    Im not entirely sure the "16 year old innocent school girl" was such an innocent party...800 new followers and i know ill pop my telephone number on my twitter and make obscene comments....i removed her straight away (im a mum, i dont wish to read what she was putting anyway) so no not a bully, it just became incredibly apparant that there was no competition and both parties in my opinion were to blame...
    caused no problem to me, i just unfollowed :)

    It turned out to be a FAKE comp.. the User who offered the IPAD has since had their account closed (again), leaving the young lady to pick up the mess!

    She said her sister picked the winner (who just happened to have her sister as a friend).. this is why she was getting hassle.

    As for people picking on her, many on MSE defended her and gave the original poster (paparazziUK) a load of hassle. But again its seems that people are making stories up about users..

    it is a good lesson learn .. I would stay away from these kind of comps in the future .. in any case I should have thought of the element of biaseness as this was run by an individual and not a company. It all got messed up when Papparazi asked her to chose a winner .. doesn't make sense .. I always thought it was Papparazi who was going to chose on a random basis .. she would ofcourse give it to her friend (i.e. if it would have been geniune .. why the hell would she chose any one of us ) .. really stupid
