Anyone else had a win notification from bay trust or bay cove radio?

GHolmesAdmin

My alarm bells are ringing, first, it was sent at 5:35 AM this morning, does not say what I have won, and I cannot find the comp posted anywhere, it does not address me by my name. And there are two typos... any thoughts?

Never heard of this one but you could check and see if you entered on Facebook at:

facebook leads to an on line form https://www.baytrustradio.org.uk/win, so they would have your email, comp was called 12 days of Christmas so I'd take it as a valid win - Congratulations

you could always contact them via their web page to confirm

comp wasn't posted on here but presumably it's local to you - covering Lancashire and Cumbria

Kinda looks legit, depends I guess if you have any knowledge of Bay Trust Radio, or have ever even heard of them?

To me, it looks fine. They're not asking for any details that would cause alarm bells to ring.

How were you notified, I'm guessing an email? ... What's the address the email came from?

Here's the facebook post, Did you like and share this?

Have you seen this site before?

If you're still unsure you could just send them a msg on the Facebook or an email to the site above.

I got one, did you contact them? I replied to the email so I hope its not scammy, it doesn’t say what the prizes are...maybe a sticker or pencil!!! Hmmmm I suppose I will wait and see lol

GHolmesAdmin

I replied with my address but not my phone no. and said no to the interview.

So... we can sit back and await our single biscuit shaped like a Christmas tree or nothing.

Ha ha that sounds better than a sticker! I also said no to the interview

GHolmesAdmin

No prize yet so I sent my polite chaser message to this one today, somewhat earlier than I normally would but I'm still not convinced it's legit. I asked them to let me know what I should be looking out for.

Did you get a response? I got a message this afternoon saying, sorry for the delay, they are still waiting for winners to respond before drawing prizes....???? Not sure why they need all winners to respond before they can draw my prize! Anyway, hope something turns up eventually

GHolmesAdmin

Hi,
We are still awaiting other winners to reply before we can make the draw of the prizes as soon as possible that we get the reply’s we will then send out the prizes.
Sorry it’s taking its time but we will get it sorted out
Kind Regards

Yes, I got the same reply but it doesn't wash, there is no reason to withhold the prizes from those who have responded and in any case who waits three weeks to respond to a WEM. We just need to allow a little bit more time pass before pointing that out in a more formal manner and then mentioning the ASA.

It is a real Radio Station

They did run an Advent Comp

They told you you have won a prize

Most of us on here win so little so lets try to be optimistic :j

Looking at the amount of entries I wish I had entered, if I had I won I would definitely have said YES to the interview, just a sneaky feeling they will get the better prizes

I hope you both get something nice
