    People don't want to mention their name beause theya re a very respected company who have specifically asked their members not to mention them on here by name?

    Well said PG! This question comes up each time someone alerts about them. Do people not bother reading this thread? The name of the said company has been outed about 3 times over the last few weeks. Do a bit of your own research and you will find the answers, we all had to do that too!

    I'm assuming someone told you who they were.

    If anyone feels like sharing, PM me please :)

    How rude!

    I have read most of this thread and perhaps I'm being stupid but nope, I don't know who it is. The only one I had heard of "not" being mentioned WAS Assosia.

    What? You mean someone else has a day off is on the prowl for visits by constantly clicking on the various websites? Hmmm, maybe. Doubt it though!!!

    Did anyone else notice that as soon as you pick up the phone shop on GFK, all the others disappear? Me thinks it's alerting for more of these phone shops, but they obviously have disappeared since I have already picked one.

    I have picked up 4 GFK phone shops for the 'business phone' people - is it these?

    No I knew who they were because they never used to bother with people talking about them on here and I was on the thread when the people who primarily work for them stated that they had been told they no longer wanted their name mentioned.

    Really? So why is everyone scared of mentioning them then? Or at least that's the impression I got.

    And will the real Slim Shady please stand up?

    The company you named do not like to be mentioned, this is true, but was not the company described in the alerts thread.

    The company "who shall no longer be named" asked it's members specifically not to speak of them and what they do, hence the code. Obviously as seen by the posts, the members (and hopeful ones) therfor do not name them. But those who already know who they are can make use of the alert.
    I get what i want. That isn't because i'm a brat or spoilt. It's because i'm determined, i work hard for it and i achieve my goals!

    I'm talking about the ones where they tie you to the seat and don't let you out unless you buy the deal. LOL. I'm just hoping they don't recognise me again. It's awkward when they say "Didn't you come looking for a Blackberry like 6 months ago?" Eeeeek!

    Drea, it's a mystery dining company. It's cafe's, restaurants, hotels and what have you. Stuff I'm not bothered with so haven't searched them out.

    I have to pop out now, but I'll give you a hand later on. Start Googling 'mystery dining' and see what comes up.

    There's three that people are afraid of putting names to, Assosia, this mystery dining one, and another one. The last one must be REALLY scary 'cos I haven't got a clue. Woooooo.
