I received, what I thought, was an email from Boots via my Advantage card telling me they were giving me 500 advantage points because I had been in recently. Gullible me! However, it was from a marketing company with absolutely nothing to do with Boots. I took part in their 4 question survey and ended up paying £3.99 postage and packing for trial samples of a face cream. It was only later on today that I decided to check it out as I became suspicious - if I don't send back the samples unopened within 14 days I will be charged £99! I have been in touch with Boots and they are aware of it and I need to call my bank tomorrow to make sure they don't take any further payments! Great! Just thought I would make more people aware of it.

Some times on these type of scams you find you are signed up for a monthly "fee" (£10.99 for example) and it is not always clear when you sign up.
Thanks for the heads up.

I had also inadvertently signed up for a £60 a month subscription, which I've hopefully managed to stop in time. I've added it to Spams and Scams - I've not been on AB for a while and hadn't noticed this new topic, thanks.
I seem to be the only person who gets 5-10 emails a day in my spam folder asking me to download my free £100 Tesco/Boots/Amazon vouchers
Sorry, yours seems to be a different type of scam- I didn't read it fully
