I have won a prize by gala bingo and they asked to contact natonwide bank plc . is it true?

Hi there, I work for Gala Bingo and can assure you we would never ask a customer to contact a bank to claim a prize. Please make contact with our Customer Services on 0800 294 7 294 and we can discuss any queries you have further. I hope that's useful! With best wishes, Lesley Hall

Are you registered on galabingo.co.uk and did you win when playing online? If you are not a registered user who won while playing live online, you cannot be a winner. If you win they don't ask you to contact a bank. First of all, there is no such company as Nationwide Bank. There is a Nationwide Building Society. Second, they deposit your winnings into your Galabingo account - http://www.galabingo.co.uk/bingogames.go - click on Help then scroll down to winnings: "All winnings are credited to your Galabingo.co.uk account immediately after each valid claim." So anyone asking you to contact a bank that doesn't even exist is definitley scamming you. Forward the email you received to: [email protected] who will confirm if this is legitimate or not

Can you expand on this - were you in the bingo hall or was it online? You can always call Gala bingo to check 0800 294 7 294. I suppose they want to deposit your prize rather than send you a cheque?
