Hi all, I have been informed this is the Scramble thread so I wanted to say this...

Look, you all have the wrong impression of me, you all seem to hate me and I want to clear this up.

FYI, I'm the PSP guy, and you may have noticed that my tweets have been going up and down lately. In fact, I lost around 20 tweets in total due to fake accounts being deleted. So why do you all have a grudge against me?

P.S I have no idea if the camera person, claire is here, but good luck to her.

aww bless, thanks for your good luck message !! no nastiness from me here lol, gutted your beating me though obviously but hoping you can vote for the camera when I list it again out of guilt lol !! feel free to get all your friends to vote for it too to lessen that guilt even more pmsl !!! cheeky moo aint I !! I think now all the fake accounts have gone scramble should be a fairer place to be. Fingers crossed we have lots more winners. Oh and suppose I best go tweet your psp now hey, have to conceed defeat at some point lol !!!!

If the rules for a competiton are not followed when choosing a winner do you have grounds to complain?

Because the other entries are available to be seen in the public domain along with mine.

Hi there, not sure if this is the right place to post this.
My 15 year old daughter entered a competition on Facebook and has had a wem from Fresh Academy stating she has won this prize:-

"Hi There
After entering the competition to be The Face of the Hair Group, you have been successfully selected, and invited to attend a session within our studios to shoot your entry photographs. The session consists of full hair styling and make up application, then the photo shoot in our spacious and modern studio. Our studio is located in Watford Hertfordshire, and we require you to attend the session with the particular entry outfit of a plain white T shirt and blue denim jeans. There is also the opportunity to build up a portfolio, which will be required for later stages of the competition. If you do not have one already, this is a great opportunity to build one up, as the whole session is completely free of charge. The session will last approximately two to three hours if you are having extra shots taken, and we are currently booking sessions throughout July and August.

If you haven’t booked in for your session yet, please give me a call on 01923 212673. When you call to book you will be required to pay a £30 booking deposit which will be refunded after your session. Under 18’s must be accompanied by a parent/ guardian, and if you are under 18, please make sure you call when a parent is also available to speak to us.

For further information please visit our website https://www.freshacademy.com, or the competition website https://www.faceofthehairgroup.co.uk.

Look forward to hearing from you soon

From what I have read on thier website, I get the feeling that the prize only includes hairdressing and a photo shoot. What I am concerned about is, will my daughter have to pay for the photo's thats produced?
Have told my daughter to email them back asking "What EXACTLY is included in the prize?".
Just wondering if any MSE'ers have had any experience with this company?
Any help?
Thanks

I think this is posted in the wrong section, but hopefully one of the more experienced compers will move it.

To be honest I would not do this at all...having to pay up front is a big no no, and I think you will have to pay for the photos...and these sort of places can get very pushy. I'd avoid anything to do with photoshoot competitions...they are usually a con.

Sorry

oops, think this should be posted in comps disc, will pm a BG requesting to move

hi everyone,

decided to try again with my ice cream maker on scramble!

Someone on loquax mentioned these:

Claims are only valid if the winner's name and address are on the electoral roll. It is the winner's responsibility to ensure their contact details on the site are correct and up-to-date.

Also if there are 33 options for each of the 3 numbers then u have a 1 in (33 x 33 x 33) chance of winning which is 1 in 35937 of being right :shocked:

I'm so sad at their decision to go with the spam merchants. Ipc sites are one of the few who have comps open to Ireland
