Scam page on twitter

raindaisy

K E Technology on twitter...think this is a scam site. great prizes always ends on Monday or Friday..no date Monday and Friday come and go and no winner. Have only seen one winner posted and its not in blue like usual or with @ her name was 'Sarah'.
I dont know how to check them out.

Maybe they were sent a DM rather than announced on their twitter page?

I've been watching these myself, they do seem a bit dodgy, i messaged them a few weeks back asking who had won as i would like to congratulate but they never replied to me.

hmmm that is rather dodgy that they didn't reply to you.

i thought they still had to announce who had won even if they had sent a dm?

See exactly what you mean! One to unfollow for me I think! Is there anything anybody can do about things like this though? I've seen a few lately that seem to be scammy competitions.

No legal requirement to do so and they could go the route of send them a SAE and they will provide the name and county of the winner (which is pointless as they could say J Smith London etc and it proves nothing)

Ah yes just taken a little look and unfollowed too - this post on 17/10

Well done to our competition winner )) enjoy! and thanks for following and retweeting us good luck everyone

Which winner would that be then? And two people have asked who won, and no reply!!!

Goodbye KE Technology

They're also connected to K.E Lighting and The Space Shop (@TheSpaceShop1).

It does have the hallmarks of sounding too good to be true - small company, big and regular prizes, no formal announcement of winners names.

I can only assume they're doing this to amass numbers of followers on Twitter. Oddly enough, they don't run the same competitions on their Facebook page which whilst it has been up for a few years, has only amassed likes in the double digits.

The picture on their contact us page of the woman has been stolen from microsofts page. Definitely looks dodgy to me and too many websites these days with no contact information at all.
