Exclamation SCAM: Matters Consulting Ltd t/a Survey UK

Survey UK of Cheltenham

Today I received a 'With Compliments' slip from Survey UK via standard 2nd Class post. The envelope is addressed Mr/Mrs <-- No name is given

Details as follows:

Address on slip:
Matters Consulting Ltd t/a Survey UK
Victoria House
1 Gloucester Road
Cheltenham
Gloucestershire. GL51 8LN

Along with this slip was a smaller piece of paper saying 'Congratulations'
This number has drawn one of the gifts donated by local businesses*
Total value of gifts exceed £32,500
*Please see rules on reverse.
On the right side of this paper it has a local rate number of 01242 695001 along with the opening hours of Monday-Friday 9.30am - 6.30am.
Below this is a handwritten number for you to quote when you phone.
The reverse of this slip states the following:
You will not be asked to do any surveys.
Rules: Gifts are allocated at the time of your telephone call and cannot be exchanged. Gifts specifically suited to either men or women may be transferred. You must be over 18.

The minimum amount of local gifts available at the time is: 20 <-- this number is handwritten

On the right-hand side is an expiry date.

All the prizes or promotions of this scam are the same - they try to get you to accept a £750.00 voucher for a Gym based in Gloucester, if you refuse it they ask you to pass it on to another family member.

This company is already been reported to Trading Standards.

Beware: Yet another marketing scam!
