  • I see there has already been a warning about this.

    You can see everything they stole as it's all posted publically on the internet! :mad::mad: They put everything here http://pastebin.com/ just seatch for The Sun in the top right.

    Looks like people who went into a Wrigley's competition? Also all the names and emails of people on a bullying support message board. What utter ... well, fill in your own word there! :mad::mad::mad:

    Hi everyone,

    Hope you have all had a nice/lucky few days. I had a nice little break in York and the weather was really good which was lucky as the weather here has been rubbish so I'm told. Trying to catch up with some comps now. Won a Dorset Cereal Hamper (Belvoir Fruit Farm Comp) as soon as I came back which is lovely as I only have a few some boxes left after my last win of them. :j

  • RE: FLICKERING EMBER

    I have had a similar problem with actually receing my prize. Over a month ago I was informed by Ginsters that I had won a Baumatic microwave. Despite frequent calls to Baumatic, I still haven't received my prize. They have arranged delivery on two seperate occassions, both of which I have spent waiting at home all day to no avail. Now everytime I call they just say they'll call me back and never do. I have emailed Ginsters, so hopefully they might do something about it. Other than that I am at a loss.

    If any compers have some advice, I'd be very grateful to hear it.

    Also, is there a "Where the **** is my prize?" forum anywhere? I couldn't find one, and I think such posts might just get lost on this forum.

    Hi,
    There is a section in the comping guide about what to do if a prize doesn't arrive HERE with contact details for the IPM.

    Hope that helps and you get your prize soon.

    How do you all feel about voting comps? They seem so unfair to me.
  • Hi I'm new to comping and have set up a facebook account just for entering comps.

    Would be very grateful if anyone wants to add me Nikki Walker my profile pic is a sunset.

    Hi sid,

    How are you?

    I try not to get involved with voting comps unless I " know" the person. I don't enter them myself. They don't seem fair as you vote for someone you know which isn't always the best.

    MMM agreed. Recently had a go at a voting comp but got well overtaken within a day by someone who obviously has loads of friends .

    I sometimes see people appeal for votes on MSE and lots of people reply saying they've voted for them but then I feel sorry for the entrants who haven't asked strangers to vote for them.

    Like you Sheils I think I won't get involved in future :)

    Afternoon all,

    I'm feeling really rather miffed!
    I got confused about what date it was (it happens to us all :p) and i wrote 'this comp has ended' and reported a couple of closed comps on the day that they ended (as i thought it was the day before!) I got a real snotty reply from someone and it has miffed me right off. All i did was make a mistake. *breathe*

    I hope you are all having a good day :)

    As for voting comps - i don't really vote for people but i do feel a bit bad when i don't. Then again, i don't think i would ask people on here to vote for me.
    Redundancy isn't fun - comping is!
