Suspicious Rewards

I had a few missed calls the an email to say I'd won the Sky Rewards competition for 2 adults 2 children to meet and greet Kidz Bop Kids.

I've not had the itinerary yet but, had an email that I'd receive an email Wise, their payment processor. The email will contain the amount you will receive as part of your Sky VIP prize. This is for your public transport cost. I'll need to complete my bank details on the secure link they provide within 3 days. Once completed, should receive the payment straight away.

This sounds very dodgy to start with and not happy sharing my bank details. Secondly, the money they've mentioned is £50 and the train ticket for us both is £100 so doesn't even the cost even though he prize says travel is included.

Anyone else had this? The emails all came from Stretch Communications Ltd who sent emails on behalf of Sky.

Something doesn't sound right here, if you have won a competition then I would have thouht that something would appear in the competition of the app itself to notify you of this so I take it there is nothing there ?

I've entered loads of competitions. It was very compelling! Never put my bank details on anywhere
