Stuck on a mag daily question

Is anyone else getting that horrible question called "Retirement Experience"? It asks:

Estimated Property Value []

Value of loan or mortgage currently secured on property []

Age of youngest homeowner []

How would you like to receive our response?

Email []
Call Back []
Not Interested []

I've tried ticking 'not interested'. That isn't enough to get through. I've also tried adding zero value to each of the value boxes. That also doesn't work. Apart from giving them info about myself that I don't want to (and therefore won't), any ideas?

Thanks

    I was just about to post the same thing - I've done the same as you done and can't figure out a way to get past it. Driving me mad!

    Hopefully it'll sort itself out soon.

    So you can't opt out, that's a bummer :(
    I'm wondering if you put a fake number will that disqualify you when they phone and discover it's fake?

    Not sure, but I would be surprised. 2 reasons, they're one of the sponsors, so no really connected to the comp. But mainly because it's clearly an error that the 'not interested' box doesn't work. So I think it would be very unfair to not count our entries, and hopefully not easy to trace back to show that's what happened. What does everyone else think?
