Won prize but never got it.

I won a prize on Twitter https://twitter.com/Brightspotcomms

It was for a £20 Tesco gift card, It turns out other people have won and not got there prize. We have emailed and they have come back bounced and the phone number is dead. The person did come back online saying a family member had past away so i put not getting the prize down to that. I messaged them and said if it was easy for them to send a amazon voucher to which they agreed, He sends the details and then says the card never worked. Now i am not getting any reply's to my tweets or messages on twitter. It only takes 2 minutes to reply to a message. Guess i have been burned.

    Have you tried putting an "oi, where's my prize" message on twitter?
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    There is a company that you can complain to-advertising standards agency (http://www.asa.org.uk/), someone kept pretending they had sent my prize every week for months but were obviously lying, so complained to these people and my prize turned up a week later! Worth doing
