Last night there was a comp posted that was running daily to win a villa holiday for up to 6 people in Dubai and it seems to have disappeared, it was associated with this FB page

Does anyone know what's happened to it please?

    For reasons unknown the posting member has been PPR'd & the thread removed.
    I have the cached link but it seems not quite the correct thing to post it, given that it has been deleted & PPR applied.
    The member was newly established that day & that thread was his/her only post to MSE.
    Make of that what you will.

    Hmm odd my spidey senses didn't tingle with that one. I suppose it was because it was a company who have had comps posted in the past by regular members and it wasn't that hard to find.

    Reported I assume.
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.
    (Wisdom, Courage, Self-control, Justice)

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

    Not guilty on this occasion ;-)

    If it is a regular site on here for someone to play at rule breaking is a risky approach as MSE has the option of blocking the site.

    Thank you everyone.

    I have to admit I did wonder when I saw the OP was a newbie - I think it was IB something or other the user name but I couldn't associate it with the site in anyway so didn't think much more about it.

    Anyway, thanks all for your help
