Competitions Discussion Thread Part 14

frenchie79

I had exactly the same happen but i didn't argue the xbox as i had already checked their list of prizes and realized they couldnt have meant a ps3 as is not on their prize list (and very few win such a good prize from this game). husband dissapoined but will sell to help pay off overdraft even if its a lot less value....try and look on the positive, it's still money/gift that you otherwise wouldn't have and they were very quick to contact me and arrange next day delivery (turned up today). would be interested to hear if they would honor a ps3 though if challenged!!

The terms and conditions state the Xbox as a prize...so i gather you will only receive the xbox - hope that helps

It's a bit like the recent Robinson's comp, every bottle said 'Win a laptop', but the prizes were netbooks.

Im not sure if this is the correct place to post, so sorry if not. Have entered loads of F/b comps and have yet to win any. I realise there are loads of entries but wondered if I am doing anything wrong.

1. I always "like" the page of whoever does the competition.
2. I share the competition but dont usually comment when I share,(mainly because I dont know what to say) so thought maybe this is where i am going wrong.
3. I comment "liked and shared" under the picture and if there is anything else that can be "liked" I do so.

I am a bit confused about on which page you should like and share, ie newsfeed, profile or after I have clicked on the picture so help here would be appreciated.

Can anyone tell if theres anything other than these things that I should be doing, because when I check the Winners Circle on several occasions the same names appear as winners. Sorry I dont wish to appear jealous, I am really pleased for these people but would just love to see my own name. TIA

I have been lucky enought to win a few things on FB and I never share ( I always skip). I just like the company offering the prize and if required complete the form which sometimes pops up when you press enter. I won a phone and they told me they had over 1000 entries so it was really just luck. Keep presevering and the wins will come, honestly.:)

Thank you, so sharing isn't actually necessary, well that makes it a bit easier so do you actually need to comment ie "liked and shared" or "liked"?. Obviously if it says its a requirement I would but notice many people do it for all the comps.TIA

I've just posted on this thread re deleting dupes.I mean no offence & it seems a rare event but I think we need to be watchful as duplicate entries may take place.I've posted dupes,as have many,but please do not delete them after the merge.

Hi guys,

Just googled my name and have found my name and full address on an internet site along with LOADS of others.

This is definitely through a competition as part of my e-mail is showing and it's my comping address.

Any advice as to what i can do? Not sure if i can do anything really?!? There is a "report abuse" button which i'm going to click on!

I've come across this too - not sure if it's the same one as the one I have found has mobile numbers? There are hundreds maybe thousands of people's details, names, emails add's and mobile numbers. It's a cached page from the New Look site.

Anybody having problems getting on to Twitter today - keeps saying my details are wrong, which i know they are not -
Not sure if it is because I am using a different laptop, and my blackberry as a modem. (Some comp wins come in really useful. I'm away from home got all "I can eat data for £15 + £5 data premium" for a month - I'm a happyish bunny" if only I can get back on to twitter, and do some more comps from there) + the connection is as quick as my broadband at home, and that is supposed to be 10 mgb - I'm going to have to be checking that out when I get back!!!!!
