Dickinson's Real Deal ?

I had an email from there today saying thanks for your entry and the competition has ended and they are in the process of contacting the winner, has anyone else had this before, never had any response before in the years I've been entering, looked genuine, even though that email account was hacked last night and they sent 80+ emails to who knows that all bounced back...lol Have full account access now and have changed password

    That is VERY strange indeed, have you hovered over the name to find out the actual email address cos it can still say dickinsons real deal but when you click on it it can say from scams@nigeria.co.uk LOL

    I've never known ITV to contact non winners at all. Even winners get a phone call and no email.
    August-September 2017: Lots of stuff :)
