    Hi, I've been looking for information on this company as I've recently been getting emails from them too, for Mystery Shoppers, Secret Diners and other Secret Shoppers for Sainsbury's petrol forecourts - I don't really understand all the jargon that has been used on this thread e.g.POP3'd and I don't really know too much about spam either, other than it's like junk mail through your door. So I'd love it if someone could explain if this company is for real - I've looked on the MSE Mystery Shopper bit but there's no mention of them, so obviously I realise they're not in the top group!

    I am one of these winners but it's fine if nobody believes me. I was excited when I made the original post so apologies if I did not clearly describe how I was entered into the competition. The truth is that I do not recall going to the LuckyDayUK website before and apparently the competition was held in 2010. I did not hear from DVX Interactive until June 2011 and have been on hundreds of websites since then. I admit to entering competitions online but I also joined groups such as Maximiles where they offer you points for free and sometimes the details are forwarded to marketing companies.

    It is genuine- I spent £250 in Next and £800 in Asda without any problems at all (an extra £50 was provided because they could not give me a Tesco voucher which was what I had won). I was quite worried when I was first contacted but when they already had my address I realised it must have been one of the competitions I had entered but with it being 9 months before, I could not remember. I have not heard from the company since and have more spam through Skype than anything else. If they already have your details, what is there to lose?

    One post - and you expect us to believe you based on what?

    Oh yeah - and at least one deleted post.

    Right then.;)

    That was Didoow, and the thread was 1.5 years old at the time. But the deleted post dragged it back up again. :)
