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!

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.

Congratulations @mausie!

Congratulations

Nice one!

Well done. My turn is coming!

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. :)

Hope you've been having plenty of luck.

Merry Xmas

How do you claim the PayPal option? Once you reach a certain number of points, it becomes available to select? I can see the option, but that's all

Pour myself a cup of hot tea and read for a solid half hour while drinking tea before I go to class or work. let's get this par-tea started aye? Terrible joke, sorry, moving on...

Episode 2: (11/11/18) keyword: - MEDIC | Bonus keyword: SIZZLE

I have to agree,getting screened out at 80% is a cop out :(

I agree, I have near given up doing any surveys, spend so much time answering the questions, get screened out for very little return unfortunately.

Yeh there is. I've won quite a few. Read the t&C to avoid rubbish. Good luck

Nothing worse Good luck 888

Argh. Happened again!

Happened to me too. :(

It's kangaroo

Just go to the "surveys" page, you will see them there.

Yeah, I had the same problem. I did it through laptop and mobile, no success. I've found a lot of sites aren't working lately.

Sunday morning

Been wondering the same

Still not drawn yet :)

Drawn out draw, congratulations to the winner,I was one off :)

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

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! :-)

Yeh not many wins being listed - or other helpful information and tips like there used to be

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 had a few wins. Nothing huge but I'm yet to win a really big one. Just enough to keep me in the game.

1st win in 18 months, tickets to the a show during the Sydney Fringe Festival...took my significant other and we had a good laugh, a nice dinner and a couple of drinks! Reminded me it is not what you win it is how you enjoy the win. xx

Congrats @KittyKat65

It happens all the time unfortunately!

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!!

That's awesome, congratulations

Sharing this to Facebook :P Great News!!!

Well done i did that for foo fighter tickets a few years back. Congrats!

How wonderful - you've actually won something. I've been entering competitions here for years and not even a tram ticket! :-) The only reward I have is an email account with 500 spam message daily.

Can someone tell me about the Tax angle if one should ever be in a position to win an overseas holiday. I am an old-age pensioner - so a tax bill would mean I'd probably have to sell the house.

Right down the bottom

Congrats! Here's to many more!

Congrats

nice win!

Congratulations

We're still keeping it on, but there will be a 2 week delay.. PayPal processing can be all too time consuming and an accounting nightmare and hard on fees esp with NZD (We're in NZ also).

Nice win mate!

Congrats, have fun :)

Great win and there's always the comps at the show too. :)

Congratulations.

Happy days!

Nice win

It is very quiet now isn't it, no wins here unfortunately.

Bj74 i have started up again after a few months off. Hopefully soon there's a winners call or email for you :)

Hey @surferboy83, biggest prize for me so far this year was $2000 worth of Noritake tableware.

Good luck for a winning call or email for you. Sure you will add a holiday or two to your prize list :)

Hey @surferboy83 glad to hear your still entering those trips! Largest win this year for me has been an iphone 8 ($1079). Congrats on your win @Smalot11 :)
I've seen some of these surveys before so I doubt I will be eligible again and I don't know how the third parties involved will use this information so I don't access this site much.
A lot of hard work for points and I'm normally time poor. (Personal opinion only).
Anyone on here is quite welcome to send me a friend request or give me a follow on insta and I will follow you back. Not entering as many now ( because of time) only the 'bigger' ones lol. Good luck to everyone and looking forward to hearing of your next big win @surferboy83 :)
and yours too @Smalot11 :) and crossing my fingers for you @bj74, you can have a loan of my fourleaf clover. :)

Thanks @fourleaf Congrats, an iPhone is always a great win. :)

I tend to be comping more over on Ozbargain these days, same username, happy also if you wish to connect on FB or insta. Instagram is still a work in progress for me.

Smalot11 and fourleaf cheers back and what great wins! Here's wishing you many more too! Well done!!

Thanks@fourleaf

@Smalot11 sent through a friend request to you :)

@fourleaf :)

A $250 voucher at my local shopping centre for me.

@Jrob71 Congrats, nice prize :)

Nice one! @Jrob71 :)

I am winning bits and pieces sporadically ,will always enter comps, can't stop now,the bug is alive and well, and once you taste that winning wine,it's addictive, good luck everyone,@surferboy,your a great example as to what can happen....and happen and happen again,and again, lol

Cheers Trevsta. same as you I'll just keep going and going :)

Never. Stopping either mate. Can't stop now, come too far!!!!

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.

Admin.

They must close them before they send out the email asking you to participate! That's all I can say.
