Had a bad incident recently that I really can't stand it that I've to send it to Today papers. Hope they'll publish it and let everyone knows this. Below is my article :-

I seldom enter lucky draws as I always feel I'm never lucky but while waiting for my hubby to fill it up at QBHouse after our hair cut, I might as well do so, too. Two weeks later, I actually got a call, telling that I've won a consolation prize! At first I thought it was just another of those survey or time-sharing calls tricking us to go and listen to their talks by telling us that we won a prize. But when the caller actually mentioned they are calling on behalf of QBHouse, I actually believed it as I really did enter the draw! Thinking that for once, I'm actually going to win a prize, I was so overjoyed that I've forgotten all the details of the draw and not paying attention to the caller except on the prize! She actually mentioned that as the grand prize has already been given out, this is a special consolation draw especially for couples and that my hubby and me have to go down that very evening to get the prize! She was so kind as to let me call my hubby first to seek his approval. I immediately called him to tell about the good news. He agreed to go down but questioned me as if why does he have to go down together with me if it's really a real prize and that why must it be that very day? I pondered and started having a lot of queries. I immediately called QBHouse to check with them if their draw has already been drawn and they replied it hasn't. I've even checked with them who's their lucky draw sponsor and they actually told me it's a company called "Data Dynamics". At that very moment, I actually passed a QBHouse branch at Plaza Singapura and there it was, a big poster showing the end of draw will end in February! (They called me on the last week of January!) Just then, my phone rang and it was the lady who said that "I've won". I actually questioned her that was it true that the draw has been drawn and she still said yes. I've told her I've actually called QBHouse and the in-charge actually said it wasn't. This time she changed her story and told me that it was just a first part of the draw and there was actually two lucky draws. Then I questioned her again on the company that she was calling from and she replied it was on behalf of QBHouse and the sponsor of the the lucky draws. I immediately questioned the company's name and she replied it's Global Travel. By then, I already realised it's a hoax, or should I say, just a trick to make me go to the company and wanted to put down the phone. She insisted that they are the authorised sponsor. But I don't believe and wanted her manager to call me. Immediately, I called QBHouse again and checked with them what does this Data Dynamics company do, and they replied data entries. At that moment, I realised maybe this Data Dyanmics has sold my "data" to the Global Travel! Just then, the manager called me up and explained to me again that they are the authorised sponsor and the prize is a real prize. I told him about the conversation that I've had with QBHouse and after hearing it, he actually said, in that case, thank you and bye bye!!! What is this? After hearing the truth, the manager don't dare to talk to me anymore? Or is it that they got my data illegally or wrongfully that they got worried? I mean, I've actually entered a lucky draw hoping to win a prize and not passed my details to all other companies! Likewise at a bank, they still need to get our consensus if they want to pass our information to other companies, and we can actually signed a letter to stop all that. But at a lucky draw, is there any small prints to show that they can just pass our information around or is it that once we've entered a lucky draw, we are giving consensus to all that?
