I haven't won!

Had a call from Scottish Power.

"I have some good news for you - you entered a competition for £3000 of John Lewis vouchers"

"Yes" (in that split second, all the things I could do with £3000 flew through my mind)

"Well I am ringing to tell you that ... if you switch to Scottish Power, you are likely to save money... and even if you don't you will still be entered into the competition..."

:mad:

The annoying thing is that I am already a customer of Scottish Power !

    Thats not fair! raising people's hopes like that :(
  • If nothing else, It has spurred me on to do a quick energy comparison to see if I can escape Scottish Power !
  • Gutted for you. If they do it to me I will scream my head off before they have chance to tell me I haven't won! They will be mortified.
    Good Luck!

    Know how you must have felt, I got one like that re a comp for a laptop - had only started comping and thought I had won ....until the sales pitch came in :mad:

    I now avoid any comps run in association with power companies :D
  • That's terrible. *makes note to avoid Scottish Power*

    Hoping you get some good luck very soon!
