First I would speak to Police could be a stoklen car parked up to see if there is a Tracker on it. No company in their right mind would just leave a car surely.

Hi all,

Does anyone know of any competitions where the prize was a brand new Audi A5?

Two days ago this Audi was delivered to a small village where I stay looking for a man who doesn't exist!

..well thats what you get if you enter fake details in a comp. :rotfl:

I used to do comps 10 years ago online, then I switched jobs and didn't do it anymore as I had less time. Back then not as many people did competitions online or had the internet at home, and I won every single month several wins, decent wins from holidays abroad to shopping vouchers.

Looking now so many people seem to be doing it, and alot of comps seem to want to you be a member of facebook which I wont do, I hate social networking and value my privacy.

Is it worth doing if I dont want to do social networking and would I win as much as I used to. I probably did around 50 comps a day at my peak.

Hi, I'm fairly new to comping and noticed that a fair few require FB to enter. I also don't like having a facebook, but have made a comping only one - with a shortened version of my name so no-one I know will add or talk to me!
That may work for you?

I only started back in feb and have had a few good wins but it is hard going tbh as so so many people seem to enter for everything and anything whereas I am one that enters for what I want or my family may want. There are a lot of FB ones which I do some of but try not to do too many and avoid certain ones as there seem to be a lot of people on there who open many accounts and 'cheat' as it were.

I say you gotta be in it to win it so if you have the time then go for it!!

Enjoy

I have to agree with this. There are times I enter a competition, and the prize it a little unusual and something I would *really* love, and it's really disheartening to know that hundreds of other people are entering the competition just for the sake of it, even though it's not something they would ever want.

Like you, I only enter comps for things that I or my family would enjoy.
