Please move this if its in the wrong place - since beginning of jan I have been entering into comps on internet, filling in all my house/tel no. details. using loquax. I received a telephone call this morning at 4.30am - it was the automated reverse charge phone call asking if I would accept a reverse charge phone call…

Some competitions say you have to respond by a certain amount of time and they want to speak to you in person rather than to an answering machine. They usually try for about a week and then offer it to the second person.
