Free is free, can't complain at that...

What Liam said. Claimed.

Not exactly free, they've now got all your details, personal data that most try to protect from being sold on suckers

Having unchecked all the boxes, and having only disclosed my email and address, I'm not fussed. My spam filter is excellent, and I wouldn't mind getting some post for a change!!  :lol :lol :lol

That's true, bbb, but I selected to receive no marketing whatsoever, and I used a unique email address. If anything ever arrives at that address, I will know exactly which bunch of sewer dwelling scum sold it on :-)

Thanks for sharing mate, I've claimed one too.  8)

Sorry guys but not strictly true, just watch your junk mail coming through email and the post. Do you actually think because you ticked a box or gave different email addresses your safe. I'm in IT security and know the tricks that get played. You get nothing for free but in this case a cheap rag neck tube, you did give your name and address for delivery confirming you exist. The data protection act is widely ignored and I make a pretty good living providing security solutions. These offers are designed for the gullible..... I bet you have a firewall, anti virus software etc to protect against this sort of data leakage.......but do feel free to give it away for a shitty bit of cloth

Hey, it's a FREE shitty bit of cloth!  :lol :lol

Anyway, they can spam me as much as they like via email and post - I'll never buy anything anyway!!  :rollin :rollin

[midden]

our details are out there anyway from so many sources so may as well get a shitty bit of cloth aswell.

[noggythenog]

Talking of shitty cloth




I recycle my old boxer shorts, cut them down the middle & woola 2 neck tubes & i use the fly as an opening for the lead on my hands free kit.

[Exupnut]

Pikey foccer lol

[Dead Eye]

The details I provided were somewhat less than accurate. The email address is no longer used apart from for things like this, my address is temporary (only going to be here for another 5 months) and the name I used was false

I have some faith that their privacy policy is accurate in that "my details" will not be sold on outside of Suzuki and its subsidiaries but I wouldn't be surprised if they were - not that it matters

[DryRob]

Guess owning an SV now has one advantage, my bike will match my shitty bit of cloth. It's a Suzuki as well.

[richfzs]

Sorry guys but not strictly true,

What isn't true? Calling me a liar? The email address I used is unique, supplied for this one offer, never to be repeated. Yes, I used my real, physical, house address, but then I want the fucking neck tube, so to do otherwise would be self defeating.

(actually I couldn't give a rats arse about the neck tube, just want to see if they follow through on the offer, without selling info on)

As I said, if they sell the details on, I'll know exactly who did it, and they'll have to explain themselves to the information commissioner. Of course, that assumes they sell the email address. Sell the postal address? In this day and age? The only place I  get snail mail spam from, is bmw, think they're going to sell me a new car :rollin

[DryRob]

Anybody got theirs yet?

[dcurzon]

not yet

[cfoley]

Don't think you are going to either. They have updated their offer:


[color=rgb(255, 255, 255)]This offer is for invited persons only. We recently contacted selected Suzuki customers inviting them to complete an entry form to qualify for a free neck tube. This offer was compromised and promoted outside of the qualifying audience. If you have received the original email from us directly and complete the form you will receive a free neck tube. All entrants outside of this audience will not qualify for the offer.[/color][/size]
