Facebook winners thread
Hi I've won a few comps on Facebook recently but never seem to see my name mentioned on the thread it's not really important to me but it's handy to see if I've not been told direct on my messages.
Twitter comp query
Hi, looking for some advice on a twitter competition. I had a DM advising that I had won a prize and then a later one advising that I had to collect the prize in person. I have checked the original tweet and there is no mention of collection required. The prize is worth £100, should I just let it go or try and argue the…
Facebook Query
Hi All, Got an email from FB saying someone had tried to access my account. Didn't click the link but opened FB in a new tab and had to log in, go through security questions etc and reset password - all done no problem. When I got in though it just goes to a Page Manager page - all my posts, friends, apps, messages and…
Comps Ending 30/04
So, sitting here with nothing to do while waiting for the vet to phone (gotta go fetch my doggie), I decided just to have a look at the 30/04 comps. I counted up that of 1434 (please don't ask me to recount!) comps ending today, I have entered 536 (about 37%). It is quite clear to me that tomorrow morning I will have an…

Should I take it further...?
I had a tweet on the 25th of March from 'Andrew Ward' twitter to say I had won a haircare bundle and told me to DM them. I have now dm'd 3 or 4 times and tweeted but not a peep back? They are definitely on their twitter as they're still tweeting and annoucing other winners. Would you recommend I contact someone or leave…

What to do? Possible scam
This has now been resolved. Thanks!
Potentially missed prize
Have just googled myself and spotted that I won a canvas back in March on Facebook. The company did not tag me and I did not see the winners post - I follow so many pages that it must have got drowned out. Has anyone else had this as they had not been tagged? I've messaged the company running the comp to see if it's too…
Missing Winning Notifications on Facebook
What has facebook done? I am not receiving notifications when I am being tagged in a post saying I have won e.g. Dorset Tea and Smart Start Toys to name just two. I am also seeing increasing numbers of prizes not being claimed and wonder if this is the cause. Does anyone have any ideas or tips to ensure I don't miss any…
Soccer Sucker Win
Did anyone else win a soccer sucker prize? Just wondered if you had received the prize yet as I still haven't received mine :( xx
Rafflecopter / Twitter Link Question
Morning all! So... when I first started doing RC comps back in December, my RC worked fine with Twitter: it would, as with the FB links, give me a button to press to follow. For the last month or so, if I click the follow button for Twitter, it takes me to a Twitter webpage, where I have to click another button to follow.…

Why does this happen to some threads?
http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=4957006 Why is it with some competitions where it is really easy to win or in this case to get a chance to win do people find it necessary to post they have won on the thread? There is a 1/4 chance! I have asked nicely on the thread but still it is being bumped with…
