Skillens Competition [text deleted by forum team]

Options
Don't know if you're aware but there was a competition on the Skillens Facebook page to win a diamond ring. Yesterday they announced their winner, but the winner actually posted thanking everybody as Skillens!!! She was logged into their account so she obviously works for them & she must have forgotten that she was logged into the Skillens account instead of her personal one! Someone managed to take a screenshot of it here:

    Wow, thanks for sharing. I hadn't seen this as I avoid the 'like and share' comps like the plague because they are so open to abuse by cheats, both on the entrant side and the company side.

    They are against Facebook rules and it says a lot about the people running the company if they can't follow basic rules.

    In this case running the competition via an app probably wouldn't have affected the outcome anyway. It's disgraceful if true. It makes you think about how often this happens, I can only hope it's very seldom!
  • Yep it does make you wonder how often these things happen & most of the time they'll not get found out.

    The comment has been removed and strangely the winner is now nowhere to be seen, neither of her daughter's are about now either.
    They were calling everyone bad losers yesterday. Oooops! :cool:
