    I had a text today as follows
    "FREE: A competition u entered has now been voided. We are refunding all entries. 2receive your refund (£2 per entry) text REFUND space name and address to 88088."
    which I did and got the following;
    "Thanks. We will process your refund and send out a cheque. Thanks for your patience."
    When I got home from work goggled the text number and the top hit related to MoburokChat for sexy singles- I have never had dealings with this chat line= although found it vaguely amusing-but I seem to have been charged a further £1 for responding to the text. I await my cheque including the extra £1.

    88088 is also quoted as a txt number for giving up smoking used by many NHS Trusts eg text SEARCH and your postcode to 88088 or search online at nhs.uk/smokefree - example - http://www.southwestyorkshire.nhs.uk/news/media/media-releases/?i=801

    I got the same text. I checked my messages and I have a text from 88088 from last month confirming I have been unsubscribed from all services on 86660, which led me to 2 text comps I entered in Jan and Feb, one in the Express and one in the Star. I'll await my cheque with interest (no pun intended)! :rotfl:
    Love all, trust a few. Do wrong to none.

    Had a confirmation txt from this comp offering an extra entry and to include full name, address and postcode. Didn't include it as not indicated on op, but hope it will be accepted anyway. :o

    Thanks for posting everyone! :)

    In the T&Cs it does not ask for the name and address to be added to text, only asks for the answer.
    regards Jambo
    I do it just for fun and whatever I win is a bonus
