Mail order customers were victims of 'scam'
Inside Out meets the victims of a mail order scam who believed they were the sole winner of cheques worth thousands of pounds.
They received letters from Hampshire-based company Emery of Romsey, congratulating them on winning cash prizes.

The parent company behind the letters is Agence de Marketing Appliqu茅, based in Belgium, but it relies on Emery to process the orders.

The company is run by father and son Nick and David Gebbett. Inside Out's Jon Cuthill asked David Gebbett for his response to the allegations.
