Hi ,
please be careful entering competitions on Facebook! i posted up the m.a.f.i.a.bikes comp the other day and entered. Today i was picked as one of 3 comments to be voted to win. someone commented saying voting was unfair , to which i liked!
Then they suddenly announced i wanted to leave the competition so the winner was comment 1 .
I was winning with 61 votes number 1 had 42 and the 3rd comment has 3 !!! ~ they simply removed me to let their fave win . I have screen shots of both post and kept personal messages the page has sent , reported it to IPM but dont hold out much hope as Di Coke stated they didnt have any T & C so dont really have a leg to stand on .
Moral of the story is be very careful entering FB wall comps with no T&C !!!
They are currently running a comp but i would avoid like the plague after today .

Thanks - I never entered this one as I had a funny feeling about it - I think the name of the company is unsettling - that is my opinion anyway x:TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea0

Sounds like they haven't been running their competitions in a Facebook approved way! You can't run competitions that ask for likes. Report them to Facebook and they will likely suspend the page.0
