Yup me too, had a phone call earlier from them.
Shame as it sounded for real and I'm just relieved I hadn't told anyone yet.

Well im a "winner" too - my partners family lives in Barcelona so imagine his excitement when i interupted him at work to shriek down the phone that we would be able to visit them soon.

I have contacted Unilever, the IPM and the Daily Mail... and yes although people do make mistakes they could also make apologies.

Im sure we are all a little gutted right now and at the very least would like and also deserve a sorry....my living room air turned blue when i realised it wasnt true!!

Group hug anyone??

I can't believe people are speaking to the Daily Mail, of all papers.

Its a simple, human error. Is this going to be the case where every time somebody makes a mistake its going to be in the papers.

GET A GRIP PEOPLE. They will make an apology when they've sorted themselves out, I've had a call from them.

I would hope that we forgive and move on, but people are just in for a quick buck.

Completely agree...been over an hour now and still no "sorry we made a mistake" email...really do feel sorry for the people who won't have seen this thread and still think they've won

Yep, that was me. I rang my boyfriend, my Mum and Dad, told all my friends and even put it on Facebook. Now to find out it's all a mistake is completely gutting. I don't normally fall for things like this but when you've entered the competition and the email is genuinely from that promoter its only natural to get your hopes up. Now I feel completely stupid, and completely disappointed.

I just came to say I too was the victim of this. The only reason I found this was because I googled the prize wondering what it was for because I think I entered ages ago. I'd told my mum and everything. I am a sad old thing now.
