I'm not 100% sure that this is the right board, but I wanted to know whether anybody has any experience of entering competitions through myoffers.co.uk? The questions they ask seem a bit weird.

    They are on the MSE Comp Guide spam list.

    I will pm a Bg to move this to chat.

    11 Are there any sites, from experience, which are likely to generate lots of spam?
    There are a few which have come to our collective attention as sites that, when used for comps, seem to generate lots of unwanted postal, email & phone call attention. These are listed below for your information, however, please do remember that this is only the collective opinion of other MSE Compers & does not necessarily reflect upon the sites themselves.

    I did myoffers daily for years and never won anything at all.
    I checked the winners list once and saw that the vast majority of winners were from London and I emailed them about this but they never even responded.

    What a shame.
    Spent last few days doing competitions on this site.
    Well, seems like is all going down the drain.

    I would advise just entering via MSE threads.No sign of MY Offers on here plus you can use the MSE functionality to track your entries.

    Just entering randomly across the 'net is a sure way of duping entries unless you are very good at record keeping.Plus lots of sites are not what they seem :-)

    I won a £500 Zara voucher and my mum won an Ipad; both sent fine. However, I haven't won anything since - think the fact we won similar priced prizes so early on perhaps is a bit suspicious.
