    Sorry to bump but I'm worried people who have entered will miss out now as there is the extra step of emailing in (I only saw it by chance on my facebook news feed, came on here to add it to the thread and it had already been done).
    Is there anything we can do to make sure everyone who has entered sees LuckyJade's message above?
    Should OP put something in the title??
    More experienced compers do you have a solution? :)

    Thanks for the bump

    This kind of thing really annoys me basically they have go a lot of people to like their page with this competition and all along it appeared all you had to do was like their page. Now they have put in an extra step for entry with a very short entry window at that.
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.

    Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of what you can’t change

    I think last time they did something like this they were going to pick a winner from Facebook likes, but they added the step of emailing because they got a load of fake Facebook likes. I think it's a good idea of emailing in with a phone number etc. This way it would be 1 entry per person, I don't know how many of their likes are linked to fake accounts but I bet it would be quite a few. - you can read about it here - https://www.facebook.com/caralot/posts/406560499391537

    Looks like they were a bit naive paying a company to get them likes.

    I agree it's a good step to make sure it's not fake accounts but it would have been better if they had made that step clear from the beginning or used an app rather than L&S.
