    At first I made the mistake of not ticking the no communication boxes & I used to get calls all the time but since I ticked the no communication box it's been fine
    Thanks to everyone that posts :T:money:
  • I think it is a very relevant issue. I normally use my work address rather than my home one. Also sometimes give only initials rather than full name. Never give me real dob.

    I assume that some of the regulars have been using them for a while?

    What are they like in terms of amount of information sent/passing on details to third parties?

    Thanks


    i haven't had any problems at all with these, no spam, no phone calls and no post. Hope that helps.
    If at first you don't succeed try, try, try again.

    Is anyone else having trouble entering the Strongbow comp.

    When I send the confirmation text I get the reply that the word YES isn't recognised and to try again, but the same happens. Just wont let me enter????

    Same thing happened yesterday - no text message yesterday evening so I can't have been entered.

    I was lucky enought to win a first prize a few days ago but there is no mention of only being allowed one win.

    I have emailed them to ask for their opinion.

    Any ideas :confused:


    Hi Hun. x
    I have entered every day with same orange mobile number and still get all the messages from them, (i won a first prize too) not really sure unless there is a problem with the network??

    Congrats on the DAB. xx
    Think it's about time the comping fairy remembered where I am! lol

    To avoid this I got an old mobile and put a new sim in it.I use that number just for comps so when that rings I do get a bit excited:D

    Hi,
    I've done a search here for comps to win tickets to Southport and Shrewsbury flower shows (this August)- only ones I've found are for last year.
    I'd love to go to one or both but can't afford to unless I'm lucky enough to win tickets:o

    Any help appreciated.

    No probs as long as you tick the boxes to opt out.
