Competitions Discussion Thread Part 16

I have got a few of DD's Dr Who mags to list on here, I am so sorry I haven't done these for a while but been so busy with work & family I haven't had chance.

It has come to my attention that some BBC magazines, I know of DWA & Girl Talk so far but there is others, have changed the T&C's to only allowing one entry per HOUSEHOLD wheras before they were one per PERSON which meant you could enter each child seperatley (as long as they had different email addresses) It also now says it will disqualify anyone who doesn't abide by this rule & anyone who enters for someone else (i.e an adult entering for a young child)

Can people please check other children's magazines for the T&C's, on DWA it's number 6 on the list not sure with Girl Talk which number this is. Match Of The Day I think is a BBC one? I can't seem to find a list online at the moment so don't know which is included.

National Geographic Kids is NOT BBC but if someone could check the T&C's with this as well just to be sure please?

If it's one child per household, that's fine but does the quote above mean if my son enters it using my email address (even though he's entered it himself)? Not sure I want my young kids to have their own email accounts what with all the viagra emails regularly sent out etc

Thanks

I don't know sorry, my kids both have there own email address which are attached to my own & in the number of years they have had them I had no spam emails at all come through to them. This is with O2, not sure if other providers can do this?

Personally I would think it would be ok, I mean how can they know if it's you that's sent it or a child purely from the email address? There must be loads of kids that don't have their own email address so use parents etc????

I hate to say this but it's like the kids ITV comps all over again, these were stopped because they couldn't tell if it was a child or adult entering them. I have noticed a massive decline in kids comps lately, I just hope we don't lose anymore.

Hi Everyone, just wondering if theres and facebookers out there that could help me please! Ive been entering all these like and share comps for a while now and today I went on a page and noticed when I go back to the page wall and click newest posts by everyone my share isnt showing but its showing on my profile page! I then borrowed the partners laptop he doesnt do facebook so I just went on the page without logging in and under the comp post where Id put a comment my name is blacked out. Ive been right through my privacy setting set everything I can to public and when I click share I click to public but that hasnt helped! Anyone got any ideas please?

Thanks in advance

My 13 year old daughter came into my room crying this morning' dads going to kill me'.....she had received a message from Virgin stating she was getting near her limit (£50, unfortunately they wont do it for less) The contract is £10.21 pm. My daughter is sensible and sticks to the limit. However when I checked her itemised bill on line a premium text number 700144124 was recieved many times at £2 a time. Virgin stated that it wasnt their problem and I need to track down the company. It was a competition site and according to the company my daughter had entered a competition to win an apple computer, and had not unchecked the box that offered updated texts (at a premium of £2, 4 times a day)...so to parents out there or even adults check your allowance everyday online before your robbed....my daughter had been charged £32, one guy I read on line had £144...

I think that happened to me before too.I unwittingly subscribed to some automatic monthly lottery entry were I got charged 1.50 per entry.The problem seems to have gone away but I don't think you should be tricked into something like that on the internet you should at least have to confirm it through your handset.

Can I just tell you all about a phone call I had a few minutes ago. I had entered for a free copy of Marie Claire Magazine. A man phoned me and confirmed my details for sending out the free copy. He also said we can give you 2 further magazines for a £1. I asked him how I would pay £1 and he asked for my Bank details. I told him I would not give my Bank details over the phone. He said thats ok we will send you out your free copy and hung up. Just to let you know in advance incase you get the same phone call.
