You are a winner - well not really !

Is anyone else getting fed up with the e-mails with winner in the title that give the impression you won and then when you open it they say how you entered their comp and unfortunately did not win, but you are still a winner because here is a discount?

I am pretty good at making sure I opt-out of mailings but a lot of these have been sneaking through the past few weeks.

Fingers crossed for a real win soon haha!

    If you unsubscribe you have the opportunity to give misleading marketing as the reason ;)
