Just saw this over on the Rpoints forum ... you missed out the most important bit, the dolts at 3 have carbon copied the emails, so everyone who bought it just received around 650 strangers' email addresses!

EVERYONE who receives these emails , should reply asking for the address at which legal papers can be served , due to them Breaking the data protection act.

Even if people have no intention of making an official complaint through any means , by replying to that email , saying that you are , they will certainly be bobbing themselves!!

The simple act of storing contacts on your computer (or in a filing cabinet for that matter) puts certain obligations upon you under the Data Protection Act. For example, you must protect the privacy of that data, unless the individual has specifically allowed you to pass it on to third parties. Clearly, passing an individuals' name and email address to an arbitrary email list is hardly in accordance with UK law!

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies.

Already been moved to the consumer vent board. When a thread is moved you can still see it under the original board except it's then just a link.

I see you're from Durham. Really nice place (went to uni there for 6 years).

Well I know a few people who had an awful time because of the college they were in. Personally I couldn't have been happier, made to part of a "family" right from the start. Post grad time was probably most enjoyable.
