Exact same thing stood out to me!
That form is created using a 3rd party form builder from wufoo/SurveyMonkey (an American company). Person who created the form at HN probably forgot to change the default date format.
Here is the form link
We’re effectively becoming a US state.
Damn, I should have voted. lol
This tv weights 106kg without a stand lol.
GL to the winner if they want to mount it.
We'll cross that bridge when we get there.
Probably sell it to buy a decent quality 75 - 80" tbh
Why do they need my DOB?
Then your personal information is worth a lot more!
These types of giveaways are designed to collect your personal information, nothing else. Just one prize, probably worth around $6k for HN / Hisense, but imagine the amount of data they can gather.
Only thing missing in that form for stealing someone's identity is the drivers licence ID.
I'll pass..Yeah I passed too….
Look at the privacy policy at the bottom of that page. Data is collected by a 3rd party marketing company called Generic Publications Pty Limited, in short they openly admit they are going to use your data as they see fit.
just use a fake competition DOB, and competition only email address.. :)
Some bits and pieces from their T&C and privacy policy, you can put a fake DOB, but you are also running the risk of being disqualified, so why bother ?
- You warrant that all information that you provide to us is accurate, complete and up to date at the relevant time.
- information that we may require to initially identify you, including your name, home address and your date of birth;
- The Promoter and the Franchisee reserve the right to request Winners provide suitable identification of proof of age and identity prior to awarding a Prize.

Maaan I will take a details only comp over a shitty words or less or shitty creative ANY day of the week, D.O.B. or not…
So damn many lately it absolutely sucks.
Entered then the remembered how tiny my place is 😂.
Essentially 4* 1080p 50 inch screens at 100kg, mounting that would be a nightmare.
Needs to come down to $3900-5900 before I’d even consider it.
well when i win it you can have it for $5,500 ;)
Well this happened today. I am an avid ozbargainer for a few years now. Missed call this morning with my standard response "who they hell is that?" and I did not answer. No voice message, can't be important. A follow up email from a marketing company saying I have won a 100 inch tv. Now I am still thinking scam. Remembered I entered this comp (via Facebook I think). Did some investigating to rule.out scam. Turns out I won the tv! Buzzing all day and could not get any work done. I am one of those "never win anything" guys. I still can't believe it.
Here is the problem (a good problem). I live in a one bedroom apartment so this tv is not going to work. I have been saving for a new car. Best way to sell this beast of a thing? Was going to go ebay pick up only route. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Wow congratulations! Shame you won't be able to use it. I'd suggest using Gumtree as to avoid ebay fees. Might find it a bit difficult to move such an expensive TV but best of luck!
Congrats!
Agree, try use gumtree to avoid the ebay fees.Decided I might contact all the hotel groups to see if I can get any interest from them. Always had a bad vibe about gumtree although I think it has improved recently.
I hate it when people enter competitions for prizes they don’t need or want, then win! Very selfish. 🤬
2.25m wide… far out!
What an amazing win congrats bud so jealous.
Got a call saying my internet was not secure, it called the number I used to join this competition. The form used on this competition may really be dodgy
Thanks a lot gnv 9!
