  • Same happened to me last night, it's my personal fb. Had to verify photos, then this morn had to put a code that they texted me in. There a group on Facebook called 'conned by competitions'. Somebody has said on there that there is around 30 compers she knows alone who have been affected by this. Somebody said on there that it could be another comper doing it?. They be there awhile!. Maybe it's fb clamping down on all the liked and shared comps.
    Thank you to all the posters
    :j:T:rotfl::rotfl::T:j
    Good luck to all the compers.:T

    Me too but I couldn't identify anyone because the pics were all from products etc from shares!!

    How the hell do you identify anyone from a Lancome photo !!!!!!.
    No idea how I'm gonna be able to sort it if that's what they carry on giving me :eek:

    Me too. I thought it was just me. I hadn't a clue on the first 2 pics but luckily managed the others ok so my account is now fine. I would have been so annoyed if it had been blocked like some of you.

    This happened to me too. I was lucky enough to guess most of the tags as they were all from competitions so no telling which one of my friends they were!
