and address, which is quite concerning. I have no idea how they obtained that information! When she requested our bank details, we promptly declared that we weren't interested in proceeding any further.11 yearsReceived a call from this number, supposedly linked to Euro100 and some lottery tickets. The woman on the line was quite insistent about obtaining our banking details, but we made it clear that we wouldn't share any information until we did our homework on the company. Has anyone actually walked away with a prize from them?11 yearsHello there, about a year ago I received a call from someone claiming I could join a lottery with a £100 prize pool, to be shared among 100 entrants. They asked me to make 3 monthly payments of £44, and while I was hesitant, I inadvertently provided some of my banking information. Unfortunately, they proceeded to withdraw that £44 every month without my consent for the entire year, and I was clueless about how to get in touch to halt the payments. I only had an email address-one they completely ignored. Thankfully, my bank managed to intervene and stop the payments. All in all, I've ended up losing over £500 to this scam, and while I have no illusions about seeing that money again-I fully acknowledge my own naivety-I would love to assist in any way to prevent them from scamming others. If there's a way I can help, I’m more than willing to lend a hand.11 yearsI received a call from a chap with a French accent who somehow obtained our date of birth, name, and address. Foolishly, we ended up sharing our bank details after he claimed we’d won something. Strangely, he didn’t mention at all that we’d supposedly joined a syndicate until we got a letter about it a month later. I’ve had to shut down our bank account to prevent them from accessing our funds.11 yearsBlimey! I've had a right nuisance of a time with these blokes. They've been calling me non-stop from a few numbers, including 0844 880 2598, all linked to Brighton, and another one, 08009886006, which seems to be from some call centre. There’s even an international line reaching all the way to Africa and a callback number, 0800 98861. It’s all a bit dodgy, really - they’re always grilling you about your identity and some bank scam nonsense. The moment you mention wanting your number taken off their list, they hang up quicker than you can blink! I've had nine calls from them over the past six weeks, and they just won’t let up. Quite the ordeal, I must say!BrightonAfrica11 yearsWe've had a call from these folks too. We shared our banking details, including our sort code and account number, but thankfully, we held back on giving out the complete card number. I reached out to our bank to find out if it's possible for anyone to access funds from our account without that long card number, and they assured me that it's not feasible. Still, I can’t shake off the worry regarding our finances. If anyone has experienced unauthorized transactions with these individuals, please drop a comment here to alert us. Much appreciated!11 yearsI've received calls from someone claiming that I've been selected as a finalist for an Audi A3 in a competition hosted by Planet49. It's absolutely absurd! Shortly after, they tried to rope me into some kind of syndicate, which I found rather dubious. Surely, they can't be phoning everyone about winning the same prize? It's all rather fishy if you ask me! I'm quite cautious, especially when they start asking for my banking details, which completely puts me off. Since then, they’ve kept ringing, but I’ve chosen to completely ignore them. How on earth do these folks manage to gather so much personal information on individuals?Planet4912 yearsWe recently received a call from someone named Robin at DTD, claiming we had won €300 worth of draw tickets. A couple of weeks back, we entered several online competitions, so it’s quite possible our information was accessed from there. Although we endured all the chatter she had to say, we were careful not to disclose any of our banking details. Shortly after, we got a message from our brother mentioning he received the very same call. Quite the coincidence, isn't it?RobinDTD12 yearsWe received a call from this number, and the person on the other end claimed to be from the BBC. Honestly, she had such a remarkable presence, it was almost like chatting with Nelson Mandela!BBCNelson Mandela12 yearsHi there! I've just received the exact same phone call regarding 280 free lines in the Euro Lotto. They were asking for all of our banking information, but I didn’t share anything with them. I told them to ring back in an hour. Honestly, I won’t even entertain the thought of answering their call. It’s clearly a scam trying to rope you into some syndicate. The person on the line identified herself as Elliot and mentioned they had my details from a competition I entered for an Audi. I’ll definitely be more vigilant moving forward!ElliotAudi12 yearsKindly refrain from sharing any specifics, especially regarding bank information. Just state that you’re no longer interested in pursuing this.12 yearsReceived a call on the 17th of November at approximately 1:30 PM. The conversation was remarkably similar, as they mentioned that we’re one of the lucky five contenders for an Audi A3. It kicked off with a barrage of enticing offers, but then she suddenly asked for my bank details. We decided to hold off and requested that they send a proper letter outlining everything. Once we’ve had the chance to check it through, we’ll be in touch.14 yearsAvoid these scammers, best not to pick up at all...Submit Your Own Report (0844 880 2598)
