    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 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!
    I need to think of something new here...

    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.

    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 feel as if I’m last man standing🤣
    I await my resting email!
    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 🤣🤣

    Spectos do include items we do not receive as did their predecessors.

    Mine is still showing. I started it on 21 August so am in my 4th week but it’s still wanting entries for daily item volumes.

    Both my UA and CD have disappeared, which I finished weeks ago.  I am resting at the moment.  Still be asked to return transponders, which were sent weeks ago.
  • 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.
