    Hi

    I too have been a member for about 18 months and wondered when I would win anything. Prizes always seem really great, but have not had any luck.

    Would be interested if anyone can confirm that they have won a prizes without any catches, etc.

    I use a unique email address for every competition I enter, and today I got some spam to the email address I used to enter a competition on the MyOffers site. It isn't related to the competition I entered, AFAIK, and I didn't enter any others while I was on their site.

    I've deregistered that email address now. Will be interesting to see if I get any more (allowing for any on the make now).

    I stuck with my offers for about 8 months, entering every comp going and won nothing, receiving loads of spam like the rest of you! have completely given up on them now.

    Morning guys.
    I have only been entering all the comps on MSE for the last couple of months, and this morning got a letter from My Offers to say I have won a holiday with Seasons !
    Miraculously I have kept a copy of the e-mail they sent me to acknowledge my entry ( I do dozens a night when I'm in the comp mood - was up till 3 this morning actually !!! - sad )
    Anyway. Now I'm panicing. It is not the MAIN prize, but one of the 60 runner up prizes of a free weeks "TIMESHARE" holiday. But although my prize is supposed to be worth nearly £3000, is it going to cost me a fortune with flights and all the extras. :eek: One of the reasons I enter all the comps is because money is tight, so cannot afford to throw cash about
    I have to phone later to 'authenticate' my claim ( it is a free phone number !!:T )
    Any advice. Has anybody ever won, and is it genuine or a con, which I will end up regretting having won ???:confused:
  • dear o b,
    also got seasons offer and did contact them for information,
    put seasons holidays and complaints into google, and see the flood!
    foolish i gave them my postcode and then hung up , now receiving mass of postal mail with very creative adresses,
    this company is trouble
    I agree, my offers-- is also trouble,
    watch out,

    Another My Offers scam is "you have won a makeover and photosession".

    Watch out people. From what I can see the "makeover" means you are plastered with heavy makeup, they get you tipsy and then they pressurise you into buying expensive photographs.

    I agree with you all that the Seasons timeshare is a scam. However nobondy on MSE is ever going to fall for scams as obvious as the ones on My Offers!!!!!!!!!

    Cheers Chrissie, the picture is SMASHING.

    I think that successful competing probably relies on just dealing directly with companies, Would it be an idea to start a rogues gallery thread???
