Competition Safe Telephone Numbers List

Hi all,

Is there a thread around that lists competition safe telephone numbers? I was thinking this would be a handy resource that everyone could use to add trusted numbers (and importantly names of organisations) to their comping phone so they can see quickly ID if the person calling can be trusted.

This suggestion might have been raised before or it may contravene T&Cs, as a new member I thought I would check in with the veteran members of he board who I'm sure can comment on this subject.

    There is a thread here "How you are informed of wins"

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/526089

    tells you if people have been contacted by email, phone or prize just turns up.

    Phone numbers are not included - with large companies and central switchboards the same number can show for all their calls including sales and wins, winning calls can also come from different numbers within the same company.
    Might break forum rules posting a number if it is not already on a company website.


    (If numbers were listed and you were the first winner to be called from a number you or anyone else using the list would miss out as it would not be on the list at that point)
