Advice on a no show win please :(

ozma83

I don't get it though - I don't trust people easily but why would they even tell you you've won if it was completely a scam? They could just get people to enter and then just not give out the prize - who is going to find out?

It sounds more to me that she's not very clever and maybe messed up something and now wants to cut contacts with you after lying about posting replacements (that was a total porky pie....). In any case for any win I usually allow waaay more than just 2 weeks for the prize to arrive - sometimes it takes a month - so maybe she panicked but the prize might still turn up.

You have the screenshot and competition post so in the worst case scenario you can go to ISP and the competition people will have to cough up - or own up to their actions and get into even more trouble.

Thanks Savemoney, not sure what this means though. Sending my sympathies for your sad loss.

I messaged @BeckyMaslen this morning again as I noticed she'd tweeted a few minutes earlier and got no response. She has been tweeting since I messaged her the last time so I think she ignored my first - and now my second message. I won the shoes on the 4th May so it's been almost 4 weeks now, I would still not be worried if she hadn't said she's posted them 3 weeks ago (the first parcel that she said she's claiming for against Royal Mail) and the second parcel which she sent last Friday and she said I should receive it the next day although I can't remember how she said she sent them (I think she said recorded but the email has disappeared from my facebook account)

I'm going to give it a few more days before I contact the ISP just in case she contacts me or the shoes turn up. Thanks for all your support, it really helps to share my frustration.

Like someone said before, we can all write on the page about it? After all the last post I see is about your win, so if nothing else it will make them ashamed of themselves... :P

I would be very grateful for any support any of you can show on the facebook page or via Twitter, not sure it will do any good but anything is worth a try xxx

I am surprised that Royal Mail accept a claim after 2 weeks, I'm sure your item has to be lost at least 4 weeks to claim.

I would go straight to the ISP about this as what she has said doesn't add up.

Also I'd print out a copy of the page where it mentions you've won the comp ....
Hope they sort it out soon!

You're all right, it doesn't ring true at all. I've managed to message her on facebook as well now as my messages from her reappeared after I'd sent her a friend request - which I doubt she'll accept!

I've taken screenshots of the competition and the announcement of me as the winner, I've also taken one of the messages on fb where she tells me she posted the 2nd pair of shoes last week in case the messages vanish again. I learnt to take screenshots especially

I'm going to give her over the weekend to respond as I've asked her to let me know which postal service she used and for the tracking number.
