I think I know which one it is.... I've had the same picture in 3 UA surveys - a blue leaflet with international flags that seems to promote an exhibition on maps. I haven't seen it - and I'm nerdy enough to have been interested!Money_Grabber13579 said:I think they always add one per week that is a fake item as a control, to make sure that the survey is being completed correctly. So if you only have one item showing per week, it’s likely to be a fake.
I need to think of something new here...0 -
I had that one too. As it appeared a number of times I tried without success to Google the supposed exhibition. So I tend to think those posters who've said Spectos include fake items as a validation process are correct.NBLondon said:

Me too! I've been on the panel since October and I'm still getting plenty of mail to post and no sign of my resting email 🤣🤣fluffig said:
I feel as if I’m last man standing🤣Saetana said:I got my resting email today - apparently my final stamps and presentation pack are "being prepared". I don't mind posting/receiving the letters but will be happy to have a few months break from the parcels. I posted my last bundle today although, judging by what others have said, it may well not be the last one I receive.
I await my resting email!2 -

Like others - my UA which has been running since at least mid July has now vanished. No sign of the points though, I'll give them a week and then start chasing.Debt Free Wannabe by 1 December 2027
