Twitter compers beware!!

So Ive just started comping on Twitter, and it hasn't taken me long to see that something fishy is going on!
One Twitter user, (text removed by MSE Forum Team), has been literally winning every competition, she's won 4 alone today and in the past month about 20. I've print screened all her wins from the last 1-2 months and it's too many to count.
Now I'm a maths student at uni, and with the amount of people entering competitions it's statistically impossible for her to win so many of them.
There's a scam going on somewhere!

I have been entering Twitter competitions for years and only win maybe 4 things a year if lucky. I agree something fishy there.

She's a blogger (text removed by MSE Forum Team)
I've no doubt that all these bloggers get promotional material to promote in comps and just give them to their blogging mates whilst pretending it's a genuine competition

I have a theory on this: it seems to be that certain companies only ever choose the winner based on the number of followers they have - she has 8,297 followers. From a business point of view, it would make sense to want to give the prize to the entrant with the largest reach but it's not exactly fair, is it...


Don't know if this is true, just noticed it a few times recently.

That's probably true, Looks like I have no luck with having only 25 followers haha!

Think you have a point there.

I've only got 246 followers. How do i get more followers? I hardly win on Twitter.

Hmmm that's interesting, wonder how that many each month are possible? (and not jut from obscure companies and blogs) but from big companies - if she's not only using twitter, but other platforms wonder what her complete count is?
how is cheating possible on twitter? (not gonna try it like, just don't see how its possible)


I have 1,140 followers...never won a thing.

This girl gets bullied and hounded in a disgusting manner, the names she has been called by compers is down right nasty, she is a 21 year old, pretty, blogger, if you see how she comps it's by tweeting relevant stuff regarding each company. She can not fix comps with some of the larger companies, they will not bow down to anyone let alone a uni kid with a blog.

If people spent their time more wisely than screen shotting her wins then they might win too.Thats stalking.

I have days like today I won 6 between twitter and fb, I have week upon week where I win zilch.

No wonder that poor girl is a bundle of nerves half the time because of the amount of abuse she gets.

You have no proof of her doing anything wrong yet you start posting on here to cause yet more conflict for her.

Thread reported.

Bullying certainly isn't on, but it does seem like she wins a hell of a lot ALL the time. I do find that a bit odd. usually I might have a good day and win nothing for ages, she seems to have good days all the time. Strange.
