Free money? Who needs it!

   



How many times are day are you offered free money? Well if you do not have a spam filter on your email, probably several.

Between October 1 and October 12th users of the phone directory service 118 118 were automatically entered into a draw to win £118. When 118 118 contacted the 288 randomly selected winners 89 people refused to take the money on fear that it was a scam. Now 118 118 is posting all the names of the winner’s on its website in an effort to prove to people that the offer is genuine.

Hopefully when 118 118 runs the competition again next month, but this time with a prize of £1,180,000, the British people will be a bit more trustworthy.

Who would of thought that giving away free money would be so hard?
