:rolleyes: yer right, did anyone else see the phenonomen of the man in the moon last night, he was there, but the clouds covered him up. If I thought it wasn't a premium pay number or anyway that they could charge, I might suggest that people bombarded the emails and phone numbers with calls :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I'm really surprised they didn't add a clause on to keep this confidential.

    That's what so sickening though ~ especially if you enter a lot of comps. I wish there was some way of tracking where they came from.

    My nan, no matter how much to tell her, thinks that the scratch cards in magazines are real and pays money to claim the prize. Shes only in her 50s but due to a brain op a few years ago she seems to be a tad forgetful. She also got conned when there was an ebay/ paypal scam a few years back. Luckily she didnt get hit too bad, but I'm sure there were many who did.
