I did the same one I think, not sure. But then it said I had to suscribe to one of their sponsers offers (which required a CC#) and I just exited the whole thing. But no one ever called me. Shoot, I guess if all they want is your address its cool, but I would never give my CC# or SS# or anything like that.

canadababy has a good idea. Call Victoria`s secret corporation and double check.

They probably just want your address for marketing purposes, and to send a gift cert but if you give them your address you`ll probably start getting tons of stuff in the mail. I might even be inclined to call Victoria`s Secret head office and ask them about it.

The questionnaire asked for name, address, phone number. Then, it went into the survey about a bunch of products and if I would like more information about them. When the gal called to notify me that I had `won`, she said she had to ask a few questions to make sure I qualified...1) What year I was born. 2) What year I graduated High School. 3) What major credit cards I am most likely to use(I told her we don`t use credit cards). 3)Since I don`t use credit cards, which type of debit card I use (visa, mc). I told her I didn`t know.

I agree with KR

if they are just looking for an address to send the certificate to i would think it was ok. But if they want your e mail, credit card numbers and other personal information they i wouldnt go threw with it.

I was bored on Sunday, so I was playing on Facebook. I entered a Victoria`s Secret gift certificate contest. It started asking me random marketing questions and I felt uneasy. So, I exited off my computer. I got a call yesterday, letting me know that I had won the gift certificate. I think this is a total scam now and I don`t know what to do. Any advice? I am afraid of them stealing my FB account or hacking into my personal information.

  1. Is SaraKelly still on here? I know she was a mod but I didn`t see her post in the previous Who Is A Mod poll...
  2. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  3. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  4. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  5. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  6. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  7. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  8. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  9. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  10. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
