Hi
Not really sure if I am in the right place - story of my life really!:rolleyes:

Rec'd an email today from DHL, said they are unable to deliver a parcel due to an incorrect address. There was an attachment with the address label on it. When I tried to open it my computer flagged up with a red banner that a trojan was attached. I have never seen anything like this before but I just wanted to let othere MSE's know as I believe my email has been used via a comp I have entered.

Please feel free to point me in the right direction if this isn't the right place to post.
Thanks everyone:)

I've had a lot of these. On DHL's website there is a section that tells you about the latest scam emails doing the rounds and a section you can report it to as they investigate and try to track down the sender.

Hope your PC is OK.

Hi all,

Just a quick question... might seem a silly one but does anyone when entering comps put thier partner down aswell for wins on the same comps thus entering twice?
of course checking T&C that its not 1 per household first...
Just wondering if theres some comping etiquette out there and if sites monitor this or not.


thanks to all posters :A

I don't purely because I don't have time to check all the T&C's and enter all the competitions twice! I wouldn't have time to do anything else. As long as it doesn't say one entry per household/no multiple entries you should be ok but if it says no multiple entries i wouldn;t enter both of you incase they monitor IP address.

Do you find that your in box gets more and more cluttered. I use a separate comping email addy but I find it is getting longer and longer to check to make sure there are not winning e-mails in the clutter. Any hints or tips please

I personally save all my messages in my deleted box then on a sunday when i've got time i unsubscribe from newsletters/junk i don't need and it usually brings it down a bit

Hiya, i posted a comp for a trip to egypt with maxwell and other prizes and i cant find it! Did someone take it off? x

Is that the one where you had to buy a 10 pack of recordable DVDs? The NPN route was only for NI and Germany, perhaps it was removed because the DVDs would be more than £1.50?

I looked at that one and thought the same, the cost would be more than the £1.50 limit. I do think if they remove something they could PM the OP to tell them. That way noone would be confused!

I have had an e-mail from Ikea for a £3000 give away which I would like to post, I have searched and although I can see old comps this one doesn't seem to be posted. I am too chicken (and too useless at anything technological) to try though! Honestly I have a mac book and the e-mail function on it has been set up by someone else and I can't even work out how to undo that to enter the e-mail comps!

It's just a shame because this is SUCH a good site and I can see how hard people work to find comps. I would like to help!

Bit pointless but I wanted to share
