    :mad: This is such a fix and they should be reported!

    I fully agree, even though I posted the original thread, I am disgusted. They advertised this in National Newspaper (albeit The XXX), if they only had a few tv's then why advertise in a national paper:mad:

    Why not? It's a promotion designed to get people to watch their channel. It's certainly done that... None of us have any appropriate evidence to suggest it's a 'fix'. I tried phoning.. didn't get through, so might try again later.
  • all the calls will pay the difference and money over on what they sold!!! they are well in pocket!!! not even trying... £1.50 for false hope is a con!!!

    To whom? The Office For Complaining About How Big Companies Try To Extract Money From Naive People Who Are Gullible Enough To Be Taken In By Such Stuff (OFGULL)?

    I'm really sorry, was trying to help people save money, but looks like my post ended up costing people money.
  • I got one!!!! :j

    I rang for the one at 4pm, I thought I heard the 'thankyou' message but in my excitement I pressed a button and ended the call.

    Anyway, they've just rung to confirm and I've also received the confirmation email!

    So thank you very much Mer0176, you did save someone a lot of money after all!!!!!
  • Hi Mer0176, not your fault and thanks for the info, it was worth the £3 in calls, yep I tried again in the 9pm (hour) as they call it, did the same again, dialed the number within 2 secs and was told it had ended, so that makes me a sucker LOL, still thanks Mer0176 for your info, still I had more chance winning that TV than the lottery LOL. :rotfl:
