Public Service Announcement.

I finally have the Firestone tyres on my car thanks to the garage getting on to them!

Only took 16 months from the win. [no wonder the code was valid 2 years]

Won an Aldi voucher on Instagram.

I got one as well. I remember mindlessly entering it when I was in Tesco. I think it's a football.

This is very suspect, no Garda permit for the raffle, no charity number, no contact details on the website whatsoever (not even an email address), no T&Cs, the privacy policy also has no contact or DPO details (GDPR breach on its own). No details about payment processing. No domain details (all withheld).

The group name itself seems to exist/has existed, but there's no way to verify it's associated with the website.

Personally, I wouldn't trust it.

That's standard in the EU due to GDPR

Sort of, you can choose to declare and most would leave a generic admin email address or an abuse address.

Every time I try to enter Examiner competitions where there's a multiple choice question, the form asks me to tick every single box, even the wrong answers to the question. For example, in this one, I can't submit it unless I tick June 13-26 and June 15-28 along with the correct answer.
Anyone else getting this?

Just tried it. Ticked the right answer and all choices were highlighted. But I could submit the entry with just one answer ticked (Chrome on an Android phone).

Funny, on the phone I could submit no problem. But on the computer (regardless of browser) it wouldn't work.
