    Thanks Stelly, it just seems a bit weird as its kind of worded the same???

    I thought that as well but ive noticed that theres a lot of spelling mistakes and things not worded quite right on the eds site. ( all that time waiting for the pages to load properly :rotfl:)


    Thats also why i gave my mobile number as im still a bit wary about giving my house number.

    Fingers crossed its not a scam.

    Must admit kinda glad ive not won a t-shirt if its not even the official one.

  • Hi ive recieved the 2nd email too, directly to the junk folder, iver replied using a mobile i rarely use, but seems more believable if only cost its co.uk just gotta wait n see now, they havent replied to individual emails..
    ive won a t-shirt and now wondering what is gonna turn up:eek: beginning to think the site is losing credibility as you would of thought that the t-shirts would be in place not subject to "another"comp which wasnt at first advertised. oh well at least the cd should be original, hopefully not highly original lol

    Hi folks,

    Got a reply from eds and think its all ok :j

    I guess they realised that people were supicious about the first email heres the response

    Hi,
    Thanks for concerning and the contact number. Our CD supplier is “ CD WoW” http://www.cdwow.com/.
    In the past, our supplier could not exactly send the gift to some users because some people offered the wrong delivery address. It was big loss for !!!!!!.
    Please understand our request. And Your contact number is safe.

    hope you can get the cd soon.

    Best
    !!!!!!

    So i think everyone is ok to email their number.

    Looking forward to getting it now :j:j.

    Their English is shocking. Is EDS a legit site then? I've never heard of it.
