voting comps are never fair it's like highest score comps, when it comes to photo comps they should have a panel of judges and check the photo is original before announcing a winner. The companies do need to act more responsibly as well and regulate their comps.

Can't get my head around the mentality of cheaters :huh::huh::huh::huh:
Recently someone tried claiming the photo they won with that was found on Sainsbury's (I think, definitely a big company,) cookery page was one they had submitted :shocked: . Despite being a different gender :rotfl:.
The prize? a bag of salad ...:eek::rotfl::eek::rotfl:


ETA - Often use this link and post on companies' walls when I see voting comps. Feel free to bookmark & do likewise http://www.superlucky.co.uk/2012/08/ten-reasons-why-voting-competitions-are.html

Well the company seem to have handled it well at least.

Totally agree with grannybiker, what sort of mean-spirited opportunistic person do you have to be to rig comps like this...

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)

So by disqualifying her, they could be breaking their own Ts and Cs...
Hmmm. Rod for their own back there, I think.

They're now saying the following:

Right on Monday i will be going through all the entries and disqualifying anyone that is cheating or even suspected of cheating. We will then put the remainder of the names in a hat and draw then for the prizes!!! that way everyone has an equal chance to win!!!!

So does that mean those who won the other prizes, fair and square, won't necessarily win? Seems a bit unfair on them.

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'd be interested to know who this is - i entered that comp - my 1st, and last most likes comps cos they are bloody awful - and would hate to think there was more than 1 cheat.
