Please Be Careful with Who You Are Giving Your Details Too
Competitions
A few comps and a couple of deals have been posted today that have been very dubious to say the least and all from the same poster who joined today.
An example of 1 is where they gave you an option of receiving emails,texts,post,calls from their partners.The form went through without having to tick the box but in their basic competitions terms it stated that by entering a competition you were giving them permission to share your details anyway . Here is the list they gave of the partners they would share your details with. Do you really want all these companies to have your details? PLEASE be careful when giving your details if things look dodgy they probably are

I 100% agree with everything Jinxyjink has said.
If anyone has signed up to National-consumer-center through a competition, you need to remove them as quickly as possible - https://howtoremove.guide/national-consumer-center-scam-removal/
There is no way of knowing how these organisations will use your details or how much they will collect but I think it is worrying. Like Jinxyjink I have been comping for many years and recognise many of them but anyone can get caught.
Putting up a prize should not be the criteria. They sell details for hundreds of thousands and give away a camera or something. Lots of scams still involve something of value but it is bait.
Same goes for freebies. Companies promise to send out in 1-2 weeks and you never receive it, but they get to keep your data and then sell or use it. But then, a few do send out the goods so yeah, they aren't all the same.
I used to be a regular user of sites such as OfferX, MyOffers and many others, when I was young and stupid that is. But overtime, needless to say I ended up getting bombarded with nothing but spam emails, phone calls and post without ever actually winning a prize. The vast majority (if not all) of blocked numbers on my phone are a result of entering comps on those said sites.
However, sometimes I did enjoy winding up telemarketers before blocking the numbers.
