E: 31/08 Win a craftmatic adjustable bed!

This is my very first comp posting. I have searched by url and not found it, please don't be too harsh with me if it is on here already.

I think it's a monthly draw with the last one at the end of this month?

Good luck

  • Be careful - this company spams you to death and you will get untold sales calls from their 'advisors' trying to get you to book an appointment with them.

    Check the clever use of wording:

    Please do not forget to provide your telephone number as Craftmatic would like to contact you by post, phone & email in the future with information about our products.

    This company has been on watchdog and Rogue Traders for their scaremongering type sales pitch. I saw the programmes and was livid at the way the vulnerable were treated :mad: I'll not be entering and would advise anyone else to Google them before they do too.

    By the way thanks to the OP for posting :A, its not your fault they're a terrible company

    It's easily done :) I've just checked the list of spammy sites in Velvet Glove's Compers' Guide and Craftmatic isn't there yet. I've left a post asking for it to be added.
