Anyone ever had a window popping up saying you are a random winner when surfing on RunnersWorld? I just got it and it says I am visitor number 98127435 and I should call a number 0800xxxxxxx in 3 minutes to claim a £1001 price. Does this have somethink to do with RW or is it just in the internet cafe I am sitting in today? I don't have my phone with me, so haveI escaped a hoax or did I miss the big possibility?

It's just a con though advertisers - you get them on most commercial sites. Never click on one ever.

Lars, are you running Microsoft Instant Messenger?

That popup isn't anything to do with us, I'm glad to say

I don't know what I am running since I don't have any influence on the system here. My computer at work is to far away today so I went to the internet cafe around the corner. I havn't called so no harm done.

Unfortunately I missed you yesterday. You must have overtaken me with a big group, but when I asked some of them they didn't know if they were following a pacer or not. Still had a nice day.
