Comping on Twitter??

Hi just wanting to check has anyone else followed and RT GoGetSale on Twitter?? I have been following them since last friday and I'm receiving about 10 messages a day to RT their comps, just wondering if anyone is having the same problem and wondering if their really is prizes to be won??
Thanks :)

    I unfollowed them as they were spamming constantly. If they are sending you messages, I'd reply and tell them you no longer want them to contact you. x

  • Hi one Yorkshire lass, yes they are sending them all the time!! I'm going to take your advise nelie and tell them to stop and also unfollow them, Thank you X
  • I first followed them about 10 days ago and got so fed up of txts to my phone from twitter, from GoGetSale, about every half hour, I unfollowed them, couldn't find a way round to stop it other than to unfollow. If contacting them succeeds in stopping the spam from them could you let me know please.
  • Yeah sure I will hannahlw85, it is really annoying :-(

    Why are you getting texts to your phone?
    You might need to have a look at your twitter settings to stop this (or I could give you the mobile number of a PPI company who keep annoying me which you could replace your number with theirs :rotfl:)

    I also follow them but don't get texts although they do seem to tweet about their comps quite a lot.

    I follow them, but have not had any DMs from them.
  • I dont know why, I followed them exactly how I do anyone else, have the twitter app on my phone, and only have it set for a text to be sent if I get a DM, all the notification texts were not DMs, the settings were off for mobile notifications on their page, so I have absolutely no idea why I was getting so many. I tried playing around with settings but it made no difference, hence having to unfollow. Might try re-following to see if the same happens.
