As true as it seems

Hey, You are our First 1000 customer to visit this site, Click here to win.
The first 50 customer who submit their details will stand to win a XX brand handphone worth $XXXX.

Doesnt these sound familar?

I have my doubts on all these online campaigns, lucky draws etc. Skeptical i guess. After saying this, i wouldnt mind trying my luck out. It's easy though, a few clicks of a button. Some basic information requried and I am done.

1 year ago i chanced upon this site in Starhub ( http://www.starhub.com/). To me was hmmm... kind of an interesting name. Ripplevox. www.ripplevox.com A catchy name with a flashy design. So decided to click on the link. Ok. Some youngster site i supposed. There was this particular segment that interest me. This is what was written : " Sign up now, tell us how you feel, get a chance to try out the latest gadgets in town before their launch!" Woh,that is really cool. I am not a tech freak but tech stuff will interest guys more.

Decided to give it a try and sign up as member AT NO COST! Heng, at least it is of no cost to me. 3 month later i received some emails in my inbox offering me the chance to try out some mobile broadband service. I submitted my name but i believe lady luck wasnt with me.

2 weeks ago, i signed up for another new project, it is to try out some MP3 players. As usual submited my name.. To my surprise, they really replied back!






I thot this could just be another advert method to get my details but DaDA..Another email followed up along...




Cool, Ready to be collected! I will have a brand new MP3 Player.
Pretty excited over this - A sneak preview of how it looks like.

Will be making my trip down to collect my MP3 later.. Yeah!
