    Yeh, I'll give them a miss from now on!

    She also tried telling my that my 11 year old Grand daughter was doing her sats this May, when she did them last year and that she would find them really useful:rolleyes:

    Yep, we got a phone call - again - yesterday - Sunday! Can't they leave us alone?!!! I haven't purposely entered my phone number on any comps I enter with them now, but they still find me! Pain in posterior these people are. They start off so friendly too, I don't want to know them.
    Thank you to everyone who posts comps! :A
    I would like to be lucky,healthy & happy in 2020! :T
  • I haven't even entered this comp and the same woman phoned me on both my mobile and home number today (Both times I've said I'm not interested) :mad: :mad:

    I kept asking where they'd got my details from and they kept saying my comp entry but I know I haven't entered it because of the hassle other MSEr's have had in the past. So I don't know :confused::confused:

    Yep me too - from a ldy that talked at a speed of a hundred miles an hour so that I missed all the bits that I needed to know!

    Luckily I saw this thread earlier so I was prepared!!!!

    I kept interrupting her asking exactly which prize i won (the maths tuition she said - I said but I didn't enter one for that!) I told her I read it was a con online as in the future I would be asked to pay £80 and she was like "no no not today " etc,

    Quite funny! Will probably avoid I think, as I'm sure I only entered last night!!!

    I await more phonecalls....... lol

    I missed a call on my mobile (the one I use for competitions only). I put the phone number into this website
    and realised it was them. Then later in the evening I received a call on my home number from them. I just told them I wasn't interested and the lady was quite polite and said she would take my details off their list. Let's wait and see. :rolleyes:

    Update: Yet another call from them (after only 1 day). This time they hung up on me! :mad:
