Here is the email I received from [EMAIL="planet49@dlgpartner.com"]planet49@dlgpartner.com[/EMAIL] (I've taken the links out just in case.

I think I entered this ages ago, or something simillar. As they say, you are a POTENTIAL winner, as is everybody who enters the draw. I seem to remember they rang me up shortly after I entered and said I might win (lol) and would I like to buy some Euromillions tickets from them meanwhile? I said no thanks, I'll just wait for the Audi!

They weren't pushy or anything, but they are obviously on a mission to sell you extra stuff.

Just me that seems to be winning a fair bit then lol, I usually have one win worth around £100+ a month then a fair few smaller items as well. I suppose it helps with having 2 kids so I can enter almost all the kids comps too in there names, although eldest DD likes to enter some herself which is what she'll be doing later today x

Does anyone think that getting rid of the comps ending has increased their winnings? Since the comps ending list went I've won loads more... is it just coincidence?

I think I'm winning less since comps ending finished, but then can't really complain as I got a cheque for £4000 from Real Deal last month, so that more than makes up for it

Hi everyone. I was about to post a comp that I came accross on Google, however, the URL looks a bit suspicious and there are no T&Cs nor closing date. Can someone please check it out and let me know whether you think it is a legitimate comp. http://emi.emreact.com/go.asp?/.$.emu001.virgin.kooks.mailers/bEMU001/ecullinane2@hotmail.com/mKKB2V9/oATT2V9/tATT2V9/uWSTKQX1/xA6YTV9

Thanks xx

Received this e-mail today, don't know how true it is, but just so you are aware of it:

Postal Scam

Can you circulate this around especially as Christmas is fast approaching - it has been confirmed by Royal Mail. The Trading Standards Office are making people aware of the following scam:
A card is posted through your door from a company called PDS (Parcel Delivery Service)suggesting that they were unable to deliver a parcel and that you need to contact them on 0906 6611911 (a premium rate number). DO NOT call this number, as this is a mail scam originating from Belize .
If you call the number and you start to hear a recorded message you will already have been billed £15 for the phone call.
If you do receive a card with these details, then please contact Royal Mail Fraud on 02072396655 or ICSTIS (the premium rate service regulator) at [URL="mhtml:{C0500B26-1731-4AB0-810B-6DE1F19475DD}mid://00000051/!x-usc:blocked::BLOCKED::http://www.icstis.org.uk/"]www.icstis.org.uk[/URL]
