    Malwarebytes has blocked this website for me, saying it might be compromised. Just a heads up!
    Thanks for the heads up. No mention of this competition on the Jo Malone website. Also, subscribing to their newsletter is on their home page not a separate page.

    I won't be clicking on the link. Perhaps the OP could tell us where the link came from? 


  • I filled in my details before reading this forum… do you think it’ll be okay?!

    ⛔️ ⚠️  WARNING ⚠️ ⛔️ 


    I have had confirmation from the Official Jo Malone London that this is unfortunately NOT genuine.
    not an official Jo Malone offer, and this is a third party website we have no connection to. 

    I am usually fairly good at not giving my details to non genuine people / scammers / spammers , but this one bypassed me and my computer software, so many people had already 'comp-limented' the post and it was posted in February so I just assumed it was okay. 

    I believe all we gave was our name, email address and home address, which could be obtained in other ways.
    You could do a scan and clear your cache and cookies to try and help, if they have done anything. And be cautious as you usually would regarding any links in emails or any information that comes in the post. 
    If you join up to the official Jo Malone London newsletter, there is no competition and you will get a confirmation from - news@em.jomalone.co.uk

    I hope that helps.

    I have also spotted it on the HotUKDeals forum, so I have reported it to the HotUKDeals team.
    Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.

    Thanks all. I've changed the title of this thread and moved it to Game Over. I've left the thread open for now in case anyone needs to discuss.

    Thanks, Ms_Dee & MSE_Laura_F
    I'm no detective but I usually follow my hunches

    1) There are a number of spelling mistakes on the page.
    2) As for the company, the sponsor is Eyes On Beauty, but the periodic beauty emails are from Eye On Beauty. No (S after eye) 
    3) Plus I've only been able to locate them in South Africa

    4) Whoever they are, they've got this at the bottom of the page - covering their backs.
