    There is a small ambiguity over the closing date-

    The t&cs state competition entries must be made by 1st April, but on the competition entry form it says the entry deadline is 4th April.

    Their T&C's are all over the place but anyone of a suspicious nature might think they were doing it to save themselves a grand as they don't necessarily choose another winner depending on the part of the T&C's they stick to
    In the event that any entrant is disqualified from the competition, Anna Lizzio in its sole discretion may decide whether a replacement should be selected

    hi guys tel this morning but couldn't get to speak to any one about the matter but have just received the following e mail
    I haven't had any email replying to my email unfortunately Diane till this one nor with a contact telephone number. Our competition has had to close due to a terrible fraudulent campaign and the police are now involved. This is the reason I had to ask you to reply the same day when I emailed - Tuesday 12th April to which you didn't therefore making us assume this email address was yet another fraudulent email.
    Sure you can understand.
    Thanks, Amy,

    I've heard a few lies over the years but this one is a whopper!
    I'd definitely be taking this further

    Do they have a Facebook page? When they use the word Police it seems to me they are trying to get out of giving the prize away and hope that that word will scare you off. DO NOT GIVE UP. If it was me i would email them back and say your taking the matter further and will be posting about this on public forums for advice and also naming the company. That is a companies worst night mare! I would also point out that you are happy to chat with the police in order to get your prize. Good luck and keep us updated.
