    prize looks fantastic, however this facebook page appears to be only 3 hours old and there are no links to any website - anyone know what platinum world is?

    Now you come to mention it, this looks a tad suspicious. Ticks quite a few boxes in 'how to spot a fake Facebook page' handbook.

    I don't know anything about them. I just got a FB notification from a friend who had entered.

    No sign of a webpage or any business being promoted, a collection of random photographs and a competition, probably a "like farmer".

    I'm actually quite glad it's "suspect". I'm tempted to enter, but would probably have to buy a bigger house to accommodate all that lot if I won ;)

    Thanks for posting Blu x

    Isn't there a way to report fake pages?

    You can "report" them by going to their page, clicking on "more" and giving your reasons for wanting to report them, i.e. clicking on one of the multiple choices.

    A "like" harvesting page.
    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
