RockFM 3

I received an email from ROCKFM3 saying I had won a dvd on 1st of August I filled out my details and was then told I qualified and could expect to receive my prize in 28 days. Here we are a month later no prize. Is this a scam doing daily clicks? does seem rather too easy

  • Don't worry it will arrive eventually, I and many others here win with these sites all the time. Prizes can often be very late, I have had to wait up to 3 months for a prize from the C2W sites a couple of years ago, a wait of 6 weeks or more isn't uncommon but sometimes they can be very quick, not often though.
  • Thank you Ive only been doing competitions since April so still new to it all :)

    Do you contact them when they're late? I've been waiting about 5-6 weeks for my prize atm. There was an e-mail address to contact for queries which I recently did to just ask if they had any news on it but no reply so far.

  • I have done in the past and it does take a while for a reply too, if you don't get a reply in a few days try again. In July I only got a DVD which I won in April, that gives you an idea how long it takes them sometimes. On other occasions they have sent out straight away and I had it within a couple of days, but that isn't the norm. I am currently waiting for two prizes but it has only been three weeks so far for oldest one and just a few days for the other.

    The timescales vary a lot probably because the prizes come direct from the promoters/suppliers rather than C2W themselves.
  • Well, one of my prizes (DVD) which I won only 4 days ago arrived this morning, the other one (Intempo Sound Bundle) which I won on the 11th of August still hasn't arrived. Just goes to show how much it varies with the C2W sites. Hope you get yours soon.

    I got a reply at least saying there had been a delay and it should arrive soon. Won mine late July so it does vary a lot.
