    I'm fairly sure these are due to entering comps on whattodowiththekids ............ have suspected for a while that they sell on our email addresses. Will investigate later but only on first cup of tea at the moment.

    This happened to me too but I got loads of nasty messages telling me to stop, I had no idea what was going on:( One kind friend on fb told to delete the Boots app which seems to of worked but now I cant update my status on fb, shame really cos I have a few choice words for some people, fb might be on its way out from my comping life.
    Thank you for this site Martin

  • Yeah i'm getting these too and the language is getting quite colourful.

    it's a breach of data protection if nothing else as other users shouldn't get to see your email addy or other information.
    Not really comping any more as too ill - but hoping to win £1000+ in 2017 in cash prizes - watch this space!

    I didn't enter any comps on that site. I used a specific email add for wtdwk comps & found spam galore on it ..... some even stated it was refered by them

    I didn't enter that comp either:( if it is connected to fb then deleting that Boots app defiantly worked if that helps anyone:)
