Magazine comps!

Has anyone ever had a phonecall on their mobile from Marie Claire or Yours magazine? They have both called me thanking me for entering their competition.....Then they go on to say that I haven't won and ask me to subscribe to their magazine. I got all excited thinking I'd won something :rotfl:

    I've just had one of those calls too, from Great Comps and Yours magazine, I think. Was understanding and friendly when I said no, and wished my a good evening.

    Oh I'll be furious if they do that to me :eek: I hate getting emails telling me that I haven't won too - there's really no need for it, why can't they just let me dream on :rolleyes:
