    It took me about 3 months to get my first win.
  • I reckon I've been entering comps on here for about 3-4 months now and I've won nothing.
    I only enter the ones for games consoles, TV's, laptops, and cash though...
  • Oh and I'm probably entering about 10 comps a day.
  • I tried comping about a year ago with no luck but on sunday night i decided to start again and on monday morning I had an email saying I had won a set of 3 beauty boxes worth £40. I know that was just very lucky but its given me that push to keep going.

    My first win was a book which I won in the first week. Have had quite a few wins since then - lovely suprises and a lot of fun being creative and enjoying wishful thinking :)
    Wishing you all good luck!

    Just received a letter from this company saying I've won two prizes but need to claim quickly.

    I understand they're the same people behind numerous other similar scams this year.

    I'm guessing it works by you paying more than £10 to win what turns out to be a pendant worth about £2 - as opposed to the £25,000 it implies you'll win.

    Bin it if you receive it!

    This is definately a scam one!
    I have however just received an email (or rather OH has) in spam box from dhl saying they couldn't deliver parcel & to pick up from depot. Has anyone else received this? It does seem genuine and no threat was detected but i'm still wary of it.
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    Were you given a phone number to ring? Your message may be perfectly genuine, but just check you're not being ask to phone Sierra Leone!
