I had a call from Scottish Power about 2 hours ago saying i had won something so i think it might have something to do with this thread

Seems a scam though as it was rather strange.They called my mobile and before i could answer it rung off.I rang back uusing the land line and did 141 so my number was withheld.He said have you entered a comp to which i said yes and then mentioned something about several prizes including this one i think.He then asked if i wanted to go through and find out if i wanted to take up their gas/leccy and i said no.He then said ok it's another department we have your details and they'll get back to me.Well that's the strange thing you see as i withheld my number and i didn't say who i was when calling nor did he actually ask so how could he know that he's got my details?

Back in Sept I won a digital photo frame from this comp http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1686577&highlight=digital+photo posted by Bella165.

Only second win so waited paitently thinking it may take a while to get here. I eventually emailed them at them in October but got no reply

After checking Velvet Gloves Comping guide I emailed Edwin at the Institute of Sales Promotions mentioned in the guide. After only 1 day he has got back to me saying my address was incomplete so it did not reach me but it is now on it's way again :j

Yeah for Edwin and the Institute of Sales Promotions & thank you to Velvet Glove for her wonderfully helpful guide.

Lesson learnt, check my address!

I had a call from Scottish Power a couple of hours ago too. He didn't say I had won anything just that I had entered a draw and agreed to them contacting me.He said that they had some special deals going but when I said I was already with them, he said he would mark that down and was sorry to trouble me.
So looks like a bit of marketing rather than a scam.

If possible anyone around can u press expire on the first news comps which have all been bumped as they r all expired xxx
They r on the front page with expire in title! xxxx

Scottish Power rang me, they never mentioned comp though ..... he did sound rather like he might have rung rather a lot of people before me without any luck getting them switched over .... you know, kind of like he knew what my response was going to be - eh he he!!

It's an 0141 number btw

When they ring me I just tell them I live in student housing and have no control over the gas and electric, its included in my rent. Always seems to get rid of em nice and quick x

Hoping I post this in the right place...
I have been doing comps for just over a month, been entering at least 100+ a day, and I just don't seem to win anything (apart from a few instants!), believe me when I say I am not moaning and definately don't EXPECT to win anything, but the green eyed monster does sometimes come out when I see everyone else's win's and especially win's on the one's I know I have entered, now, is there anything else I can possibly do to increase my chances??
I know some of the comp's I have done haven't finished yet, and sometimes you don't get a WEM or call and prize just turns up, so might not have been sent yet, but I feel so disheartened...lol (ok semi moan over...hehehe) any suggestions?? xx

I really wouldn't worry too much hun a month isn't a very long time. I've been comping since April and last month I had a win from May and a win from July arrive so sometimes the promoters are just mega slow and sending things out.

Lots of lucky dust for you though x*"*x"*"x*"*x"*"x*"*x"*"x*"*x"*"x*"*x"*"x*"*x"*"x
