Heres How it went:

TG: Hello im ringing from total guitar magazine do you mind if i ask you a few questions
Me: No
TG: Do you enjoy reading our magazine
Me: Yes i think it's great
TG: How often do you read it
Me: Im a subscriber
TG: Oh very good, would you mind telling us how old you are
Me: Im 16 (coz i am)
TG: Oh im sorry, we where hoping to inform you that you have won one of our recent competitions but unfortunatley you're not old enough to recieve the prize thankyou for your time
Then they hung up

I nearly smashed the phone on the floor- Just looked through my old magazines the competition was for a £1500 guitar- i'll find pics later if i can be arsed

I started scrolling down, and his next post was...

Hey,

I hope he doesn't lose any sleep over it. It probably was a "scam" phone call!!
Reason being; a legitimate call would have asked his age first.

And, in addition to that, if a company considers you old enough to "pay" for a subscription to their magazine, than he would thus be entilted to the prize!

Call me at my law office!

Boy that sucks - try getting back to them...

Whatever way this turns out - SWEET giveaway though !

 

[Smellybum]

could a parent or guardian not take the prize?

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

I entered that comp - why could it not be me!?

Because they know you're an Axis man, silly boy!!!!

OHSHI- Freaking brutal. And, as much as I doubt it's a scam, it still sucks mentally to think of losing out on such a fine guitar.
