Hi, I'm a bit frustrated at the moment, I set up to have email notifications if someone tweeted me. I got an email at 6pm to say I'd had a tweet from FM104 saying I'd won the camcorder. I was so amazed!!!! Clicked the link to take me to the post and the post has been deleted :-( I've tweeted them twice in the last half hour but got no response and can't DM them :mad:

It's a geuine Irish radio show.

I wouldn't be so fussed if it was a small prize, but it's a camcorder!!! Any ideas on whether there's anything I can do?

Thanks in advance :(

    That's a good idea. Maybe I should leave it a while for them to get back to me? Don't want to annoy them and never get it!

    @FM104 @LucozadeIreland Thought @FM104 @LucozadeIreland competitions were for Ireland only ? The winner seems to be from the UK ?

    Seems you need to be in Ireland to win, maybe thats why they have removed the tweet? xx

  • Unfortunatly I think Nelie is right as the very first part of their terms and conditions states:

    1.1 Entry is open to residents of Republic of Ireland (ROI) unless otherwise specified.

    Hmm, maybe it is, there don't seem to be any terms on it though. If it is that you'd have thought they'd have tweet me to tell me .

    Thanks for your help :-)

    Yes, very good of them, it was sent from London and not Ireland, maybe that's why I got it, guess I'll never know.

    All that matters is I have a shiny camcorder (my 1st ever) to film my baby boy on :-)
