Smart or Eircom selling personal details?

muckwarrior · 2006-06-26 18:37:31

I just got a letter from "ElGordo Internacional Lotto Comision S.A." telling me that I've won €450,000 in teh Spanish Lottery... MY HOLE! When I signed up with smart they obviously entered my details wrong with the address being fυcked up but I never bothered to change it because the bill always got to me anyway. And guess…

It's seems like everyone who received the Lottery thing is a SMART customer?? Is this just a co-incidence?

I am an Eircom customer, never ex-directory, never removed from NDD, and I still didn't receive the Lottery mail!

Has anyone received the Lottery mail who is not a SMART customer?

Going by Sponge Bob's post it's more than plausible that even though it's smart customers that are affected the data may still have come from eircom.

Did you bother to read the thread? IrishTLRs girlfriend isn't a customer of Smart.

Indeed. Thank you Foxwood. Balming Smart or Eircom from the start is a little premature. For one thing, our sample size is too small to say wth certainty.

As far as my girlfriend is concerned, she is not named on the Smart account OR the Eircom old account at our current address. For this reason alone I don't think Eircom or Smart are at fault here.

Cheers for that, I moved to Smart & see that my new number is back in the directory. Just wondering do I contact Smart or Eircom to get it removed?

Contact Smart. They'll change it at their end, then eircom will take forever to do anything with the updated data Smart sends over - as usual.
