E-Petitions

[michael555]

Hello i would like to set up a E-Petitions to stop scams like itv play,etc.

Maybe if the goverment class this as a lottory or change the law.

People are falling into debt because of these misleading shows.

How would i go about this?

Send it to the Prime Minister

http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/

Or more seriously, just google for some Petition sites, however, you will then have to do the leg work to get it noticed by the broadcasting companies.

I'd use that e-petitions link that Chris sent - many of those have been picked up by the media and it is probably has the best chance out of all the other petition sites

What is ITV play exactly? Is it one of those gameshow things where people ring in to try and win, but spend loads on the phone?

yep itv play is in my eyes a lottery scam.

see

http://play.itv.com/

75p per play even if you don,t get on air.

Same as all of them.

i've seen these shows and they are a rip off, some of the answers are so obscure theres no chance of anyone getting them

After two or three in the morning sky has those stupid channels everywhere....Its all such a load of crap and really annoys me, as ME says the answers are so obscure you ain't gotta hope in hell of getting it right, and that's if there is a right answer in the first place.....Why people even phone them is beyond me...

Has PCReview not thought of having a phone-in competition yet?

Skype coupled with Pay-Pal , youd get 98% profit . Offer a super dooper gaming rig as a prize and PC Review would be on to a winner I recon .
