Looks very iffy to me, I think I'll give it a miss.

Competition being run by a data gathering company and their privacy policy is quite frankly frightening:

Hi,as per your earlier post .........

& here

Hi,Spry

Thanks for the comp but it is owned by LBM Marketing.Personally I doubt that the prize exists & the comp is just a data gathering tool.
Domain name:
ukprize.co.uk

Registrant:
LBM Direct Marketing Ltd

I see it as spam .
link changes to : http://www.ukprize.co.uk/Competitions/287/1000-Petrol-Competition.html?t=tap-Petrol_subid=AP_123-534-285213
We've done pretty well over the years & these type of comps do not appear very often.
Just curious as to why you are so motivated to post these ,with changing links,when there are so many other legit' sites to post from.

Spry

Oh right.... Another member had a list of competitions that have bad privacy poilcies, didnt realise this was one of them lol

It's the same company isn't it ?

Spry

Yeah looks like it but just a different URL. I got it from an email that was sent to me today, seemed genuine and all.

No problem.On comps where the URL changes it's generally better to post both URL's for clarity & to aid dupe searching.

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.
