win but im not sure i have???

I posted a few days ago saying i won 4 tickets to the big chill plus a tippee. The competion ended on 22nd July. After a few emails the company miss win it (.com) said that they would send out tickets same day delivery on wednesday (tomorrow). I was a bit suspcious... i don't know why? lol
Anyway, i called the big chill info line and they said that they were aware of the website but they hadn't given them free tickets to give away so miss win it would have had to buy them themselves.
I'm confused:( Why would a company do this?
Any one got any ideas?
Finally debt free, all thanks to this site and all the posters:j

    Part of the Furniture
    Alot of companies have a marketing budget where they pay for promotions, sounds to me instead of paying a promotion company to handle the competition for them they are doing it themselves probably saving some money. It's fairly normal.
    Comping wishlist for 2017
    1. Family holiday 2. Christmas presents :rudolf: 3. Fishing stuff
    The more you put into life, the more you get out
  • I really would doubt they wouldnt be legit.....otherwise they'd have to deal with everyone on here!! :)
  • I'll find out tomorrow either way;)... i'll let you know if i get the tickets and i'm just being really stupid:o
