    Does anyone put their real date of birth? I've been putting a false date as I want to disclose as little info as possible, but I wondered whether they check the date if you win? Not sure how they might though.
  • You have to keep your eye out when using auto fill, because it will put your email address in the sign up for the newsletter box. So just check the page before proceeding. :xmassmile

  • I also use Google's autofil, and do much the same as previous posters in that I don't fill the phone no in.

    hmm... intriguing.

    Hadn't thought of that mobfant, I'm sure in most cases it's to check you're over 18, don't know if they'd check though.

    It uses the same encryption the US military uses for top secret documents. Unless you've got a keylogger on your system, there should be no more worries about storing credit card details on it than there are submitting your details on any secure payment system.
