Set up a facebook just for comping?

Hi guys

So i had a normal facebook account but decided to come off but then missed doing the comps, So ive set up a new one just for comps only. I have no friends as just want it for comps only but no one can see that as have put it to private and am sharing the posts. Anyone else done this and won?

They say they pick at random so im guessing they wont scroll through my facebook?

I set up a FB account for comps a few yrs ago when a few others from here were too!

We all became each other's friends! I think some have then been brought in to question and closed down. I don't enter comps much now so can't comment on wins. Sorry.

wouldnt the company get a notification that they had a share i know i do, as cant imagine they scroll through everyones facebook looking for there post do they? As some people enter hundreds a day? Has anyone won sharing to just friends? xx

If you don't share publicly the company can't see you have shared it so wasting time sharing it just with friends. I don't do any that require sharing as a compulsary. I will share comps but only with my comping friends list so they can enter but not if sharing is a condition of entry

and if facebook find you have 2 accounts they can shut down both as against their terms and conditions

I only had a comping account but my family tracked me down and now I have over a dozen of them on there. It does make things awkward because I don't want to clutter up their feeds, so I only enter less than half the share comps I did before.
