LadyMorticia

For some reason the name rings a bell and I'm not sure why!

I wouldn't boast about my wins in a national newspaper. This may just be my opinion but I find it a bit distasteful to boast so much, and did she honestly move to a bigger property to accommodate all of her wins?!

Something just doesn't seem right to me.

The thing that worries me most about this story is the fact that her name doesn't stand out as being a regular on winners lists - In fact if you search her name + winner, nothing much comes up at all!

It does with me too but she isn't listed on the winners groups on FB that i'm with and apart from here I don't know of any other compers?

The name rang a bell with me too, but can't find anything on here. It's possible I might've read something on FB ...

I think the name rang a bell from FB too, but I'm not sure in what context.

It all just seems a little strange that Googling her name and "congratulations" or "winner", isn't being very fruitful.

She chose to go to the papers with her story though!

Unlikely she's an MSE'r, the story states that she spends every morning "scouring" the internet, magazines and packaging for competitions, and hunting for competitions of an evening. If she was on here she would realise that most (if not all!) of the comps are on here and no scouring is needed!

Also remember as this is a "Newspaper" story how much of this has been enhanced, fabricated, sensationalised as journalists like to do?

Her name also rings a bell with me but I cannot recall where from.

I have a FB friend who enters for anything and everything and I am sure he/she does not realise what they are doing as they occasionally have the little rant about people entering for stuff they do no need I have seen like and shares for this person for horse blankets, cat food, baby stuff and wedding stationery and I know for a fact they do not have pets, are married and no children in their family! I am often so tempted to ask why on earth they are sharing these comps but would never bring myself to do that. I think for some people they just have to win no matter what the prize is and then boast "5 wins today". Yeah, 5 wins of absolute rubbish that you can never use!

Personally, I would rather invest my valuable and little time I have available for comps in entering for prizes I want and will use.
