Pure Dentistry iPad Competition Facebook

Options
A small gesture and all that but for those of you who entered this FB L&S competition

https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5143344

it has now gone from their facebook page and all comments asking about the competition are being removed.

Given the number of thanks the competition posts on here got if we all "unlike" their page it should be noticeable.

As I said a smell gesture but why not?

    LOl Moneybot - are you suggesting there's a 'whiff' of subterfuge with this one? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Not one I entered myself, but poor play if they are not honouring the competition/prize! :p

    i unliked them too. Scamming way to get likes on your page.
    New start.... positive vibes
  • Just report the Facebook page as a scam, it doesn't take many reports to get the page removed from Facebook.
    Yes, I know there is no "R" in the word dream in my username - it was setup in memory of my grandson :A

    I hate it when that happens but I have heard that many facebook pages run fake giveaways just to get their numbers up. Apparently for them to get a bank loan, company freebies, sponsorship, financial backing etc, they need to prove they have a large number of interested buyers/customers and they can do this by showing their Facebook page! Scum bags! Glad I didn't enter or like the page!
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

    I unliked them earlier, putting it down to 841, now it's back up at 845 :/

    I wonder if people sharing that screenshot are liking them again thinking there's a comp running, without actually reading the text in the post.
