Or if they PM'd the winner via facebook rather than just posting their name on their wall and asking them to email XXXX to claim their prize - anyone could send the email claiming to be the winner - as proved from above!

I believe that they struggle to email people and that it either does not send or goes into 'others' folder, this is to stop companys spamming our inboxes, anyway what this person is doing/done is disgraceful and I hope she receives the correct punishment!

Would it help tagging your own name into any comp comments?
If she's guilty I hope they throw the book at her

She's on my list as just Nikki Nemo so that's another profile. Blocking her

Hmm the story has been deleted

hhhhhhmmmmmm i have to say my facebook page is getting stupid now. its full of people liking and sharing comps that look really fake.

I gave up like and shares ages ago and this is one of the reasons. It is a very unreliable way to run a competition to say the least.

I am so much more selective now. There seems to be loads of companies listing one comp after another or several all at once and no winners are ever mentioned??? To be honest - I don't know why I bother with Facebook anymore as I still cringe every time I press the 'share' button thinking I might get a warning or locked out from my account. I used to enjoy chatting with friends on there but now that enjoyment has gone. I had a friend on facebook last year whom I really thought was genuine - she told me she had kidney cancer and I believed her and supported her and even helped her choose the colour of wigs that might suit her as she told me she was loosing her hair due to chemo! A few months later I found out she was a fake - her name, all her profile pics, her stories and everything were stolen or made up! I was shocked but felt so gulliable. Now I trust hardly anyone on there. Too many liars, cons, cheats - and that includes companies too!

OMG thats awful! People are really odd and do strange things sometimes but that is crazy.

I am not naming names because I dont even know if the person was a he or a she or what their real name was in the end. But I was friends with them for around a year and told them lots of personal stuff about me - which I obviously now regret doing! I was convinced they were genuine so was so upset and shocked when I found out they were completely false!

It totally ruins the comping hobby, it's supposed to be fun and when cheating is involved it spoils it for everyone.

I can't imagine how I'd feel if I found out someone falsely claimed my prize. It is absolutely disgusting and makes me so angry.

Must say I was shocked reading this today..seems she has even altered bank statements to claim wins....one of her identities was on my friends list but isn't anymore!
