Had the letters as described. I ignored them as wouldn’t pay for an 09 call. Now had letter asking for cheque for £14.95 to despatch my marvellous prize. Why that amount to send a cheque for £25.000. Postage and envelope wouldn’t cost that much. I do hope people won’t line these peoples pockets. Is it time the law was involved

I had one of these awfull letters today. I was ‘caught out’ once before but never again. This is the first time I’ve looked them up on the internet. Even another site imediately gave it a bad name. I read throught quite a few of the above letters and totally agree with them. It costs about £9 or £10 to phone the 09061 number and all you get is worthless so called diamond pendant and or aworthless Luxury villa holiday. Don’t forget you have to pay for you own flights etc. just to also mention they cant even spell my name right they haave me as Mr Brombery. so as (HE) doesn’t excist. it doesn’t get a reply.

Well done to everyone who had the sense to check this out before being taken in by the scam. Please tell all your family and friends about this so that they know what to do if they receive a letter.

The postcode they use is linked to the PO Box that they rent – so the company may not even be located in Ross on Wye! It is possible to rent a PO box for any town and to have the mail delivered direct to you at your true location

I copied this text from the offending web site

Maybe if we inundated them with phone calls it might help?

Q. I don’t wish to receive any further mailings from you. How can I have my address details removed?

A. Either write to us at Dept. MPS, Green Heys, Walford Road, Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, HR9 5PQ or telephone our Customer Services helpline on 01989 769797. We will remove your name on the same day we receive the request. Please note because of processing time you may receive one further mailing from us after your request.

Received one today from ‘UK Allocations Office’. PO Box 29, Ross-on-Wye. I refuse to ring 090 numbers, but decided it was worth the cost of a couple of stamps to see if I had won. I’m so glad I decided to do a quick search online before I sent the letter.

I have been receiving letter from the U.K. Allocations Office regularly for a few months. I always work on the fact that you don’t get something for nothing and I had not entered into any competition. I was not even tempted but it is annoying that these people can get away with it. Thanks
for the web site.

I am like so many others I am sick of getting these letters, and the one I got today are asking for £14.95 so I can clame my Prize and if I had not seen all the answers you got about them I would have sent off the money. Thanks for the warning, you saved me some money.
