Hi all,
Probably not the best place to post but you guys seem so friendly here.
This evening about 10 i was just checking my emails and saw an email from about an competition to win £250 worth of delivery from an popular site. I answered the five or so basic questions then it asked for my number as i press enter i noticed the small print right underneath but it was too late. it said i was about having to be 18 and £4.50 per week for the subscription for this smart quiz service. The next part was they sent me a pin and i had to enter it and again it had that disclaimer about age and £4.50 a week. I immediately got off the page. I'm now unsure if im signed up for this weekly quiz service. i tried texting stop to the number it gave but message fail. ive forward on the email i clicked on to the customer service email to say if im registered please cancel but im still worried. feel like an idiot.
