    Just opened a tempting looking long white envelope from Spain, only to find it appears to be a scam from Euro Millones in Spain.

    Does anyone know which site this might have come from or is it just a coincidence that I get this after a few weeks of comping?

    the only other thing you can do is a forum search for the words tiebreaker / caption :D

    Could be a coincidence, or some meany selling people's details. I've been doing this since december and not had a massive increase in junk mail or spoof email - pretty much the same really :) And am registered with all the mail & phone preference services going (free ones) :)

    Blimey, I've been away for a few days and have 21 pages that I haven't checked.

    Will I ever catch up?

    Dare I go away for a week ............ or a fortnight? :huh:

    This is new territory for me and it's scary, very very scary. :eek:
