Depressing...

I've read the Facebook page but how did they win the contest? Did you have to like the page?

BFlying - it was a photography comp, so I'm guessing it was vote for your favourite photo. In the comments, they admitted to using special software for 'auto likes' on FB.

It makes me laugh that another of those commenting on the page/winner is also an 'outed cheater' who has at least five Facebook accounts.

I cannot see anything (T&C's) to stop them getting votes/likes however they wanted, if this is correct then they cannot have cheated?



Found what they had, so as long as the winner was a UK resident they did not cheat (act outside the rules)

Picture with MAXIMUM number of likes win!!!

*Terms & Conditions Apply:
1) ONLY UK residents are eligible to enter the contest

shes awful, at christmas she was entering kids creative comps with her items to win, and on everycancounts facebook page, she entered under different accounts to win several prizes. disgusting and i believe she got her prizes then as companies do nothing so no wonder she continues

people who cheat to win are disgusting, they give compers a bad name and put companies off posting competitions.

I blame the companies as well, though. If they made the effort to research how best to run a competition, voting comps would not even happen, but they could also create proper T&Cs to at least try and prevent cheats.

It is totally unscrupulous (think that's how you spell it!) to win a competition in that way. I'd rather win a photo competition because people genuinely liked my photo, not by cheating.

That will not happen, even without groups/swops etc people are far more likely to vote for their friends than another random persons entry.
