Comp Complaints Still ASA?
I won £100 on a FB advent this week, except I didn't and I think I might complain. Years ago we had a Mr Mutton at the ASA who was fab at helping with that sort of thing but I know I'm a bit out of date. Does anyone know where we could lodge a problem with a comp? Also I'd appreciate your views on what happened. The page…

Radio Competition Captchas
I've been having problems with the captchas for radio competitions for a while now (the ones with multiple entries). It is driving me crazy and sometimes takes more than 5 attempts to get it right. I click on all the images that have fire hydrants/buses/cars ect. and it keeps telling me I got it wrong! Is this happening to…

Coca cola advent scan or win?
Hi all, I was wondering whether anyone else has had a similar email saying they are a winner of the Coca-Cola advent (I did enter them), and to click on a link and enter a code to redeem the prize. This then asks me to upload a copy of photo ID which does not sit well with me and feels like a scam.
Twitter

A warm fuzzy feeling
Hi everyone, I used to be a member about 5 years ago and it was my fave hobby ever. Due to loads going on, I stopped and I've only just joined again with a different username as I couldn't find previous details. I get a warm, fuzzy feeling by seeing familiar names, support and celebrations. I always remembered the sense of…
Competition Titles
Hi all, firstly apologies if this has gone around already, but is it just me or are people not creating full titles of what can be won. I'm seeing just one word titles on a lot of these new threads. Thanks
Common Names
I may be way off the mark, but I have a really common name (first name and surname!) and I do wonder if that can go against me in competitions..... I don't know why but feel it may go against me.
Stolen Twitter account
Just had notice that someone is using my name and profile picture to impersonate. They have claimed an Amazon gift card which I won yesterday. Please be aware and watch out.
Shadowban?
I got this link from Super Lucky Di's blog. It analyses your Twitter account to see whether you are at risk of being shadowbanned. I'm scoring in the 90s - so at low risk (apparently the lower your score (out of 100) , the more at risk you are. Has anyone else used this app and found it to be useful?…

Instagram comps
You seem to always have to tag a friend .Don't really want to tag people so any compers want to be my friend so I can tag you?
takeaway apps KFC, burger king etc
Are these worth installing? Anything worthwhile received via these- ad hoc offers, comps, or does it depend on building up purchase info? Wary as to what phone access they can get, and sell on.. Added a bit- Have been logging stuff bought on my Subway a/c (card, not phone), though any offers seem to be very short notice,…
