Hi,

Just wondering has anyone ever get calls from no caller ID numbers and iactually t's from competitions you've done before and won? I never answer calls on my mobile that come up as 'no caller ID' as I think it's gona be from cold callers or some nuisance calls, but as I'm doing alot of competitons I'm just wondering if companies that do the competitions will actually call from no caller ID number. Been getting few of these but they never leave a voicemail so I am it is cold callers and surely if it is from competitions will they try email you if you don't pick up or leave a message for you to contact them, don't want to miss my chance if they are ever from competitions? Would they just try you once & if they can't get hold of you move onto the next winner? Wondering if it's worth answering these no caller id's or to just ignore them (just in case) then wait until they email or leave a voicemail (if it is from competions)?

    hon its up to you whether you answer or not if you dont trust it then dont whether prize or not dont worry I would say if it is genuine they will contact you on e/mail but then again there are those that say maybe so you have to watch out dont assume

    another thing I would say if you have given e/mail and address genuine comps will send but you may get spam with e/mail please check boards on here also board guides they will guide you there are loads of good ones

    I have received a no caller ID call every day this week....get all excited, then they hang up without saying anything. Probably looked like a maniac shouting obscenities at my phone in view of my colleagues....haha
    Thanks to all those fab compers who post:j:T
