Facebook Like and Share Comps

Hi All
I have seen many comments on here about 'Like and Share' comps and how it has caused people problems getting banned etc. I do enter Facebook comps, but not the ones where you have to share, and still my Facebook is awash with rubbish!
I wondered if anyone has actually complained to the company doing the comp by sending them a message telling them that what they are doing is against Facebook rules? And if so did it work? (did they even respond?).
I just got a bee in my bonnet about it this morning when I saw a comp where I would have loved to win the prize, but it stipulated "like and share". I felt that I would really like to send them a message along the lines of "do you realize you are breaking the rules?".
Anyone ever done this?

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one

Previous long thread although it is no longer against the rules to have "like" as an entry requirement - they can say "share if you like" etc but the share should not be a requirement, although there is nothing to stop, by chance, only those who have shared being picked as winners.

Thanks for that (Did a search for "Like and Share" but obviously missed this!).
At least it's not just me who feels like that then. If I come across any more I think I will message them about it. Can't do any harm.
cheers
