- Hi Linda, I have received the same letters from these three companies too. They have representatives in Glasgow but they are registered in France. Have you heard from them yet?

Oft tackles vital beauty prize draw scam
BY NICK SOMMERLAD ON FEBRUARY 7, 2008 12:49 PM IN JUNK MAIL
Not all these firms are beyond the reach of the law.
Last year the UK was flooded with hundreds of thousands of prize draw mailings from a catalogue called Vital Beauty.
The Office of Fair Trading believed the mailings misled people into thinking they'd won £14,500.
In fact, almost everyone who entered the draw "won" a small voucher to use in the catalogue.
This time the OFT stepped in and got a result. The company behind Vital Beauty is Agence de Marketing Applique, in Mouscron, Belgium, but its boss, Stephane Alech (left), lives in Cannes.
When we finally tracked him to an office complex in nearby Antibes he told us he'd reached an agreement with the OFT and promised that he was changing his mailings.
But he added:
"There are always some phrases that are written in a smaller type than others. This is a normal marketing technique - but we will respect the judgement of the OFT by making some changes.
"For example, it is now written clearly on each page that these games are free and without an obligation on the customer to buy.
"We work in several countries in Europe and the legislation is different in each country which can complicate matters in a business like ours.
"We try to adapt to the administration of each country."
In other words - he will get away with as much as he can. We're watching him. -
