    Hello I'm new to all of this! I hope I'm writing in the correct place - here goes... I had an e-mail sent to me saying 'winner notification' but I didn't like to open it as there was no reference on it. Is this usual? I actually deleted it so perhaps I have missed out but I didn't want to open something nasty!

    I hope someone can help.

    With thanks


    Hello, i had an email saying exactly that yesterday. But it was just a spam email telling me i'd 'won' the microsoft lottery :rolleyes: Chances are yours was the same.

    If youve deleted it then theres not really much you can do, I do get odd ones that say winner notification in the subject line that are saying I have won millions - hmmm, spam:D When it looks like an email Im not sure on I look at the subject line and see what that says and also at the name of the sender, if that doesnt determnine whether its a genuine email (in most cases it does) I open it, I use hotmail for my emails and also have spam and virus programs on my computer

    It wasn't that one Toniq, it was a while ago with a 'debate' on it saying do they both work there.

    the one with the debate was posted by Mrs Birdy and bizywizy posted on it, it has now been deleted. There is reference to it in this thread

    buzylizzy is a completely different person.

    sorry for bringing it up again.

    On a side note - Al how did you have 0 posts yet I was looking at one of your posts??

    Surely if you had zero then they 'should' all be gone?? Any ideas how that works? ;)

    OMG I cant believe its raised its head again.

    I bizywizy totally admit that I am one of 3 admin people on totz2teens. Actually I am the only one that deals with competitions in any way shape or form.

    I did post them for about a year on here. I use MSE personally and shared the comps here too. I stopped when I was told too.

    There was a Mrsbirdy who posted them on here - she wasnt anything to do with totz2teens other than being a member on there and here. She had all her posts removed from MSE saying she wasnt allowed to post them even though she had nothing to do with it.
    Now poor buzylizzy has been subjected to this and apart from sending them a huge PM apologising for the mix up I have never as far as I know had any contact with them.

    I thought we wanted comps on this site for people to enter and win. I know we dont want spamming and self advertising ect which I appreciate but comping is supposed to be fun and a hobby isnt it.

    I personally love it if I get a win and I love the fact the generally everyone on MSE is great at sharing the comps they find.

    So again for clarification - I AM THE ONLY PERSON THAT IS ACTUALLY TO DO WITH TOTZ2TEENS - NO ONE ELSE AT ALL - If people want to post the competitions on the site then please let them without prejudice.

    Hope that clears it up a wee bit

    Thankyou bizywizy your post is appreciated I did try to tell the person who reported me that I was nothing to do with the site but she wouldn't believe me.The only reason i started posting the comps was that no one else seemed to want to do it and I know people do win and have won from these comps and thought they would want to continuue entering.This person also insists that she pm'd me to see what I had to say therefore I assume that it was you she pm'd as it certainly wasn't me.I certainly hope that this puts an end to the insistence that I am connected to the site this and the fact that abuse checked it out and reinstated my post should indicate to everyone that i am not involved with totztoteens in any way.
