Worried, ITV win?

I have seen my name as a winner for January 7th Real Deal broadcast!

But never received a call/WEM!

Could I be so unlucky that someone who does the ITV comps has exactly the same name as me? They state that person is from Essex, I am from Sussex but they wouldnt have known that without speaking to me.

Or have I been spammed and my name used by someone else?

I have emailed them but no reply as yet.

has this happened to anyone else? :(

    I reckon that ITV probably get thousands and thousands and thousands of entries, so the chances are that someone else has the same name as you and lives in Essex.

    Looking at the winners name it is very common, I don't think they publish the winners name until they have made contact with them so sorry, I don't think its you :(

    If ITV have published the name, they have spoken to the winner.
    I would think, therefore, it is someone with the same name unfortunately.
