    I saw loads of comps being posted for Social Discount Network, and I was suspicious too.... Seems a lot of comps for a site like that to be hosting...

    ETA - a Google search brings up a few positive reviews though, so maybe they are genuine... And they can't have 333,000 fans without doing something right... On the other hand they've chosen to keep their 'Posts from Others' page private, which makes me dubious, if ever I look for a retail website's FB page!

    I expected so - far too many comps running all from one page! Glad I didn't waste my time entering any of them! :)
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

    Social network one is fine, most of the winners have been announced from the last few days too :)

    Good Looking - that's us...
    Out - Nah, still in the closet: it's more fun in here...
    People - yeah, well, think we are, just about...

    :rotfl:

    It's good that Social Discount have announced winners, I just hope they send out the prizes....

    I am now thinking maybe there is punctuation missing, what about good, looking out people?

    Or it's a society as it's all capital letters GLOP for short.

    Social Discount Network is a genuine company but I've heard lots of people have had to wait months and resort to contacting ASA in order to get their prize.

    Also the person saying it must be genuine as it has 333,000 likers, that isn't always the case, you can buy pages with ready established fan bases.
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

    Thanks for the heads-up, ikkle87 :)

    Yes, the one we know to not be genuine has over 500k... :eek:
