    Oh sorry:o I didn't realise it's a scam.
    :hello:
  • Ahhhh, this explains a lot. I was a "winner" before Christmas of a chance for a paint balling day at one of their sites. However when I read further, the prize was worthless.

    I just opted for 'no' for the paintball prize.

    The PlayStation etc will be ok.

    The security code didn't like me!

    It's not a con :confused: You can buy the vouchers in Asda for £25. I gave the one I won to a friend who used it for her son's 18th birthday and they had a great time.

    If you want to go paintballing it saves you money. You do have to buy your own paintballs though.

    You also have to pay a £10 non-refundable deposite, which they claim you get back in the form of 100 paintballs. Which would normally cost you £6 or so.

    Plus you have to put up with texts reminding you to book.
