Looks Like another scam has been found

  • Reading all of this i feel a little guilty :o

    I posted several comps (Fb) for a local company, then won one of their prizes.
    I live only minutes away from them.
    There were other winners though who lived a little further afield, but i've always wondered if i won because of my close proximity to the company.
    They even delivered the prize by hand
    The first time we said hello, was the first time we said goodbye. As the angels took your tiny hand and flew you to the sky-you forever left us breathless. RIP my beautiful granddaughter :(

    They awarded the prize to their accountant or past accountant

    They seem to be removing all comments and blocking people now so may not see the evidence people were posting that it was their accountant

    A little follow up the ASA found against the company, with the usual result.

    The competitions must not be run again in their current form. We told Online Home Retail to ensure that any future promotions complied with the requirements of the Code
