I just recieved an sms message telling me i have won a Toyota Klugger or $50,000 cash and to click on the included link to claim. When I click on the link it takes me to a page that asks me to phone a 1900 number to collect. Problem i have is my Telco blocks all 1900 phone calls. What should i do about contacting the promotor unless it us a hoax.

Looks like it might be a money making scam, any other details on the page?, calling a 1900 number will charge you a fee (here is a extract from the net). A legit company would call or email you for such a large prize I'm sure! .....

" A 1900 or 1902 number has a 'tariff' attached and you will be charged the amount set for this service. These tariffs can be 'timed' (per minute), or they can be 'fixed' (per call). The format for these numbers will be 1900 XXX XXX or 19 XX XX.

We don't set the costs for calling these numbers, but rather the owner or provider of these numbers does and on-passes these costs.

Before you call a 1900 or 1902 number, make sure that you know how much it will cost you to call that number. This cost of the call must be stated wherever 1902 or 1900 is shown. If you notice a charge for a 1900 or 1902 number on your bill and you haven't made a call to this number, call us on 131 999 to help you. "

Best of luck to you :)

Thanx everyone this is as i thought. I agree with you fourleaf i should have recieved a call or email for such a good prize. Shame on the scammers!

I

NEVER click any links given to you via your mobile phone, or even in emails, without checking into it first. A legitimate message should include all information about what it is that you won, and they should call and/or email you with full details about who they are and what you can do to contact them via phone and/or email to claim your prize. There are so many scams right now that it is easy to be hoodwinked. Please be careful. You may have opened yourself up to hacking and viruses.

Thanks, good to know regarding the Combux PayPal option.
I'm not doing many comps thou try and remember to chip away at the CompBux most days and do the occassional survey. Slowly chipping away to get the $50 mark. :)

Toluna survey on banking exited after completion of 80% or so and said I did not meet requirements so only 5 points. The screen out mechanism needs review to be made more equitable

Plus the description stated it was on mobile phones, Often finding these are wrong

The surveys are so frustrating. Just spent 10 minutes answering a heap of questions to be told I was screened out. I was more than 75% through it - how could I be screened out then and not allocated the points?
Then others won't run or are broken. Or suddenly decide halfway through they don't like my device.

Hi on tomorrow.com/au, when you enter a competition it asks a series of about 6 offers/ads, do you have to complete this (i usually press skip to the end) for the entry to go through?

It's a scam, unless you want to be inundated with call centre calls from India...go ahead.

SunnyLife

I just skip to the end. It says I have been accepted and entered, so I take it at face value. Mind you, you should open up a special email account for doing competitions. So far in my "special email" I have about 6,500 in the in box and about 5,000 in the junk box. I merely go through each day and enter a search by "congratulations" or "congrats" to see if I've won anything. Having done competitions now for about 5 years I can cheerfully say I haven't won a brass razoo and the shock of actually winning something will probably cause me to die of a heart attack! :-)

General Chatter

Tip of the week for entering competitions:
Have a break every now and then
Grab some of nature's own vitamin D
Go for a stroll and don't think about comps
Look for some markdowns at your supermarkets
Saving money is cool too!

I'm so dubious about competitions that ask just to sign up with your email and no other details. I guess they just want to bombard you with advertising and newsletters. I never see any winners names or announcements.
The amount of overseas call centres that ring is just ridiculous too.
I guess someone must be winning all these comps as this is the worst year I've ever had at not winning anything. Perhaps more people are doing it now. ??

I've given up doing the surveys. It's simply not worth the time and effort. You fill out a lot of questions and waste time only to find you have been screened out - then it takes a month of Sundays to have the privilege of gaining a pittance.

just did three surveys each about 15-20mins long, got to the end and no points rewarded at all!! what a waste of my time!!

For those who haven't signed up to Cashrewards
Now is the time to do so.
You purchase Woolworth's E-Gift Cards save them onto your phone for 5% less of the cost.
So if you 100 you pay 95.
Then use these as Woolworths Petrol station to get a great discount as you get 4 cents off plus you get 5% off as well!

I get to the website to immediately be told I don't qualify - without having to answer any questions!
1. Why do I get sent an email to tell me I have a survey when there really isn't one?
2. How can a person be screened out before going anywhere?
There is something screwy here if you ask me.

Hi @Donald4564,

If you're screened out right away it could be a number of things including the quota for the survey being full. Surveys need X participants and if they are met they will close the survey off. It's important to attempt the surveys as they are sent when possible.
