Cash Prize Comps from Sweedls - Looks too good to be true?

Options
Hi Guys,

I came across this prize comp on facebook where participants can win £100, £50 or £30 every 2 weeks. To see, go on facebook and search for 'Sweedls' - prize comp detail is pinned on their page (sorry I'm new and not allowed to paste links)

I am a newbie to comping and moneysavingexpert, so thought I find out from the experienced Compers on here if there are things you look out for before entering comps, otherwise I think its easy money.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

    Doesn't look like 'easy' money to me. The ONE winner has to alienate all their Facebook friends by reposting the most messages. It's a way of getting lots of free advertising with very little effort on their part IMO.

    .

    Nope, there will be a few people who spend hours each day on each of the 3 categories - posting stuff on their website (£100), trying to get other people to follow them (£50) and sharing their FB posts (£30) and unless you are prepared to do the same you stand almost no chance of winning one of the prizes.
