The dead giveaway is twhen you are asked to phone a premium telephone line to get your claims number. You pay 10 quid for the call and never hear anything again. Whilst 25k would be nice, it isn't worth a light if you are never going to see it. My advice to anyone receiving these letters through the post is to ignore them, shred them and get on with your life. There is no such thing as a free lunch.
