I got one yesterday really thought it was a my first win this year. The email was from a a Deborah something, with a attachment symbol to it (normally at lot of wems I have like that) and the subject was Metro Radio Advent winner, so really thought it was a win, opened it up to " Thanks for entering our advent competition to win blah blah, I am pleased to announce (then you had to scroll down) Ms x of x was our winner and then goes on to try sell me something. Arhhhhhhhhhhh don't you hate them.

Also, the offers are never that good... I do only enter for things I want, so actually if they gave me a decent offer for the item, they might get me to bite, but... Free postage isn't going to get me excited

I just see to see more and more emails that look like a WEM eg the subject states 'Winner' or 'Congratulations' etc and when I open it, it either states, 'Sorry it was not you bla bla bla' or it announces someone else as the winner! Many more companies seem to be running comps that give losers a discount too - just shows how desperate many are getting for a sale!

I've been known to email them back to say how disappointing it is to be misled so meanly when my hormones get the better of me...

LOL You should reply using your hubby's name saying 'my poor wife is now in hospital due to her sudden over excitement then disappointment' and see if they send out a consolation prize! :rotfl:
