yep but i don,t put bank information on it.


But it is a real site and a real mag.

You see the mag in asda,tesco
 
It does not matter; if the site is NOT secure then why give the scammers a chance? I.E. email> your address> you have to put the correct info in, for if you win with false info your not going to get the prize are you? This country is a prime target at the moment?????? You read it every day on the News!!!!:eek:
 
To be honest, the site is probably ok for unsecure information such as e-mail addresses, its no more than someone could obtain easily anyway. Only check for the padlock if you are dealing with money or other important stuff (online tax returns, online shopping, banking etc...).
 
That 'mag' really wants to learn some aspects about security ... passing any information via the Internet is asking for it to be read somewhere ... name, address & phone number ... that is all I need to clone your identity.

If the intentions are good, I'm sure they are, why not just ask for an email address where you can be contacted.

I don't gamble. :D

Yep, it is real, I use to read it ... gave me a gigle then the price went up to a £1 ... sheesh, they got a cheek.

Anyway, what we are saying is ... ALL that info over an unsecure network is a lax in security, to say the least.

Are you sure you want me to have that information. ;)
