Magazine and petrol voucher scam

Re: Magazine and petrol voucher scam

Hi,
I know this is an old thread, but I have nearly been caught out by the same thing right now. a lady phones and asks if you would answer a few questions regarding your lifestyle and if you would give to certain charities, in exchange for £20 of fuel. I was then asked my favourite colour and someone would phone me he next day to arrange sending the vouchers. Then Kieron phoned the next day with a lot of small talk, saying they were a charity and i would need to pay £1 postage for the vouchers and a magazine with lots of other saving in it. He asked for my card details, I old him I was reluctant to do this due to all the scams about at the moment. This sounds very much like the same scam as above, so is sill circulating, if I am wrong, I apologise to the company for my lack of faith in humanity now, but I doubt it. I think I have had a narrow escape!

Deffo a scam - If they can afford to give you £20 fuel voucher and have the magazines printed, then am sure they can afford free postage as part of the promotion too!!
