    do they enter with the same email addresses, cant they be caught?
  • The most maddening thing about certain cheats is that they complain about other people cheating :mad:

    And on the subject of 'cheats' - some of them are just vile. Reading certain things yesterday made me ashamed to be a woman. Men just don't seem to get involved. Why is it the women who are so vile and catty?

    I agree there! I wonder if you know which page I'm on about! (Don't want to advertise it as I'm not sure what position that would put me in!).

    Found out more details on this Novotel- people were advertising the vouchers as they were generic and you didn't actually need to 'spin to win' you could just download it. This is a perfect example of what I'm saying:

    "ON THE CONFIRMATION PAGE YOU CAN REFRESH AND PUT MULTIPLE EMAIL ADRESS ITS SENDS A VOUCHER TO EACH"

    "I'm downloading 10 different browser apps, 4 goes on each, then delete and reinstall. repeat"

    then people are saying they're going to complain if they can't use the voucher as they won it by using the spinner even though it was won through cheating :mad:

    Mmmmm - I've always been a bit suspicious of the same old people popping up on FB saying they've won again. I know we all have our lucky streaks but no one's that lucky are they?

    I've been reading the winner's circle a lot this week and it's surprising how often the same names pop up.

    I can't be bothered/wouldn't want to spend more than 2 mins spinning the jelly one never mind messing around faking things to make multiple entries that are not allowed.
  • Ah a loophole. Problem is I'd have to register on F-!!!!-Book.
  • Sometimes it doesn't matter how many times you enter and you still don't win. Sometimes you enter just once and you win it all.. If the cheaters can be bothered with downloading 10 browsers, registering countless number of emails and FB accounts, they probably want this prize so desperately, just let them have it, maybe it will make their life a bit better lol

    I wouldn't call it a loophole, more like cheating as people are deliberately going out of their way to trick the system.

    I blame the companies for providing poor comps that can so easily be hacked, and then not caring who wins and how many times they win.
    A good company like Citroen monitor how things are going and check the scores.

    Ultimately though a badly managed comp gives a company a bad name and bad publicity to boot, so more fool them.
