Have you sold my email address to Wowcher?

[TiggyD]

I have never received spam emails from them before then within days of Mumsnet doing a deal with them I get 2 spam mails. Co-incidence?

[KateSMumsnet]

We never sell your email address. Brownies promise.

So it probably is just a bizarre co-incidence.

[BrianButterfield]

I noticed that as well, and I did wonder.

[TheSkiingGardener]

I've not had anything from Wowcher

[littlemefi]

Me too

[BluelightsAndSirens]

Not me

[Rooneyisalwaysmoaning]

maybe wowcher have stolen them?

[ThePathanKhansAmnesiac]

Mn has had a break in!

[EauRouge]

I stupidly signed up to Wowcher, not realising it was rubbish, and I've clicked 'unsubscribe' three bloody times now and the emails keep coming

[HelenMumsnet]

OK, I can only repeat what KateMN has said.

We would NEVER give/sell your email addresses to a third party without your express permission.

We arranged the Wowcher thingie through a third party, so we don't even have a contact person at Wowcher to sell/give the email addresses to, even if we wanted to - which we don't.

All we can think is that Wowcher, being a new outfit and all, has cunningly bought up huge numbers of lists of email addies from those companies that flog them - and is flooding everyone's inbox that way.

But it ain't us. Honest injuns.

[TiggyD]

Ok. I believe you.

[BoreOfWhabylon]

Me too. Every day since the ads started running, and to an email address I only use for MN and a couple of other forums.

I believe MNHQ, but it's a mystery how Wowcher got hold of my email.

[DontEvenThinkAboutIt]

You have to send an email and ask that your details are completely removed from any databases that they may have and ask them to confirm that they have done so. Unsubscibing is not always enough.

[FiercePanda]

Late to the thread, but I'm another MNer who's suddenly had emails from Wowcher to my MN email address. Could the third party between MN and Wowcher have sold the details on? I've never used Wowcher in my life, and I'm getting spam-type emails from them since the button's been on MN.

[misslaughalot]

Another one here, got my first unsolicited email from Wowcher today, to the email address I use for MN

[iclaudius]

I got one too

[MisForMumNotMaid]

I have a mumsnet email address its mumsnet@ 'my own domain'.co.uk. I create new for each thing i subscribe too I can then see exactly who sells my email address and block that address.

I feel left out I haven't had a wowcher email. Maybe they have heard how tight i am?

[valld]

Hi there valld - we're afraid we can't help you with this issue. You'll have to get in contact with Wowcher directly. This is Mumsnet, and we're not connected to Wowcher.

Their contact details are on this page.
