Just a reminder to everyone:

It teems with contests and surveys on the internet where you will win an iPad, a gift certificate, or a trip for you and your loved ones.
- Remember that the business primarily arranges the contest or survey to make money. Put yourself so closely with what you accept when taking part in the competition, encourages Consumer Gry Nergård.
Valuable contact information
Although there appears to be free to enter contests, you often need to pay with something else - your contact details.
- Access to consumer contact information and account on social media is valuable for the entrepreneurs because they can use this information to send targeted marketing, says Consumer Gry Nergård.
- If, for example, "like" a company on Facebook to participate in a competition, this means that you give the company the opportunity to send you marketing through updates on Facebook, she continues.
You can risk getting a lot of spam and unwanted telemarketing
Many traders use the contact information consumers have provided through participation in such competitions to create databases that are used to send out their own marketing purposes or sold to other businesses engaged in marketing.
The Ombudsman receives many complaints from consumers who have participated in competitions and then received a lot of unwanted e-mail from multiple senders. Many are also phone calls even though they are booked against this because they have participated in competitions on the Internet.
If you still want to participate in contests and surveys on the internet, is a tip to create a separate e-mail address that you use when you register. This way, the advertising messages are mixed together with your personal message.
