How dodgy does this sound
« on: 09 May 2017, 16:30:41 »

Swmbo has just said some bloke is coming around later to see her 🙄
Apparently it is to do with a prepaid card (seasons Visa card ) she has said you need to give them some details i.e. Driving licence or passport number and also show them a household bill with your name and address on , you don't have to do anything but they send you £50 for signing the card
Now am I just being overly suspicious of does this sound very dodgy apparently she knows a few people that are doing it I have alarm bells ring

Is this a card or something that she has actually asked or applied for ? If not then it will be a scam of some kind.

It could also be that they are just trying to get her to sign up for something. I wouldn't touch it

Always remember " if something looks to good to be true, then it isn't"

Nobody just gives away £50, except me on a Friday night when I once tried to pay for a round of drinks with £120, but that's another story. So I too would be suspicious.

Sadly in this day and age it just sounds way too dodgy , might be worth ringing the police ?

Get his name and ask for Id
Take his picture.
Write down his reg number.

Then watch how fast he removes himself from your home. ::)

Exactly what I said  , apparently it is
Evolution sports trading
It has something to do with bookies !!
She has a prepaid card Seasons visa in her name he is bringing it here for her to sign then she will get £50 a month a total of £200
She has already had £50 from them and this was bought to the house her brother has done it too and a couple of friends have also done it and had the money

I found the same card  although the picture she showed me was green ,the thing is she does not keep the card it is in her name and needs to be signed by her

Right so the guy turned up and explained what was going on , it is all to do with online betting basically  you sign up ( on Facebook )  no bank details are given and it does not cost any money to join !
They load the pre paid card with some money use this to bet with his example was to load the card with £20 of his money  they place the bet  and we get back £15 and he keeps £5 not sure how this works to be honest .
But swmbo got another £50 cash in her hand , if she refers anyone else she gets £40 , so maybe it is not as dodgy as it seems and it really is money for nothing ?

Absolutely. Wouldn't touch it with STEMOS dick

Walk away NOW, unless it's too late. At best it's some kind of Ponzi scheme, at worse well it's even worse

No bank details given, apparently.
