My partner recently became a member of our local Xtra-Vision and supplied her home & work address.
The next time we rented a film out, it turned out that the store had entered her work address as our home one.
Recently, she has received 2 seperate letters at work that no other member of staff received and the Xtra-Vision connection is the only logical one we could come up with.
The first letter invited her to join "the official British National Lottery" syndicate giving her up to 420 chances to win €220 million all for "the special international fee of €15".
The second letter, received today, invited her to donate money to sick kids (she left it at work, so I can't give specifics until tomorrow).
I read through an application form for Xtra-Vision last night and it did indicate they reserved the right to pass information to other companies within the Group. Also, to tick a box if you didn't want to receive special offers ( which i think was ticked).
However, the first "offer" in particular would appear to be dodgy to me. Is it possible that Xtra-Vision is selling such information to "the bad guys"?
Anyone else experienced this?
