    Isn't this one of those that gets you to sign up to a reversed text messaging service, where you pay something like £1.50 for each text you receive?

    That's why I didn't post this comp, after seeing it on the telly, after what was said in last week's comp thread. That would take the cost above what Martin allows. :confused:

    Not sure. It's a real shame, as well, as these are great prizes.

    Anyone? :confused:

  • I see this last week and i posted a reply as when i registered i received an email from Ymogen saying that i would then have to pay for reversed text messgaes.
    I got quite worried and franticly started to search the website to get this cancelled, my hubby would of gone mad lol.
    Luckily i cancelled before they started sending messages or i would of been in for a big bill..
    I think this comp should be banned from this site..

    I must admit I always text the answer through and have done for years as Fifth Gear have been giving cars away for years.

    Whenever I text the answer through I always get a text thanking my entry to the competition and sometimes telling me of another one they are running.

    I have never gone through the online entry and charge method as it is easier to text each week.

    The main plugs on the show are through phoning and text.

    As it is a TV show and the bad press last year TV competitions recieved I am pretty sure this competition is legit.

    Cheers
