£1 Engagement Ring......

Hi Ladies,

Just seen a thread about this on the YAYW site.

A 1.18 carat white gold engagement ring is being raffled at £1 a ticket. Payment is through Paypal, so nice and safe. Apparently a max of 2000 tickets are being sold. I'm ticket number 1020 - it maybe worth a punt?

Good luck if you decide to enter :)

    Sorry but looks dodgy, the website was only setup yesterday and is registered to a US PO Box which would make tracing the owner extremely difficult if they run off with the money. There is nothing on the website about who is running this compo, any contact details or any info that can be verified. Wouldn't touch with a bargepole.

    One of the ladies on YAYW have admitted its her ring she's raffling.

    Obviously its a gamble and not 100% confirmed. But payment is through Paypal so no disclosure of card details.

    Good luck Kavane :D

    Although she said the ticket numbers start at 1000. I'm 1030 (I think), so a bit of a way to go lol
