      Good evening all,

      Have I just made a fool of myself?

      I entered the competition to win a Chester Conquest lathe in issue 4515. Not wanting to cut up the article on the back of the page I emailed my entry as per instructions.

      I am now being bombarded by confirmation requests. I confirmed the first two but they are still coming.

      Am I now going to receive all the spam in the world? It seems a bit off that this should happen with a published competition.

      Andy

          Did you state in your e-mail that you did not want to receive comunications from ME and MTM etc? It says if not it will automatically opt you in to getting them.

            Hello Andy,

            I'm assuming this is the dataeurope email route as the entry form sdoesn't appear to be up on this forum yet.

            I don't think the confirmation of your entry emails are the same as marketing emails – it sounds like something has gone wrong.

            I will let MTM know, but I fear the person who can sort this may not be back until the 24th

            You never know, you might win half a dozen lathes

            Has this happened to anyone else?

            Neil

              Hello chaps,

              I think that Neil has got it right Jason; as I said, they were requests for confirmation, not marketing adverts.

              They seem to have stopped now but 5 requests with two confirmation replies worried me a bit.

              I am already registered with ME and MTM so I wouldn't get any more than I already do (I would have thought).

              If I get more than one lathe please put the rest back in the pot angel 2

              Many thanks

              Andy
