    I dont understand why the anger here. They seem like a small company suddenly overwhelmed, and unless anyone has evidence otherwise seem to be honoring the competition. Just because we dont know the person who won does not make them dodgy.

    Perc - Thank you, you have hit the nail on the head.


    We are not some massive company like dell or HP, and the initial idea was to simply build up a facebook profile. We have had a page for sometime now so its not just some popup Facebook 'scam'. I will admit, no one know how much this would blow up as much as it has. We could have just said, sod it and pulled the plug but we are a honest company and have no intention of turning round and saying "that computer you just won, well you cant have it now". Granted, giving out several grands worth of computer in a short space of time is a lot but it just means that I will have to eat cheap pasta for the next month!

    I'm sorry, but anyone with a bit of sense would have put a maximum for the amount of comps to be given away if it's a struggle. Unless of course you didn't intend on giving that many away.

    People here are not jealous. We just want genuine competitions, and not to be wasting our time being scammed. I'd say it's far too much of a coincidence for a Ken Taylor, and people with the surname Aston to be both a competition winners and a person who works for your firm. Then there's James, so that's 3 winners who are suspect.
    There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.
  • and one of the new winners Jack Attewell just happens to be friends with the other winner James Johnson
    If I cared what everyone else thought, I'd be just like everyone else, and there's already too many of them. :A
  • THE WORDS DESPICABLE AND SICK spring to mind

    AND as for MR DIRECTOR - May i suggest he is duly BANNED from here

    We don't need frauds like him!

    My completely normal comment was removed... why? I can only assume it was because it sort of made reference to winners/people not existing? (I said that if I won, I'd be happy to go around and prove I existed)
