Ok, firstly, I accept all the comments of 'what did you expect' coming my way
I have 3 days training in Cardiff next month, so went on to the Travelodge website to book some cheap accomodation.
Went onto their site, and an invite to complete a Travelodge feedback questionaire popped up, with the offer of £40.00 accom vouchers as a reward.
I filled it all in - genuinely, this was a carbon copy of the TL website, logos, photos, spelling etc. Took a few minutes.
For my vouchers to be posted they wanted name and address, plus a credit card number for them to verify that I was genuine (oh, the irony!), which I put in........
Submitted the form, whereupon I get an acknowledgement from an online dating company that I had paid £1 by credit card for 2 weeks free membership, plus £35 a month for the rest of my life etc.
Whilst feeling deservedly stupid, it was good - I actually thought I was going to get £40 worth of accom vouchers....
Phoned card company this morning, reported the fraud, but I might even close the account down as I dont use it, just to be on the safe side.
It is such a minefield !
On the other hand, some of those single Russian girls look pretty hot, and are apparently looking for a man just like me - what, gullible?
