How disappointing to get what you think is a WEM, that actually isnt a WEM lol

For a split second I was all excited, thought I had won clothes show tickets.. Then I realised it was a "Dear <> you didn't win" email ... But would you like to join/buy/read...

Answer (in my head) No I wanted to win ... :rotfl:

Just thought i'd share that :rotfl:

    There seems to be a big increase, in emails that look like WEMs but aren't. I have had a few heart flutters this week opening emails that look like WEMs only to find the obligatory "Somone won our competition but it wasnt you, so here is a 2% discount voucher to cheer you up" argghhhh lol. Maybe company have worked out we are more likely to read there junk stuff if they make it look like a WEM.
    Many thanks to the wonderful staff at Birmingham Childrens Hospital caring for my tiny and very poorly grandson who was born at 29 weeks. Thanks to them he is getting a little stronger every day.:A:A:A

    'Re: Gillette Goody bag'

    this was an email from rugbyworldcomps this morning, so thought 'oooooh this could be a win'. To open it & find:

    [FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial]'Thank you for entering one of Rugby World's competitions. Did you know we have some sensational subscription offers running at the moment[/FONT]'

    nooooooooooo, :wall:
