Lippy Bingo Scam

Now I don't usually do this, but I am sick of these scamming 'scratchcards' that are actually adverts that you seem to get in every magazine and now they have started being sent to me in letters!
Lippy bingo have a "scratchcard" that asks you what is in your purse, you scratch off one part that tells you "top prize £1000" and a personal code BBC122.
Because of the way they word it people think they have won £1000, so I thought I would try and see how open and honest they are.
I went to the help chat room and asked for the number of winners and prize amounts that had been given in this competition.
The online help person "#Crystal#" told me she couldn't give members information. I did not ask for members information, just details gambling sites should be able to give out.
I asked who I could contact to get this information and she replied that the site managers could - but she didn't know their contact details. So I asked for her managers details - to be told that it was none of my business.
Why are gambling sites allowed to get away with such sloppy behaviour???

Do not look at bingo as gambling...It's a game you are supposed to enjoy playing and pay dearly for the privilege of playing.:footie:
Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S)
Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money.
