in Praise, vent & warnings
I received an email this morning from Natasha Campbell [EMAIL="info@deliveryservice.com"]info@deliveryservice.com[/EMAIL] with a link to a site where I could enter a comp to win $100 of Argos vouchers.
The website is http://www.winargosvouchers.co.uk/index.pl?aff=ism-CD56e
It instructs you to enter your mobile number to sign up.
You need to be very careful and read the small print at the bottom of the page.
If you enter you mobile phone number you will receive a login code to logon to the website and at this point you will have been charged £10.
Has anybody else signed up without reading the small print?

    I have doubts about the OP and the link they have put up!

    Most posts from the OP are just to increase post count, perhaps to add credence to the post

    There is no need to doubt me the email was a result of something to do with a subscription I made. I realised what a mistake I had made after I got the text message saying I would be charged £10 every monday unless I sent a text saying stop. I am fairly new to comping and am now very worried about the implications. I do not want to get into an escalating war of words, I just thought I was helping people in case they make the same mistake as me.

    I got the email too but again did not open it as presumed it was spam.

    The OP is genuine I think
