  • Poor froggy! I have often wondered whether this may happen to me. I really hope they call you back. Please let us know if they do. And have a little look at your signature.....it's great advice to yourself!

    I have had 2 phone calls from Emap this week, both about different magazine subscriptions (60p for 6 issues of Web magazine, and £1 for 3 issues of Style magazine) both said they got my details from competitions i had entered!!!

    Yes, I've had a couple of calls about subscriptions too, so it could have been that. Better to think you've missed a sales call than a comp win :)

    Whenever I've run a competition, we wouldn't "go on to the next person" unless the winner was definitely beyond contact. Mind you, I would definitely have left a message as well!

    Sounds like subscriptions to me...

  • It's sods law isn't it? Whenever I'm waiting for a delivery I stay in all day only run to school & back leaving a note with my mobile when I do & lo & behold they always come at about 7pm!!! With some excuse about traffic, this happened with my Sofa & my TV.
    I have also had mag subscription calls this week, I'm sure they'll call back:D
