M&S Christmas Shoppers Beware

M&S are running a Christmas marketing scam, so beware if you too considered buying from their "Christmas & New Year Food To Order".

The small print on the order form explains they will use your personal info for:
* marketing of products, services, marketing research.
* anything else listed in online privacy policy.
* only possible to opt back out is to write to them, and allow 3 months for them to try and take your details of their lists.

Reminds me of the Phishing scam emails I get. Workaround is to cross through those terms before signing.

Southern Water are just as bad, last month to register for water at my new pad, they ask for my National Insurance number!

This is definitely something the UK should legislate against. Also something that M&S's Stewart Rose should have never let happen. Probably ORG would be good at lobbying for a change here.
