must have been this one.
Couldn't for the life of me remember entering it, so I was a total muddle-head. He asked if I read the mag, and I said no...I asked if I entered through the website, and he said no, email...which threw me (of course, I had to go through the website to enter, duh!)
He then put me on hold for a few seconds, came back and said 'sorry, false-alarm' and swiftly hung up...
...Argh, my heads still spinning...!!!!!! just happened?

Look on the bright side, he may have been trying to flog you a subscription to the magazine ~ which is happening quite a bit. They start off by saying "Did you enter a competition to win...." a bit like the emails congratulations to the winner. They think its a way of stopping you putting the phone down immediately.0

I reckon Furndire's right about it being a sales call cos the closing date was 14 Nov and it says the winner would be notified within 14 days. That is sooo disappointing tho.MASSIVE THANKS TO ALL POSTERS!:happyhear0

Lol, that's so rubbish of them, poor you! I'd report them (are you sure you didn't enter?).0
