After some advice hubby was left a voice message saying he had won first prize when he rang JJ he said it was 2nd prize, when hubby said voicemail said first, he said it had been a long day first, second third he probably got muddled
Played voice mail back definately says 1st - advice please

Is this the competition for the daily competition? If it is surely they don't ring people for a 2nd place prize so sounds a bit suspicious. I'm sure someone with more experience will be able to give you some advice.0

No said if he said first he had made a mistake long day and that stuff.
So hubby has got a cup coming - he is a tad disappointed as big difference between 1st prizes and secondBack and on a mission:cool:0 -

Manna, ring and ask to speak to Pamela. She is wonderful and will go out of her way to help. If you need her contact details PM me. They are a good team at Scottish and Newcastle and I'm sure this one will be quickly resolved.0

Not to disappoint you hun, but I had 2 calls for a 3rd prize. They said they did not have my address, and so called...so check if he's replied to their text with the address but yes, I would contact them about it.0

I think the problem is the voice message JJ left said 1st prize and left a number when hubby called he was told it was a second he said he had message and JJ said he had probably got it wrong as he had had a long dayBack and on a mission:cool:0 -
If it was just a mistake on the part of the person leaving the message (and let's face it we all make them) I don't see what else you can expect them to do.. No doubt they have loads of people to call and it would be understandable when leaving a voicemail to make a slip like that. Sorry if I'm in the minority viewpoint!
They did call me for a third prize win, even though they had my address, so a tel call does not mean you have won 1st prize.
too many comps..not enough time!0 -
I disagree, I think they should not feel free to make a mistake like that, it is not like he'd won a hat and they said a mug. They should do their job properly like we pay our money in texts..They should be careful esp when it comes to a first prize!!! although I read somewhere that they stopped 1st prizes??0
