Thread: *Warning Alert*

  1. #1

    Question *Warning Alert*

    Has anyone received a "Have you won £1 million for Christmas" pamphlet through their door. You cannot miss it, it is blue with large gold coloured text.

    Do not text or phone this until you have read and fully understand the small print.
    It is legal because they have included it there but if you do not read it you will find. The call or text will cost you £12 to enter plus minimum call charge. You will also be charged £6 per week if you text unless you stop them.

    I just wanted to warn everyone because not everyone reads the small print or only read part of it. I hate these things, I think they are appalling and they always seem to show up around this time of the year.

    Be safe guys

    Yep, I have 3 piles at post time. 1. "I want to keep, deal with and file it", 2. "recycle it, cos its no use to anyone except hard on the botty toilet roll" and 3. "shredding, use later as packaging materials"......

    I have a sign on my door saying ''no junk mail'' - and if I hear them putting it through, several times I have gone out and made sure they got it back.
