Has anyone won anything on these shows; Mint Mansion, QuizCall etc.......... If so how much did you win and how many calls (i.e. how much did you have to spend) to get through

I have never won nor do I know anyone who has.
Decided one night to constantly ring for 5 minutes and was not successful at being connected once, even though the presenters kept saying, "call now for a better chance of getting through, as they were taking calls every 10 seconds". I found it strange that night, as during my 5 minute spell of calling, they never took any calls on air.
Definitely appears to be a rip off but am not sure who controls these programmes or who to complain to, so just simply ignore them now.
I did email the programme one night stating my disgust but never got a reply.
Would certainly recommend to anyone thinking of phoning them to give it a miss.

ive tried afew times but i have never got through. even in speed rounds.now they have raised the price to 75 p a min i dont really bother. you can get free web entrys but im usually in bed watching these shows so last thing on my mind is coming downstairs to apply. plus they ring you back at any time so the answer you wanted to give more than likely gone.
i find if i have tried to ring ill turn the tv over cas i dont wanna see if someone who has rang with same answer has won.

I got through to quiz night live on ftn. My answer was wrong. It cost me £1 from my mobile.
Its worth 1 go when the win is a guaranteed £25,000. Tax free!

I've tried a few but will never try them again, costs too much and your never guaranteed to win, how will you know if anyone has won, they can put any name down and say they are a winner, I think they are scams

Never, once I tried, but although my call was answered, I just got a recorded voice sayong that I hadn't been successful and to try again, but at 60p a minute, I didn't bother, what a swizz!

No don't go there!! it's a rip off.
Unless you are very rich in the first place and don't mind losing it all, in which case you should'nt be ringing them anyway.
No No No No No !!!!!!!!!!
