Bogus Prize Draws (EDM2497)

Bogus Prize Draws

EDM number 2497 in 2005-06, proposed by John Leech on 04/07/2006.

That this House notes with concern the prevalence of unsolicited mailings purporting to inform the recipients that they have won a prize, but which result in the recipient paying a fee in order to claim prizes which do not exist or are of a lower value than the fee itself; further notes that many of these mailings originate from abroad or contain inadequate contact details for the companies sending them; condemns the practice of sending these mailings to recipients who are elderly or vulnerable people; and calls on the Government to take steps to prevent the mass mailing of fraudulent prize draw notifications to UK citizens.

This motion has been signed by a total of 55 MPs.
