Competitions Discussion Thread Part 5

afur

Has anyone used this site before, a friend of mine recommended it and i signed up but a lot of the competitions want me to enter phone numbers etc, i can enter a false number but will this prevent me from winning.

has anybody ever won anything from this site and is it worth continuing with it in the hope that i eventually win something???

Stay away from it.

Massive spam site. There is a thread around listing bad sites. I will try and find it

I used to get loads of spam from this site. Luckily I don't anymore, but I avoid any competitions that involve "My Offers"

Yup I sadly signed up to My Offers about 2 years ago, I haven't touched it in a year and a half, but I still get about 20 spam in my inbox each and everyday

I would have said that if it has online or email entry then it should be on the main board and anything else on the magazine? Thats just what I assumed though?

Thanks for that - and the hints about the buddy list.

So, if it is text entry only, should it be in the magazine thread?

Anyone else getting return messages saying?

The following message to [EMAIL="competitions@cpcmovies.co.uk"]competitions@cpcmovies.co.uk[/EMAIL] was undeliverable.
The reason for the problem:
5.4.7 - Delivery expired (message too old) [Default] 451-'Requested action aborted: local error in processing (code: 11)'<COMPETITIONS@ cpcmovies.co.uk=""><COMPETITIONS@CPCMOVIES.CO.UK></COMPETITIONS@CPCMOVIES.CO.UK></COMPETITIONS@>

I got that too and the Blackwell online one aswell, and quite a few others that day, first postmaster said delayed, then undeliverable maybe we broke a few websites mass mailing them:rolleyes:

I dont know to be honest. The title of that thread is postal, magazine thread as if its non-email/web? I dont know really - whether the thread could have text added to the title or whether text ones are meant to go in the main section?
