Has anybody had a telesales call from PC Pro or have I won a prize?

I had a call from PC pro..... went something like ''Hi im calling from PC pro you entered a competition in october you will be glad to hear that you have made the shortlist for the top prize so could still win that, you have definitely won a runners up prize and we would like to offer you three copies of pc for a £1"

The only comp I can find with runners up prizes is:

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=557565&highlight=pcpro

So how many of you have had this call? I dont know if he meant that my runners up prize was three no obligation issues for a £1 or if I am a runner up AND can get three issues for a £1.

I have asked him to call me later, but as there is five runners up prizes I want to know how many other people have had this sales pitch? If its nobody then I will assume I have, if its loads of you then I will assume I havent.

Thanks.

    I often get the 3 copies for a £1 call, but its usually from IPC

    it's been weeks since 28/10 when that comp closed (were you entering comps that far back?) so either they are very slow (very likely lol) or it's maybe another comp

    ...where the runner up prize is 3 PC mags for £1.....

    ..lol kidding apart I hope that you won the el supremo prize
