You could always post a few of the links on here as it will take a few people clicking to expire them.

Hi All, Im back after a good few months off for various reasons.

Any New comps or any thing I need to know?

Thanks and Good Luck xx

Have y'all noticed less comps this month? I'm now planning to tackle the closing 30th comps and there are only 16½ pages compared to last month's 90 pages. Or is it because September ended on the 30th and the 90+ pages are awaiting me on closing 31st October? :eek::eek: I dare not look :rotfl:

hi not sure if this is in the right place or if anyone else has mentioned it,but found this on The Winners Circle facebook page and thought i should share it with you

If you get a card posted through your your door from a company called PDS(Parcel Delivery Service) saying they were unable 2 deliver a parcel and that u need to contact them on 0906661191 don't call the number it's a scam that'll cost you about £400 just 4 the phone call. If u receive a card with these details, then pls contact Royal Mail Fraud on 0207 239 6655 : Let other people know. It's a big scam going round

There was such a scam (though it never cost you more than £9) but it was shut down years ago. See

This comes around every year:

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this - feel free to move to the right place. I just received this email and not sure if it is genuine or not.

Can you circulate this around especially as Xmas is fast approaching - it has been confirmed by Royal Mail. The Trading Standards Office are making people aware of the following

A card is posted through your door from a company called PDS (Parcel Delivery Service) suggesting that they were unable to deliver a parcel and that you need to contact them on 0906 6611911 (a Premium rate number).
DO NOT call this number, as this is a mail scam originating from Belize .

If you call the number and you start to hear a recorded message you will already have been billed £315 for the phone call.

If you do receive a card with these details, then please contact Royal Mail Fraud on 020 7239 6655

Cheers for the post but its an Urban Myth,see here

It is just an email that pops up every so often.As far as I know UK regs do not alllow such a rate on a phone call.

I'll pm a BG for a move to discussion.

I have been asked to repost this comp for the next week but am having issues finding it.

Maybe it will be live later on but if anyone can help it would be good :-)
