Got this e-mail

'Hey,

Just want to check you got my email before this one? I just said what I had given you, for being loyal to us at aquila. etc etc did you get the email?

If you could get back to me that would be great. Just don't want everything I've sorted for you to go to waste!

It’s a really exciting night, and your Movida package is a really special one, im exciteddd! xx

Im in the office on 0203 214 8235 too x '


emailed back questioning what it was then recieved this back....


'Hey, how are you?

So, I’m in charge of giving out the rewards for people that have been to AQUILA on a Wednesday. I’ve picked you as one of our recipients to receive the loyalty gold exclusive package at our one off AQUILA at Movida this Wednesday June 12th. We like to give back to our attendees!

I’ll explain your huge package now :)
So, you’ve got: A party in VIP for you and friends. You’ve got free entry, a VIP table for you and friends to use all night, gold VIP wristbands for all of your friends. And most importantly, a golden AQUILA envelope. With a very special prize in it...The golden envelopes contain either bundles of cash, bottles of grey goose vouchers, or free club tickets.

This is all at AQUILA at Movida special one off night on Wednesday June 12th. It’s going to be outrageously good. Movida is one of London’s hottest clubs. We’ve got the hottest AQUILA DJs, AQUILA door staff, and special AQUILA drink prices too. Literally cant wait now – one of the best ever weeks to win for!!

All I need from you is a list of your friends' names. Prize is really for large groups, as it’s a VIP table package, so please send over 30+ names, if you don’t think you can reach this let me know, I’m sure I can work something out, but 30 is the target.

I’m in the office 10-5pm week days, available on 0203 214 8235. AQUILA is the hottest club night brand in London, and Movida is one of London's best venues.
xx'

    Golden envelope is probably more free entry tickets so you go again and spend more money!

    I remember a few months back tons of people got these emails, saying they'd won a top night out when all it turned out to be was the people from Aquila trying to get people to fill their club and spend tons of money.

    Yup I would guess this is it again. Not reeeaaallyy a scam but dodgy and deffo not worth taking up IMO it's a marketing ploy.
