    I am too wondering if it is someone one with a vendetta,(I really hope it isn't because that would be a sad individual) my facebook account has the 30 day ban, I have stopped using it now for anything other than logging in, and every single time I log in it is asking for the verification code.
    My account is in my name with my picture, not one of a dog etc.
    And my sister who is has just restarted comping after a 2 year gap has been banned too, she has only been comping for 1 day which isn't a good start after her break away! I tagged her in my posts a couple of times on that one day.

    And also we did use the Fashion Uk page that day, which we have both unliked now.

    Good point regarding friends

    It really is random. I dont share many comps at all, the odd one or two, but they are all app comps


    I liked and shared quite a lot in all fairness and hardly won a thing through them. I have however won on the app ones. But most of my wins, in regards to Facebook Likes, have come via Rafflecopters. And to be honest I don't even know if it was the Facebook entry that got me the win :rotfl:

    Personally I am still entering the Facebook competitions using the apps and have been all day. But its your call if you want to chance it or not.

  • So are people still doing rafflecopter ones? The ones that have already been entered using banned FB accounts?

    Just went on my security settings after getting another ban,and it says im logged in somewhere in felixstowe (which i'm not,i'm 200 miles away) and with a completely different ip address to the one i'm using.I know these are only approx locations but can they be that far out?

    Kippo, that's interesting, I haven't looked today but mine said Harpendon yesterday and I'm on the Isle of Wight.

    I'm a 30 dayer, I don't enter masses of comps and I don't win much. I didn't THINK I had any enemies. Maybe hacking is the answer...
    That ain't working! That's the way to do it, money for nothing and TV's for free ;)

    A page hosting a comp yesterday said that they were logged in from somewhere pretty far out too.
    I just cleared my browser, so think it might have cleared mine.
    I only have my last log on listed.
    Comping since Feb 2012.

    Best wins - Pram, £800+ Baby equipment, Big :eek: gadget bundle, Summer hamper, £500 worth Freeze 24/7 products, Sony Xperia Z, £200 worth tanning/beauty products.
