Hi All

Just a quick question, has anyone on here won, or know someone who has won, anything from this site, or is it just spamalicious?

Thanks Sam

Nothing here, and its on my spamlist via dcclists so I would guess its spamalicious as are half the comps you enter!

11 Are there any sites, from experience, which are likely to generate lots of spam?


There are a few which have come to our collective attention as sites that, when used for comps, seem to generate lots of unwanted postal, email & phone call attention. These are listed below for your information, however, please do remember that this is only the collective opinion of other MSE Compers & does not necessarily reflect upon the sites themselves.

Before I knew any better and because I saw them on sites I trusted such as Time Out's I entered a lot of them, but nothing ever came off them ( though I am sure people do win on them as I get sent a list of names every month of winners) and I felt they were getting an awful lot of info out of me for nothing. And there has been despite me ticking 'NO' or 'Not Interested' spam that can be traced back to them. So now I don't enter at all to be honest.

They have amazing prizes but also no direct email or phone number and their contact us section is tricky to use if you want to have a direct one to one with someone which to me is never a good sign. You may well win, but getting your prize may not be so straightforward if you google there will be stories from past winners about this too.

Has Facebook just thrown a wobbly for anyone else?
Thought it was the M&S parcel comp being silly & refusing to send parcel invites. Can't get it to load at all now...
This M&S comp did tend to slow down everything on my lappy when I'm using it anyhow...

Yes i have one twice in the past 2 months x

Oh bum, (I think- at least I know it did it for other too!) can't get any FB to load now & haven't entered all the FB comps today yet

ETA - restarted my lappy & all seems to be running fine now. FB loading up too Might follow your example tho' VW & lay off the old M&S parcels.
