They Found Me!!!!

[Shogun]

For years I was getting mail from a certain firm but eventually after a house move the letters stopped. Now today after several more moves a letter arrived addressed to me from READERS DIGEST. AAAAGGGGGHHHH. How did they find me?? Who blabbed??? How do I stop them again??
I am a potential winner of £250,000 in the third and final stage of the 100th grand prize draw.
Does anybody know of someone who has received a prize from them?

Does anybody know of someone who has received a prize from them?

Yup ... my mom did several years ago!

... It was quite a pretty teatowel iirc!

they found me yesterday after a 7 year gap, and also have been given chance in prize draw. appararantly i'm one of the 1% of people in nottinghamshire who's been given this once in a lifetime chance.

p.s i'll shortly have the chance of buying a book of some sort or another ,goes to look in filing system.

You lucky sod - I've been in my new house nearly 6 years and not one 'Winner's' notification

Sobs

 

[daftbugga]

you can have mine if you want it.

Thanks DB - you're too kind, but perhaps it's better if I just write to them and ask to be put on their mailing list?

Anyone know their web address so i can register online and become one of the 'chosen' 1% with a real chance of winning £250,000 or more?


Here's a funny though... some years ago an elderly relative died and I helped with the house clearance. Sure enough, we found a very old Reader's Digest where the exciting bit was something like

"Win £5,000 now or £500 per year for life - imagine being able to go on holiday every year for life fully paid for" - with a nice shot of some overseas location

I wonder if anyone took the £500 for life - and what they do with it now? A weekend in Blackpool perhaps?

Inflation eh!

[DiddyDave]

Great stuff - I'll cut you in for my winnings!

 

[matchbox]

you can fill out a form online i think at royal mail and tick no mail not addressed to and then you put in whoever lives at your addres.

 

[DiddyDave]

Hmmm tempting

Just remembered... I'm on MPS

Ha - that's why the buggrs haven't 'found' me - that's better than a disillusion charm!

Soz, just read last HP book - not the sauce one

If they'd asked Readers Digest they would have found Lord Lucan, Shergar and Bin Laden years ago!
30 years ago I worked with an old boy who every time he got something from readers digest he would go down to the Fab shop and get as big a piece of steel plate cut as would fit in the reply envelope hoping they would get stung for excess postage, little victories as Fletch would say. (Porridge for the youngsters)
