SOCOM Win

I really don't want to seem ungrateful, as my success rate with competitions isn't great. I got the below e-mail saying that I won. The only thing that makes me really cross is that the e-mail had the e-mail addresses of everyone who won - as I know from experience that there are some unscrupulous people out there who will take advantage of all these e-mail addresses and send us lots of unwanted spam!! :mad:

Sent them an e-mail thanking them and giving my details, but also saying how disappointed I was that everyones' details were shown. Be interesting to see if they reply or even apologise. When Vimto did something similar I got some vouchers as an apology.
