Hey guys, im pretty new to this competition buisiness but had 2 emails on wednesday saying i'd won 2 separate comps.........not sure if they're real though so any advice or ideas are appreciated.........
firstly i had email from elegance saying i'd won their june newsletter competition and had won a designer handbag, asked for my address to send it to which i sent to them but i've heard nothing since???
second email was from ASOS saying i'd won £250 vouchers and again asking if i could send my address to them (which i did) and got a responce saying thanks you and that actually it was £500 vouchers......not received them yet either!!!
Do u think these are real? i'll be so disappointed if they are scams

Im sure they are both real some times the prizes take a while to arrive. I won a £1000 on Absolute radio and it was about 5 weeks or more before i received it. Well done on your wins.Thanks to all competitions posters and answer finders:TDon't squander time its the stuff lives are made of:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:0

Can you remember entering for any competitions that this might be from. Sounds like its real to me as once you have sent your address you usually just receive your prizes in the post. If you click on show details at the top of the email it should show what email address it was from so you can check it but it sounds genuine. Well done on your wins :j0

Well done 2 great prizes - sometimes you have to be really patient and wait for things to arrive - I just save all the winning emails in case things don't arrive so I've got the details and someone to email0

awww thanks - i was so excited!!! i hope so cuz they're the first wins ive had and i thought they were very good prizes (i do only enter for things that i'd like or could use cuz i dont want to waste it when someone else could enjoy it)

Have u got any tips on how to get the best out of the competitions on here - i dont know where to start and keep getting lost lol

there is a competition on here for £500 ASOS vouchers and some girly books, check to see if you entered, that way it may put your mind at rest. They both sound real, and it takes weeks for some wins to arrive
congrats on your wins and keep us updated
YOU'VE GOT TO BE IN IT TO WIN IT :j:j0 -
