Hi Ray – not sure what you mean (or who you thought you were talking to …?)

If you didn’t manage to comment here, sorry. But since I’m just someone trying to help stop people wasting their money and there’s nothing in it for me, it’s not really a problem for me

All I can say is, hope you didn’t waste your money on The British Awards Council scam (or whichever McIntyre and Dodd Marketing ripoff brought you here).

I did write quite a long reply which you discourtously did NOT allow me to send

That now appears to be your problem

I first received a “final reminder” letter a few months ago from a company I did not recognise, and ignored it as I had not entered a competition. It said I had to take action immediately as it was about to expire. A month later another letter turned up slightly different wording, ignored and then 3rd letter arrived, at which point I put them in the recycling.
Today I received basically the same letter but this time from The British Awards Council and guess what, it is signed by Roger Davies – Awards Manager.
This is definitely a SCAM. Do NOT respond.

my saying is you get nothing free for nothing so does these people think you are going to win a price and you did not even enter a competition come on I think the police should be called in to these people and dealt with right away

So pleased I found you and haven’t fallen foul of the scam. I was sent a letter to my old address and in my ex-marital name so being a bit dubious I decided not to ring them up for a code but wrote a letter instead. After a month, I received the claim code telling me that I’d won a digital camera – this wasn’t even on the list of the “awards” up for grabs!! They then had the audacity to ask for £6.50 payment for damned insurance and postage. So again, am really glad I googled McIntyre & Dodd and read all the previous comments and didn’t become another “poor sucker”. Its immoral what these people are being allowed to get away with and heartbreaking for some people who have been seriously “duped”. Have complained to Trading Standards etc. and am in the middle of writing to McIntyre & Dodd to complain but certainly won’t be paying the postage!!

I’ve been receiving letters from these people of a while. I decided to write a letter asking for the claim code (Which the letter said you could do). Two weeks later I got another letter – I final reminder, telling me to phone, text or write to obtain my claim code. It went straight in the bin. I think I’ll be following Tina’s lead in future and post any further letters back to these idiots.

Had my final reminder today,Thought i would look it up & found this site ,very helpful,although i wouldnt have phoned or sent money ,you dont get money for nothing. What makes me so angry is my grandson has respite at a hospice they struggle each year like so many charities to raise funds to keep things going.Yet these people get rich by cheating vunerable ones out of their money.It makes me angry that they get away with it.

everyone who receives a letter from this set of con artists should post it back and they will then have the return postage to pay. lets see how they like it someone taking there money for nothing. please do not get drawn into this crap.there will be no prizes and they will be sunning themselves on the med with our hard earned money. if you have’nt entered you have’nt won. everyone likes to think they’ve got something for nothing but that does’nt happen in this life. face up its a con
