B&Q customer survey & competition con!
Roger
chance to win �1000.
All you do is type in the number on the receipt. Unfortunately the company
hosting the competition
in America called Emphatica (which doesn't fall under the UK Data Protection
Act) is hosting it
on a broken server. Attempts to contact the company have been ignored by
customers.
So if you have got something for a bargain price and wanted to enter the
competition - it doesn't
really exist! B&Q have done this as a marketting ploy to get people in the
stores. They can say
it was a computer fault and it is outside their control ! That's the best
con I have seen for a while.
