Thank you, we have received your request. It will be processed and your Mivodesign pen will be sent out in the next few weeks.Working hard to be debt free! :A0 -
I've signed up for two for the household, one for me and one for my husband. When I submitted the request it first of all told me that I was in the wrong region (I presume it meant country is not US) and there were a couple of pop-ups. However, on clearing the pop-ups I came to a web page that said my request would be dealt with and the pen sent out in the next few weeks. I wait with bated breath until my pen appears.0

said not avaliable in my country(uk)then redirected me to some free laptop site
looks like a scam0 -
Have just completed form and was then asked about other surveys, which seemed quite innocuous. Mobile phone number was wanted and had the following message:- "FreeMsg Text OK To confirm your participation in theWixawin trivia game. Join the weekly quiz 4Q a week £1 message received £5 to join Info Wixawin.com"I am afraid now that I might get charged to receive these questions and if so do not know how to stop them. I did go through all the rest of their "offers" and ticked NO to all of them even the well known ones, but I know my details are on the original questionnaire.
I would be grateful if any-one could give me some advice or reassurance.
Thank you in advance0 -

this one is doing the rounds on the american freebie sites at the moment. some people are saying it's a phishing site, but others are still signing up anyway.
i tested it myself before lorweld made her post, to see what would happen. i was suspicious about it, so i didn't post it. i think lorweld was right to remove the link. if mine arrives, i'll let you all know and lorweld can put the link back in. i wasn't asked for any mobile details though and i was extremely careful not to sign-up to anything. as always with these things, i use a spammy email address.
i've posted the owner's email address here, but if i were you, i wouldn't even email him. i'd just sit tight and see what happens. let us know if any unwanted rubbish gets sent to your mobile.0 -
