Just received a letter through the post asking for proof of ID...in order to process a potential claim of funds they have asked for proof of ID ( albeit photocopies).
Is this a scam....has anyone else received similar?
I received some cash back from this scheme automatically, without ever having made any kind of contact, or sending any information. Got a letter through telling me I'd been awarded compensation, then a week or so later a cheque dropped through the door.
Your current experience certainly has the ring of scam to it - if I can find the bumph I got through about it, I'll see if I can find a contact number for you that you might be able to check with.

The above link explains your query.
Yeah that number would be handy.
Some unexpected cash would be nice ...
