    Phew, glad I missed that comp then. Think I'll make a note and give that site a wide berth in future. :rolleyes:

    I've had a missed call from that number - I googled it and found that a lot of other people had problems with the site.

    I didn't enter the maths comp either.

    It was number-withheld - but the lady who I spoke to gave me her name & number and it was an 0845 number.

    awww don't feel bad at all - you didn't know they would do this & like you say, people who didn't enter have been called too so don't think that it's your fault!! ;)
