POW draw emails FAKE?, by osc on Dec 10, 2008 1:18:26 GMT 1, Just looking through all the post and there is something not quite right. Far too many peope winning double prints and for ones they didn't enter for.
Or is POW having major technical problems but not seen any posts re that?
I've also won a Bethlehem and Lovemaker and apparently one email said the Banksy...... somehow I doubt this.
I'm not giving any credit card details until I know what's going on.
Any thoughts?

POW draw emails FAKE?, by osc on Dec 10, 2008 1:27:00 GMT 1, Except the email I later got was very unconvincing:
"Please ignore the winning link send to you for the 'Lovemaker' print; this was sent in error as you had already won a 'Bethlehem' print.
Regards,
Technical Team."
I hadn't 'won' one. They said I missed out on winning but qualified to 'buy' one.
Another friend got the same email.
Also there is NO mention on the POW site about technical problems - I would say this is a pretty major problem.

POW draw emails FAKE?, by osc on Dec 10, 2008 1:45:42 GMT 1, Looked through threads and can't see anyone who has spoken to Simon on the phone unless I've missed it as there are lots of posts!
Remember it's easy to fake the 'from' address in an email and mask URL links.
I might be wrong... which would be great.
I'll have to try and speak to someone at POW tomorrow to confirm as while many emails may be legit, some may not.

POW draw emails FAKE?, by bullet on Dec 10, 2008 2:07:26 GMT 1, how would a scammer get an email that is not even in the POW system then, yet that email gets a winning ticket.
thats a pretty good guess if it is a scam.
There will always be those that are cynical, its a british thing you knowwww. tally ho.
