does anyone win on offers.co.uk?

Hi,


I know they probably generate a lot of spam if you are not careful as there are loads of tick boxes! I just would like to know if anyone wins? they have a lot of tempting competitions!


Thanks

Hi, do you mean MyOffers ?

If so I have never won on them.
Then again I have never entered one of their comps as I view the site as a pure spam machine.
I just enter via posted thread on MSE Comps.There are enough here to keep me ticking over without touching the likes of MyOffers with my comping bargepole.

They are also on the MSE Spam list,with good reason.

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.

Bit of info on Myoffers and Get me a ticket,


No reason to doubt that they award the prizes (although there is little chance of winning a big one) as it's very low cost to them for the information gathered.

Both sites rent/sell data it's how they make their money and the bits below are from their sales pitches (both claim opt-in or double-opt in for marketing).

GMAT are part of a group that has access to 2.4 million active e-mail addresses.

MO alone has 2.7 million registered users and the parent group has "3 million unique email addresses and 7.3 million household postal prospects. We also offer 1.7 million recently validated SMS records - the largest file of its type in the UK - and 1.4 million landline telephone numbers".
