Title: Emails telling you that you have won £1,000 voucher etc.,
Post by: Jacqui Harvey on April 25, 2017, 10:13:20 AM

I have received a number of emails lately which are suppose to come from M.&.S. Tesco's Waitrose They tell me I have won £1.000 in vouchers.  Even some saying I have won a huge 2 kilos bag of M.&.M's .
I know they are spam and have reported them

I wondered how these spammers catch you out and went online and saw this mail. The person clicked into the email link to go and get there £1.000 voucher and this is what happened.

It asks you a question online and then asks to validate entry by putting your mobile number in and then sending you a text with a validation code. It then sends you 3 questions to answer. From this moment on you are signed up to £4.50/week to enter weekly competitions!!! This is in the small print that I spotted before answering the questions but I suspect that the mistake is still going to cost me £4.50!!

So, just a heads up.

As always:

1. Nothing in life is free.

2. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
