Default Email scam.
Apparently this email is going around in a bid to get Spencer voted out.

If you get it, don't fall into the trap and phone. Whether you are a Spencer fan or an Alex fan I am sure would want a fair eviction and not one that is rigged.

I think the people that start these sort of things are very sad and, to quote Brian, 'Evil'!!

I doubt the amount of calls they would get would actually make much impact on the vote. Not many people would bother ringing the number.

This is so childish - is there an Alex one too?

I wonder how many people do ring it up?? (I can't imagine lots of people, but still.......)

And aren't the 09011 numbers always for voting on TV shows - most people with sense would notice this, wouldnt they???

My mind boggles as to why they do it. Are the email scams connected with the mass betting they do at the bookies for the underdog?

Last week it was Jonny, wasn't it?, and he survived, so i guess they can't be that effective. Still, someones put time and effort to create that - why??????????

But Spencer is the favourite, so the bookies want him out to make a killing.

AND THEY WILL SUCCEED !!!!!

I agree - these scams are shocking and disgraceful.

Channel Four have set up a hotline to report them; call 09011 15 44 01 to help put a stop to them.

Very funny, Disco!!!

I would like Spencer to go, naturally. If Alex gets to stay, it will be a huge surprise for me!
