I won and they took it away from me

    I had just had an unbelievable conversation with a woman at scrumpy jack. I received a letter months ago saying I had won the daily balloon flights promotion and my balloon tickets were enclosed. The letter said that limited edition jackets and cider would follow in August. Nothing arrived so I emailed to ask where they were. A week later Jess rang me to tell that it was a technical fault and that i had not won at all and i would not be getting the jackets or cider. To add insult she also informed me that the balloon tickets were invalid and I would not be able to use them!!!!!!!!!!!!! Apparently I am the only person this has happened to, I’m sorry but you cant tell someone they have won and then take it away from them. I am so angry and upset


    would anyone be able to write on their facebook wall and support me on this im still in shock from the call

    this is truly shocking :eek: How can a prize giver do that?!

  • I think that's a disgraceful act, and I think you could take it further.

    If it happened to me, I'd get in contact with these chaps > http://www.facebook.com/pages/Penman-and-Sommerlad-Investigate/326889169682

    and they'd look at it and see if they can report on it.

    Who's to say the lady didn't win and they've run out of money or something? Never know.. just seems too fishy to me.

    Would they actually have informed you the tickets were invalid if you had not queried the rest of the prize? Would have been terribly embarrassing for you if you had tried to use them:(:eek:

    Can't see any comments on Scrumpy Jack page I found - is there another?

    Hope they see sense - won't their image any good if they don't:cool:

    Thats outrageous. I am outraged on your behalf. I hope you get it sorted, and if they don't - let me know if you want some help kicking up a stink!

    Posted how yucky I think this all is on fbk. Even if there has been a mistake, you think they would honour it with it being their mistake! Tools.

    Hope you get it sorted

    Hi Mishel02

    this is really bad treatment hope it gets sorted. Instead of posting a message on fb I have used the 'contact us' form on the actual scrumpy website pointing them in the direction of their fb page, the bad feelings their actions have created through their shabby treatment of you etc
    this is the link if anyone wants it. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you x
