A Survey From Marks and Spencer

I got a survey request apparently from Marks and Spencer this morning. If I entered the survey, I would have a chance to win a prize of £10,000 in my local store.

That sounded generous and as it would be difficult to spend that in the local store at either the Islington or Hackney stores, my spam filter kicked in with a strong positive.

I then saw that it was sent to my old e-mail address and not the one I normally use and it also came from an e-mail address that didn’t shout Marks and Spencer.

But it looked very genuine and professional and even had an unsubscribe link. I clicked that and got a feasible unsubscribe page.

But in Italian!

I have since phoned marks and Spencer and they will investigate.

The e-mail address it came from had clash and clnews8 in the address.

If you get any from these jokers, use the delete key.
