    I have a very uncommon name and there is another person with the same name on FB. I was suspicious but then they had photos up and people had commented so I guess maybe there are just two of me. :o

    I'm really sorry to everyone whose prizes have been claimed by someone else. :( Some people just don't have any morals. :(

    As the person who claimed your prize has done this fraudulently, the company should report it to the police.
  • I have just found someone on facebook who has had a handbag prize stolen by the person in one of the links further up this thread! So sounds like she is still at it.

    This person clearly doesn't have a conscience. It's theft! :(

    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!

    Agreed. I by chance googled my name one day to check for things like this and found out I had won a comp for some T-Shirt on FBook. Put my name up but didn't bother to tag me in it or contact me to tell me I had won.
