Spammy caller

Options
Has anyone else had a call from a mobile number saying you'd entered a competition to win a mini or £10000, not to get excited as they've not had the draw but would you be interested in reducing your bills?

Just wondered which comp they got my phone number from as I'm usually careful to select no contact. Can't find any I've entered that has a Mini as a prize.

    Aaaah....that's it, lol. Guess I'm not that careful. Ah well looks like I can look forward to their calls for a while. Thanks - I couldn't find it when I put mini into the search.

    Many competitions open for 6 months plus are spammy and it's certainly worth checking them out before entering especially if they want much more than just an e-mail address.
  • Hi Lilaclion, do you still have the number that rang you? Just I entered as well (early days) and have recently started receiving calls from an unidentified source (I can't tell what they are saying at first so cut them off) thought it may help to see if it's the same number.
  • Honestly I looked at this competition and thought "scam"... I bet the prize doesn't materialise.
