can anyone shed some light on a maybe?? comp win.

I have recieved a phone call this tea time,asking my name then verifying this,the lady went on to say ohh you entered a baby comp to win,and then the phone cut off (my end,Im now charging the thing).i got reconnected in enough time to tell her my phone needs charging.
What im wondering is,are they gonna phone back,are they even likely to phone me tomorrow maybe,im gutted really cus ive never won anything.
Im just curious as to what it might be.
but i dont wanna get my hopes up if anyone of you msn'ers think they wont ring again.Please put me out of my misery and tell me what you think.:confused: .

    Don't worry! I'm sure they will ring back! or they might just send you the prize in the post now they have verified you entered.

    Hi Helen. Do you know what their number was? If it was 02074309440 then it was My Child who do occasionally have winners but are more often out there making an awful lot of sales call (see this link).:rolleyes:

    But hopefully it wasn't them and you have a great prize on its way! :D
    MASSIVE THANKS TO ALL POSTERS!:happyhear

    Hi

    I had a call at tea time too. She asked if I'd entered a baby comp and then said she was offering a free 10 day trial! It was for a key stages 1 maths something or other.

    Hope it was a differnt call for you & you've won something!

    Hi there, I had a call from My Child as well today. I only entered one or two of their comps and stopped when I got a rude call, I haven't entered one of them for ages - BUT still they're phoning me! Fingers crossed it's someone else that's looking for you.

    recieved my return call this morning.And as all suggested it was my child trying to sell me cd roms.
    I declined the offer to have them on trail,without her even getting to pay the money bit.
    She sounded a bit peeved and asked why i didnt want them,i replied,i dont want to take the offer up thank-you.
    i really didnt give her a chance to ask me anything else.

    Thankyou to everyone who informed me well in the first place as she would av caught me off-guard otherwise.
    Just read a massive thread on this now as well,and ill await my nuisence phone calls like everyone else:D .
