    I have received an email today for a comp to win Tesco Vouchers. the comp is run by Rewards Today. Does anyone know if this is likely to be a spam generating company? It does have opt in/out boxes for Park catalogue, experian and win £1000 to spend on credit card aswell as the voucher comp.

    I reckon it sounds spammy - but I've nothing to back that up - yet.......;)

    ok I've had a bit of a look - and yep spam city - they are owned by intela, who are:
    a performance-based media company, specializing in lead generation and customer acquisition.

    Apologies if I'm posting in wrong forum.

    I've been entering into some of the competitions on here and have just received an email saying I've been selected to possibly win an Audi A3 :T

    I've clicked the link which takes you to Planet49's website and filled the information in (name, address, phone number). I got a text straight away asking me to reply with "LUCKY" so they know its my number and the text said its from Big Lucky Draw with an 0844 helpline number. I haven't text back yet but should I ? Pages 3 and 4 from the Planet49 competition were about selecting offers, 1 box was pre-ticked so I de-ticked it and clicked continue. The last page had an offer on about pick 7 numbers and win X amount of £'s daily. I did click that one but stopped after picking the numbers and read the small print which said they would charge £1-50 for the texts they send. I closed that window down straight away.

    I've had an email from Scratch2Cash which is a scratch card website but am definitely not signing up for it as I havent heard of it before. Have you ?

    I wonder if I will win an Audi A3 ?
