why do they still do it?

[lumination]

when i buy magazines. almost every time there will be a scratch card that falls out and shockingly, everytime, i win something! its a known rib off con and nobody rings the number which are £3 a minute!
how can they still dish out the cards and think people will call in?! crazy people!

[poodicat]

Sadly people still do...

[lumination]

and it bugs the hell out of me! lol

[cazzz1975]

the cost of printing out a shedload of scratchcards is more than covered by the cost of phonecalls from gullable people duped into thinking they have won something

If people didn't ring it wouldn't continue would it and sometimes the "con" isn't apparent.

Never underestimate the stupidity of the general public. Just look at some of the questions on here. I've just answered one from someone asking for ideas on what to do with glitterglue. Jeez!

[lumination]

its just everyone i know would never ring them, and im guessing neither would any of you. its just very annoying that they are alwasy there! lol teasing me!

Ring this number ...calls are £5 a minute.

Thats why they don't get done - They make it quite clear they are doing you, but still people must ring???

i once rang one of those numbers after winning a prize on a scratchcard ( used work phone though i'm not that stupid) anyway i got a lovely weekend break to prague from it so it's not as much of a con as people think
