FreshImage scam
My son's girlfriend has just "won" a prize. It's a free makeover worth £500 at "FreshImage" studios in London. Do a WHOIS looking for www.freshimage.co.uk.
She fell for it up to the point where they asked her for her bank details over the phone for "security purposes" (or something like that).
She suspected something was wrong and I googled for the site. I came up with this thread.
Basically, you actually have won something and that's what makes it legal. You win a makeover/photoshoot or some other bollocks just to get you up there. It probably ain't worth the moolah tho'. When you get there you're sucked into the "you're sooo pretty, you could be a model" crap. "Just pay us £30 for a professional-photoshoot-makeover. "Ohh look, how lovely these pictures are, we need to send these off to a modelling agency, it'll only cost you £75 per picture"...
You get the idea.
Don't fall for it.
