I am spammed by these people telling me that if I "Search for a business you have used, review it, and we’ll put you in our free prize draw!".

Oddly enough, I have some issues with this:-
  • Some months ago, when very bored, I actually did this over the course of one week and reviewed literally dozens of local businesses. They were allegedly offering a prize of a Nintendo WII every week and I fancied one of those. I did not win anything.
  • They never seem to announce who, if anyone, did win.
  • Bad review do not seem to stay up for any length of time.
  • Many of the businesses, as found by their search engine, are no longer active.
Am I alone in having these reservations about this site?
I am a cow so cannot speak Bullshine but I do recognise its smell when I come upon it.
