    i just got that email too, with someone elses details ( MC too), i wonder how many winners there were.:confused:
  • Just had a look and I think there were 5 winners.
    I think the best thing to do is just delete the WEM.

    I have just got a winning email from the same company and I found this thread when I was searching out the competition to post a thank you. The worrying thing is that my initials are MC. I guess you lot (and goodness knows who else have all been sent my personal details). Would anyone care to PM me with something further such as the last four digits of the phone number that was quoted, so that I can see if it was my details that have been circulated. I might then have to think carefully whether I complain to them or what I should do, as I think that they will be in breach of the data protection act.

    Hope it isn't you but if it is I would complain - in this day and age of I.D fraud you can't be too careful. I know none of us compers would have criminal intentions but the comp organisers are breaking the Data Protection Act:eek:

    Bet it was me and as you say, it is worrying.

    Thanks to Hayleyw1 who sent me a PM. I am now more convinced than ever that it is my details that have been circulated. In my rage about my details being circulated, I forgot that the original reason that I came on was to thank Catz747 for posting the competition, so thanks Catz and everyone else who posts on this forum.
