Weird WEM!

I received an email today saying I'd won a pair of Black XS Headphones. Later I received another one entitled ERRATUM saying I've won a Black XS Fragrance Bottle!

Both emails have a load of text at the beginning of them *confused smiley* Probably supposed to be some sort of header gone wrong.

Anyways, I think it's from [thread=2629159]this comp[/thread]. Thanks Lakshmi for the OP and Girlbutterfly for the answers :T

  • I think it's real, there was definately a comp with Black XS - a quiz like it says in the email.

    I've just replied to it so we'll see what happens.

    Yes I did, and my telephone number! I just replied to the email, saying I'd received 2 emails from them and assumed the first was in error. Then gave my details. I'll let you know if they reply. Their email address seems geniune enough.

    There's a link to the comp in my first post if you want to check it out. I'm sure it's ok.
