  • it wont have been through Pigsback...its a timeshare/vacation club company...they usually get your info from street surveys, or just junk mail saying "you have won a competition, please ring such and such number"..

    Its not a prize, they will ask you to pay so much up front....a few hundred £££, they make it seem like you are getting a really cheap holiday, but once you are there you will be subjected to hard sell presentations to buy their product.


    I too had this letter recorded delivery delivered Friday new it was a con when I looked on their website

    Come, come, itsbeef - Descartes and dear fg aren't in the same league - the key advantage Descartes has is that he has reversed the ageing process!

    Unbelievable but true - and just for you, itsbeef, I have the proof.

    Back in this post from 15/09/2005 he was 19:

    Please, please don't ever knock a man of such breathtaking abilities again! :)

    Let's say nothing of the house with no mortgage he owns at that tender age - not bad for someone who hasn't even finished their final year yet at Warwick University. ;)
  • I have searched and found out where this timeshare scam came from and it was pigsback I signed up for Get Me a Quiz and it is linked to Getmea Ticket which is where the competitons came from see below email received

    Make your own Pot Noodles using a flower pot, sawdust and some old shoe laces. Pour in boiling water, stir then allow to stand for two minutes before taking one mouthful, and throwing away. Just like the real thing!

    It is not against Pigsback rules to join in another country so why shouldn't they benefit as much as you do from Pigsback?

    If its not against Pigsbacks rules to join from other countries...why is there only UK, Ireland and Northern Ireland options available in the Countries drop down box on the registration page.

    They must say they live in one of those 3 places.

    When did you sign up to audible?

    You have to input your address, & Trier says he'she has contacted PB so how is he/she trying to defraud PB? GET A LIFE Descartes, there are more important things to worry about, unless you're one of those charmed people who have no worries!! Live & let live, I say!!
