Received an email from these people today with the usual annoying congrats headline. In this case:-
Kleanstone - call all 'At Home' winners!
The less than exciting "all other entrants" prize is an unspecified free gift.
That didn't bother me so much as the fact that there was no unsubscribe facility. Though my memory's flagging nowadays I seem to remember a couple like this recently. I thought it was mandatory to include an unsubscribe facility, but is it only an industry "best practice" thing I wonder?
Checking back at the comp post and follow-ups from Feb for the comp which ended in May I can't think why I entered in the first place!!
