    thannks for posting, but this one doesn't seem right for me.
    It has very poor grammer thoughout (I may point out here that mine isn't the best, but I do have a good reason)

    For example

    The phone will be the lowest specification i-phone 5 that Apple release and Oxfordshire Press will purchase it as soon as Apple release them without the need for a call contract. We will deliver the prize to the winner with a week of purchase.

    Is there a link from a specific oxfordshire press site?

    I just didn,t fancy this comp at all. It doesn,t seem kosher to set up a website simply to give away a phone
    I,m so stupid that I forgot the mnemonic

    I got an acknowledgement email from Oxfordshire Press for this one with company and named party - looks legit

    Seems to check out ok after comparing details on these two links.

    http://whois.domaintools.com/wintheiphone5.co.uk

    http://www.oxonpress.com/contactus.html

    Both list the same address.

    Up to each of us as it could still be iffy,but well done iffy :-)

    The oxon press site itself doesn't look that legit too.
    I think I'll personally give this one a miss, but like you say, up to each of us!

    sorry to bump but as this is still on the first page oxonpress.com is linked with oxfordshire press who are Simply Prizes magazine and Winners Friend magazine.
    I met one of the staff and Mr. Mutton from the ISP earlier this year during a meeting I was invited to with other fellow compers (We had to do a vote) also two of the oxonpress staff at the Northwest Compers day last year
    As for the spelling mistakes and grammer - I would say we all make mistakes

    I think they were just guessing that there was going to be an iPhone 5.
    If there is a prize, it will be the iPhone 4s

    And as the competition closes "2 months after the release of the iphone 5", we're looking at an end date of at least Feb / Mar 2012. It's supposed to be released Dec in USA, a few months later here in UK.
    Thanks to all posters :A
