11 Are there any sites, from experience, which are likely to generate lots of spam?
There are a few which have come to our collective attention as sites that, when used for comps, seem to generate lots of unwanted postal, email & phone call attention. These are listed below for your information, however, please do remember that this is only the collective opinion of other MSE Compers & does not necessarily reflect upon the sites themselves.

Hi,welcome to MSE comps.
Personally I would leave My Offers well alone.They are on the MSE comps spam list.
I'd just follow the links given on here & if you find a comp,search it on here & post it for all to enter.
There all are lots of spam/dodgy sites on the 'net but MSE users tend either not to post them or shout when they are posted.
Good luck :-)

Hi just wondering if anyone has been collecting the Daily Mail lucky wallet tokens to win a guaranteed prize? Today is the final prize token so I am going to post off my card and was going to send it recorded delivery but just noticed it's a PO box address. Do you think it will be ok to send recorded or should I just send normal post and hope it gets there?
Thanks

Just in the last few weeks comp sites :

Brandosa,Folio,Nisa,Company & a few more have resorted to captcha on theirs sites,they must of been receiving a lot of automated enteries from the subscription sites,hopefully we stand a better chance of winning now.
