in I won! I won! I won!
Arghhhh! :(

I won this competition back in June. The owner of the blog emailed me asking me for details of my blog. I advised I did not have a blog so she told me I could not be the winner and it was her fault for not checking. I have sent numerous emails and a facebook message and no reply. I sent another message today and received a reply that she had since drawn another winner.

Should I just forget this or is there anyway I can report her?

Thanks guys

    Note: Mandatory options are following me on Bloglovin and Twitter, you MUST complete both of these options to ensure you enter correctly. All other entry options are optional :)

    Do you follow on Bloglovin?

    Depends what the rules said before you entered. If they said you needed to have a blog then I guess you will just have to leave it. If it didn't say that in the rules I would be annoyed as hell.

    Did you follow her on Bloglovin? That's what she has in her note underneath the comp, so I am guessing it's a T and C. xxx

    I know that some bloggers are getting strict with who enter their giveaways as they only want other bloggers to enter not people who have accounts just for comping.

    However if its not stated in T&C I don't see why you can't claim the prize, only less like others have said you haven't followed her via Bloglovin. x
    2013 Wins :heart:Chicken Rub Rub, OSMO Berber Oil Collection, iPad Mini :j Versace Bright Crystal Perfume, Bloom and Blossom’s Facial Spritz, Hot Galaxy Warm Heart Hamper, Beauty goodies (Blog).

    No, but it states you have to follow on Bloglovin... I don't have/do Bloglovin... so the question is - to follow on Bloglovin - do you need to have a blog? It was stated that the winner had to follow on Bloglovin... so can you do that without having a blog? If yes, and OP followed on Bloglovin, then the prize should have been theirs. If no, then it was stated in the rules, and the entry would not be valid.

    No, you do NOT have to have a blog to follow on Bloglovin. Please get in touch with Edwin Mutton on the details provided above. He is the go-to man. :)
