Competitions Discussion Thread Part 13

I got a phone call yesterday to say i had won a cruise and to press 2 to continue. I hung up as i did not believe it was genuine but as I am new to comping, I am doubting myself as I am unaware of the scams out there and i have entered a cruise comp recently. Surely its not genuine though right???

Hmmmmm. My advice is to never give out details!! I always think about who i give my details to and the answer on the phone to any cold caller is that I dont give out details without researching the company first.

I doubt this is genuine, as any genuine company would have email and a website or failing that a phone number you can call them on.

Id never give out bank details to a company unless you are 100% sure of what you are signing up to. Even genuine companies can get to agreeing to a continuous payment from your bank (which is not the same as a direct debit and cant be cancelled) so beware!! take your time, if the company is genuine it wont mind u waiting to research it first.x

Don't worry it won't have been genuine.

I have often posted comps from........... http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/notw/public/fabulous/

It appears that all last night's new comps are behind the "pay wall".Unless anyone get find a way in I think we will have to give these a miss.

The Competition club looks as though it could be useful for Twitter comps.

FYI Re Facebook comps.....just thought this might be of interest: the do's and don't of FB inc rules about competitions - it's aimed at those running FB pages, but talks about dual profiles etc...
