Did anyone else get the Boots 17 cosmetics winner email and then the recall?

Surfermom

I received the following email from Boots 17 cosmetics, -

Hi,

Hope you’re well.

Thanks for recently entering the competition on the 17 Cosmetics Facebook page. We’re delighted to inform you that you have been selected as one of our winners – congratulations!

Your prize includes 2 tickets to a 17 Cosmetics afternoon event. It takes place this Sunday 4th December from 1.30-4pm at All Star Lanes, Brick Lane (95 Brick Lane, London E1 6QL). As well as the private Summer Camp performance and meet and greet there will also be mini manicures on offer, bowling lanes open and snacks and drinks available for you throughout the day, so it’s going to be great fun.

If you could let me know whether you’re happy to accept the prize by 1pm on Friday 2nd December we can put your name on the guestlist, otherwise I will have to offer the prize to someone else.

To accept the prize please give me your full name, age, city of residence and mobile number.

Thanks in advance – and congratulations once again!
Sarah

Shortly after I received this email -

Sarah Blower would like to recall the message, "Boots 17 Cosmetics competition - WINNER".


Just wondered if anyone else had the same, I've been on their FB wall and 3 others have had the emails too, I've posted but not sure if there is anything I can do, its a bit disappointing:(

My first one was exactly the same as the first one - the above is the reply

I've had one too and the recall. I emailed her to ask if I had won or not and not heard anything from her. Are you going to go?

Had one too, confused.com here lol

I had a further one the same as the above and the recall. I'd already had contact with Sarah when she contacted me at lunchtime with a "legit" email, I think what's happened is she's had replies from those who couldn't attend and gone to offer these tickets to others and ended up emailing everyone who entered!

Have posted on the facebook wall as it looks like way too many people - have cheekily asked for some cosmetics as an apology
