    you normally have to confirm your address by email with wems, plus when you register with that site you don't give your address just your email addy.

    well done

    This comp does sound vaguely familiar, I'm sure I saw it recently.

    I did do a search with 'Greens Cakes' and nothing came up except a comp from April and that wasn't with Families Online, and a comp with TVChoice that was actually for Legoland tix with Greens Cake mixes as a r/u prize!

    Hope its a win for you though! :j
    Thanks to all who post comps!

    I have often had an email asking for my address after a win; it isn't unusual in my experience :wink:

    If it's genuine, there should be some contact details on the email. Ring them up and check.

    I felt the same when I learned that I'd won a £500 voucher last week. I never win anything, and was sure it was a scam, But rang the number and verified it, before I sent them my address (haven't received the voucher yet tho' ).
    I try not to get too stressed out on the forum. I won't argue, i'll just leave a thread if you don't like what I say. :)
  • you thanked the op today... do you have short term memory loss? :D lol well done again
