Remember this competition https://www.facebook.com/virginmedia/photos/a.278551958824836.84008.197718073574892/880511905295502/?type=1
Well they have chosen someone who posted 2 hours ago, Virgin Media posted the answer on 18th July at 10:32am. Surely they should announce the winner as being someone who posted before 10:32 on July 18th.
I have commented, do you think they will pick a different winner, by the way I didn't get it right just think they should pick someone who commented before they showed the answer.

Please be nice to all MoneySavers. That’s the forum motto. Remember, the prime aim is to help provide info and resources. If you don’t like someone, their situation, their question or feel they’re intruding on ‘your board’ then please bite the bullet and think of the bigger issue. A Guardian article once "doffed its cap" to this forum as being the one place where consumers can collect together and fight back. Our job is to help keep it that way.

Companies running a FB promotion should stick to using an app, this wouldn't have happened. Or if the ball corresponded to where it would be on the TV advert instead of Virgin Media randomly selecting where the ball wasPosting is a privilege, not a right. This is a privately-owned site.

The first cheat is pressing them so he can get the prize and they seem to be acknowledging him, but not those who are asking why they have picked 2 people who didn't enter genuinely - https://www.facebook.com/virginmedia/photos/a.278551958824836.84008.197718073574892/882955391717820/
Can they actually award him the prize? or can they be reported to somebody for not running the competition correctly?
I don't know who regulates any of these facebook competitions.Thanks to all who post comps! :A0 -

Has he just replied to that FB post with a different id?
They can give the prize to him but people would have legitimate cause to complain to the IPM/ASA.0 -
LOL looks like it!Thanks to all who post comps! :A0

What exactly do those companies do? I once contacted the ASA because a company picked a fake winner. The said company just ended up awarding the prize to somebody else, claiming the original (fake) person didn't respond to them - but clearly it was because they had been reported.
That was end of story, nobody seemed to be bothered about the fact they they faked the winner in the first place.Thanks to all who post comps! :A0 -

Slap on the wrist, don't do it again is not uncommon but they have also helped people to get prizes they were awarded.0 -
Doesn't look 18 to me either.0
