The best thing to do would be to call them and see before clicking on anything.

I never received an email like that, but then again I already have a "Today's Parent" subscription. Maybe you are lucky and won one, but I would contact SDM or Today's Parent to make sure! Just in case!

i didnt

I didn't get this email but I already have a subscription anyway. Definitely call them first before you put your card number.

I googled 'shoppers drug mart todays parent' and this link came up: http://www.weewelcome.ca/en/node/32511

Sounds legit but since it required an 'essay' answer, wouldn't you remember entering? It was a long time ago too which seems strange that you would only be contacted about it now...

I got an email like this today, saying the contest was conducted from February 28th until March 6th, 2009....
Pepse...was it legit ??

[Littlemoe0]

Received the email as well, think it was around that time that I signed up for the optimum card.

I just got the same email and I am on hold with Shoppers now to find out if it is legit....to be continued....

[harbie]

Oh crap! I just got off the phone with SDM and they are looking into it????? They are not aware of this promo but they have word into their "supervisor" and they suggest calling back in a few days.

[Insane]

I got the email too.
crap, it looked legit, so I clicked on the link. It didn't ask for password or postal code or anything, so I don't think they can steal my pts. Gonna wait to send in the declaration form!

vib is associated with today's parent. looking more and more legit.

Don't worry its not that big of a deal, its not like you put any BIG information on the return form except your name and optimum card number and that you showed you can do math. If you are missing any optimum points then just report it to Shoppers Drug mart again

Too funny! I just got this e-mail too. I tried to call SDM and they are closed to the night. I was thinking of posting on SC to see if anyone else got it and low and behold I found this thread....

What made me suspicious is that it asked for my optimum number (SDM should have it), there are no SDM, VIB or Today's Parent's logos. Very weird.

[Jamie1988]

Well I definitely don't think anyone is stupid for entering this thing. If they entered their SIN number..then they would lol...its really fixable if ya call shoppers tomorrow ...if you lose some points then keep track of your last point balance and let shoppers know. In my opinion this is a mild situation compared to the other fraud out there..just call shoppers tomorrow and think positive
