I'm lucky, you're not... apparently

Reader's Digest Email imageJust got sent this email (click picture for larger version), from Reader's Digest, saying that I am apparently a -

"WINNER SELECTION STAGE CANDIDATE TO WIN AN INSTANT £250,000 IN THE THIRD AND FINAL STAGE OF THE 101ST GRAND PRIZE DRAW."

Can't even remember being entered in the first and second stages :?

I remember these coming through the letterboxes years ago in their droves, in paper format with lots of stickers and things, but I guess even the Reader's Digest folks move with the times too.

Got me wondering though; how many of these get sent out? Am I really in such a "small percentage of households" that gets picked, or is it just upmarket SPAM?

Anyone else get one of these recently?

RD 101st prize draw

This seems to be a scam, i just received a letter today and have never contacted them in my life, my gran used to read their magazine thats the most ive heard about them! They said in my letter (post) " i am the only person in the whole of the UK who will receive the SIX numbers allocated on my forthcoming set of Finance Directors 'Cheques'" it all seems so silly.
