So, for example, to win a Dell PC 3000 people have to text you. Each of those people get charged 1gbp for the text message. I am not sure how much you get, but let us say it is 75p per message. That is 2250gbp to you for a, what, 800gbp machine!
Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
(Damn - I wish I had thought of it!!)
Just a thought!

yep the owner is making a fortune, especially on the mini £37,500 before buying the prize if he makes 75p per message. But then again its not too bad for the person playing, only £1 to win a £13,000+ car.
It is like all premium rate phone and text compos on TV and the net. The organizers make a ton.
There are loads of free compitition sites on the net, like myoffers.co.uk, why pay to enter one, that probably has a smaller chance of winning?

i doubt he will ever come back to the board again. he is just probably posting on every forum he can find to get as much exposure for his site as possible.

@buckle247 - I'm having the same doubts as well. I have concluded that the username he/she used @winningtext, is kind to have a synonymous scheme with that off what he/she is offering to the members to participate to Who would have thought of using that username if that person is in his right way of thinking . . . 'loose screws' perhaps Really kinda vague and strange to me - now  Well, he/she has the floor for some explaining to do |
