Does anyone have knowledge of the above site please?
You can enter with just one click into lots of competitions, seems easy but I just want to know I am not wasting my time.

Their competitions are posted on MSE here.

I have no reason to believe that they are a scam. They are owned by Simply Media and their competitions also appear on sites such as Mumsnet. I don't think Mumsnet would be associated with them if they had not satisfied themselves that they are a reputable company.

At least one person on MSE has won from them (see here).

Because they are so easy to enter, loads and loads of people probably enter, so your chances of winning are pretty slim.

As far as I know there are no issues with iwon iwon.

However, simply being featured on a "reputable" site is no guarantee that another site is - quite often money is involved and sites like ITV, Sky, magazines etc carry some competitions run by the worst sites that are on the MSE spam list. Also some sites carry ads inserted by Google and they have very little control over what those ads are.

I received a letter from the Nspco national survey Prize and competition office the say I've won a minimum of & 25 upto £20000. But I have to either call them at a cost of £1.50pm plus the call charge for my phone provider on 09061573205 or text YUMMY135 to 88810 at £1.50 each for a total of six texts.
At the bottom of this letter it give you the promotion companies address as wye Valley promotions Ltd t/a national survey, price and competition office. Reg. Office Green heys Walford Road Hertfordshire, HR9 5DB, Reg in England number 2415951.
I have also received a further letter from them saying final reminder.
This company appear to be absolute corrupt and are the base for lots of other entries for fraudulent activity reported on moneysavingsexpert.

I keep getting an email popping up on my kindle up to 4 or 5 times a day every day from competitions.marketing@walker.co.uk. I haven`t ever clicked on it in case it introduces a virus onto my kindle, I have reported it to amazon and have tried everything I can think of to stop it sending the emails. They never appear in my actual inbox, just on my screen whilst I am browsing something else. Anyone any ideas how to get rid of it
