Free Postcode Lottery/ Pick my postcode thread

Can't say I've had a problem at all.

I wouldn't worry too much about your personal information. It's only email and post code. Account deletion should be sufficient if you are concerned.

More likely something your end than theirs, here's an old article, I'm sure more recent ones can be found

In case anyone hasn't noticed there are now 2 sponsored draws running at the same time - Groupon and Quidco , whichever one it defaults to when you go to the sponsored draw page click on the other title to get to that draw.

There are now even more sponsored draws to click on. Click on the "Sponsored" tab on the top bar to access. Or when you open one "Click on next draw" to scroll to the next one.

A couple of days ago I clicked through my FPL daily email to see if I'd won, only to be confronted by a pornographic moving image where the usual advert is above the winning postcode!

Has anyone else had this happen?

I wasn't impressed as I have young children who were around when I checked my emails, so it's lucky that they didn't see it.

I sent an email asking FPL why this image was there and whether my account had been compromised, along with asking to have my details deleted as I no longer trust them. The reply I got was generic instructions on how to unsubscribe and delete my account but no information about why this had happened or reply to my concern about the security of my personal information.

I replied asking for the above information again and have yet to receive a response, so I just wondered if this was an issue for anyone else please?

Thanks everyone

Well, not necessarily, could easily be malware or adware of some description that's infected the machine, so I would hesitate to accuse a member of the household straight away. The ads should also be filtered to some extent so regardless of your browsing history, you should NOT be presented with !!!!!! on a site like FPL. Check the PC for viruses and malware using the latest updates of Defender and your favourite anti-virus program.
