I'm still pretty new so cant paste URLs but if you copy the above into your browser you should be fine.

This is a Maxim competition that is ran by topfox who are on the avoid list, but i've never had any probs with them so far! :-)

Good luck!

10 Are there any sites, from experience, which are likely to generate lots of spam?
There are a few which have come to our collective attention as sites that, when used for comps, seem to generate lots of unwanted postal, email & phone call attention. These are listed below for your information, however, please do remember that this is only the collective opinion of other MSE Compers & does not necessarily reflect upon the sites themselves.

I've always found maxim ok as well on the spam front.
Although I can't see camera link anywhere, I'm getting taken to Win an HDTV, Xbox and 'Need for Speed'

Someone said in a previous thread that Maxim have recently taken competitions out of house, and moved over to TopFox, so that may explain why past Maxim entries havn't brought spam.

cant see why comp firms NEED your address up front, unless they were intended to use for spam.. surely only winenrs would be contacted, to get details for delivery of xyz item/s..?


i usually put a duff address (123456 nothing here road etc, or 'to be advised', if they insisit..)

Most prizes are sent out without contacting you, saves time and effort trying to contact the winner I guess. So really you could be doing yourself out of some nice goodies.

I've never had any hassle from Maxim and joined a couple of months ago, thats why i tend to post them. But i always say that that TopFox are on the avoid list, as seen on my earlier post.

Has anyone won anything from Maxim before?

I have won with Maxim before, but the issue here is that they are now doing comps via Topfox.
