This is a brand new website with limited contact details, but some great comps, so thought I post them.
I have entered them all successfully yesterday... :)
"Hello **** got a Toshiba" was an advertising slogan once used by Toshiba.
What is the missing word?

    Hi,thanks for the comp.It may just be me being ultra cautious but I can't see what the web site is all about.The products that are being presented for sale on it are actually for sale on Amazon ,from a variety of vendors.If you click on the product you are taken to an Amazon page.

    Yes I did notice that myself weeowen, but as I understsand it the website is giving people the chance to get the best deals on gadgets, and is possibly looking for promotion, so has offered competition prizes to promote their site... :confused:

    I did state that this is a brand new website in the OP, and I've entered the comps myself yesterday morning, and have had no excess spam or any other problems.

    It's entirely up to individuals if they wish to enter... :beer:

    As far as I can see these are daily competitions. At least that is how I interpret the Terms.

    sorry to bump but, is it just me that is highly sceptical

    i've only been doing comps for the last 11 months but as soon as i hit on this post i realised i hadnt seen this url before and a quick search revealed it was the only one on MSE, after 11 months i've come to find that i've probably encountered pretty much most of the frequent companies that are running comps and so when i hit on a strange named url [electricalzoo] i become a lil suspicious

    anyway, without wanting to offend the OP because i do understand they were only trying to share a find back to the community, i feel i must point out my findings

    - the website domain was only registered 09 Nov 09
    - it is registered to a company called "Bo0m Boom Ltd"
    - the registrant type is a UK Individual
    - the contact us page is only an email addy
    - all articles on the [professional looking] homepage are only links to texts/articles on other sites
    - the links page shows up some dodgy comping sites

    ok some of you may well think well its only my name and email addy they're getting, but thats a start

    personally i would not bother with this competition when there are appx 300 other telly comp in a calendar year on MSE that are well known to be of a reputable source

    hope this helps some

    ............And there is another new site - Electricalzoo.co.uk - posting comps with exactly the same company registration set up details as above (ie 9 Nov etc etc)
