    Can you please click expired on this comp if you get a minute.

    I'm guessing it closed early because of the Administration situation that Focus is in.

    Thanks Sue

    Does anyone know if anyone has ever won on What's on TV's instant win competitions? I can only find WEM references in the 'i've won' forum, which i assume are for their prize draws. Am i wasting my time?

    I was googling a comp and came across this site

    http://www.debtconsolidationboard.org/

    which seems to be made up of stolen odds and ends from MSE including some of today's new comps.

    Why would anyone do that? Who is it aimed at?

    looks like it's/they're hoping to get ad clicks (& money) from lost and confused web searchers:mad:
    Hopefully google etc will point people here first and push them down/kick them out the search list for duplicate content or even being a web scraper.

    littlewhiskers won some Uggs on the nowmagazine instants (which are run in the same way as WOTV by the same company). See post #5 on THIS THREAD.

    I know that this may perhaps be anathema to determined competitions "doers" but I wish to try to get "off list" in respect of Readers Digest Prize Draw.:)

    They seem to have caught up with me again after many years. My previous experience would indicate that they are very difficult to shake off. They also are not on the Mail preference scheme and have perhaps moved their competition base to the Isle of Man to avoid other forms of regulation.

    Any ideas?

    Luck to you all!

    Probably because a lot of people on this forum do subscribe to similar magazines and could help. Also they do want to win competitions!
