Have I just won an Iphone 5c?

I hope this is a win - it could be. I have had numerous wins just turn up out of the blue (not all high value). The most valuable was several years ago - an XBOX360 - with no note. I did manage to trace it to a win from Toxic Magazine as the game that came bundled with it was the only comp running for that prize.

Okay,

So I phoned Apple Online after a few of you were saying it could be scam. The guy told me the company's name that the phone was purchased by and it's D.C Thomson & Co Ltd who according to their website are one of the leading media organisations in the UK. Some of the companies they work with are:

The Sunday Post
The Beano
The Weekly News

So, I have entered comps from all of these recently and the guy from Apple said it was a genuine sale, so to whoever posted the comp THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Sorry I can't thank you personally.

I'm so happy, i'm going to start using my new phone!!!!

I googled earlier and there is a Gayle Anderson on Linkedin, who works for DC Thomson: http://uk.linkedin.com/pub/gayle-anderson/3a/70a/282 (I dismissed it because her role didn't seem like she was in the PR / promotions side of things)

Congrats on your win

Well it does but it's just for the deliver company. The phone came directly from the Apple store by the looks of it and the bill was sent to a Gayle Anderson.

I know it shouldn't bother me but it really is bugging me which competition it was from!! I want to be able to thank someone!!! :D

I recently won a MacBook with the Sunday Post (text comp) and it also came directly from Apple with Gayle Anderson named on the invoice. The only different was I received a letter from Sunday post telling me I had won on the day the item was dispatched.
Hth

Great win!

I'm very glad it was real, congratulations! Enjoy your awesome prize


I don't blame you checking it out and being wary.


I was the victim of one of those scams when someone got my credit card info (from one of the three places I had used it online, ever!). They used someone else's card and name to pay for it but my address details to deliver it.
I knew it was a scam and reported it. Also the man who called claiming to be the courier collecting a mis-delivery could barely speak English. I just claimed it had already been collected.
Everything was sorted out fairly easily and I ended up sending the phone back - they didn't seem that interested in recovering their property but having it in the house gave me the heebie-jeebies.
