I have seen a competition locally, to win 'a diamond worth £1,500'.. it has been mentioned on several sites..
only when you read the tiny terms, does it mention you HAVE to get it fitted into a commissioned piece made by them, at a MINIMUM cost to the winner of £600..
Thats quite a layout, to get any 'prize', dont you think?
update- just looking for the link, they have now changed it to..
'Win a diamond (no value mentioned)..
The lucky prize winner will receive a beautiful and sparkling half a carat diamond (RBC 0.50ct) – all they need to pay for is the piece of jewellery it is mounted in.

I think this has been posted here several times but removed because £600 is way above the spend limit for comps.2009 Wins = £833
2010 Wins = £6,597
2011 Wins = £7,083
£2,012 in 2012 = £450/£2,012
20 in 2012 = 4/200 -
was not asking on MSE rules, but comps in general..
a sneaky way to get a mailing list, i think.. interesting to see what ASA have to say about it.Long time away from MSE, been dealing real life stuff..
