....getting LOTS of Congratulation emails from The HealthStyle Guide?

At least half a dozen a day :mad:

I see Congratulations you have won..........get all excited, then swear at them :rotfl:

Did they do a comp?

I have just tried to opt out of their emails and got a pop up saying because of the area I live in I can't use this option :eek:

    I'm getting lots of spammy stuff like this too, not from that Healthstyle, but just random rubbish that starts off 'Congratulation!'
    I'm getting them from 'supposedly' the likes of Argos, Ladbrokes, and (my favourite) 'Morrison' (although in the email itself it says 'Morrison's'
    Tbh, I do go through stages of getting stuff like this, usually twice a year for about 3-4 weeks and then they stop. Trouble is, is that my junk folder fills up pretty rapidly, and I check it often in case I miss a real win - although the comping Fairy has deserted me this month.
    Be Lucky
    BEST EVER WINS WON IN ORDER (so far) = Sony Camcorder, 32" lcd telly, micro ipod hifi, Ipod Nano, Playstation 3, Andrex Jackpup, Holiday to USA, nintendo wii, Liverpool vs Everton tickets, £250 Reward Your thirst, £500 Pepsi, p&o rotterdam trip, perfume hamper, Dr Who stamp set, steam cleaner.

    comping = nowt more thrillin' than winnin':T :j

    I think I am more disappointed than anything. I am sure it will happen to all of us.

    You get an email saying Congratulations and you get butterflies in your tummy, then you open it and realise it is crap then the butterflies turn to stones and hit the bottom of your tummy :(

    My turn will come ;)

    You could forward them to Action Fraud, it might help stop them?
