So after being scammed and losing my Christmas money on Gumtree, having the police and all involved and not getting very far.... I suddenly came to some.hope and got told I won £100 love2shop vouchers on twitter with Bingobestoffers I was so excited....... I messaged them my address and everything then I had people telling me they are fake and won't send my prize 😞😞.... How sad I have wrote to them.... I hope they are genuine but I have a sad feeling they aren't

    Oh Stacey, i hope you get your prize, take a screen shot that you were named as a winner, as proof

    I noticed an email at the bottom of the link you provided, Email: glenn@onlinebingobonanza.com

    Email him, see what happens, then get some advice about making a complaint to the ASA

    Good Luck
  • Stacey, I just took a look at their Twitter. This seems to be the first prize they have offered. So how on earth do people know they are fake and won't send the prize?

    My bet is that people are either getting muddled up or they are being a bit sour. Hang in there ; )

    If it's you who won a few hours ago there is no point in paying any attention to what other people have said (for or against). Unless the company state otherwise the standard is to provide a prize within 30 days so there are still 30 days to go.

    They are fake, my friend claire_tweets won last year, they blocked her when she queried win and when I queried it they blocked me.

    Sorry I know how much it would have meant to you but they definitely are fake.

    No people aren't being sour or muddled up, every winner when they query it gets blocked and so do all who dare ask.

    It's on my no don't touch with a bargepole list.

    It's not either of those, it's people showing genuine concern because they don't want Stacey getting her hopes up to be dashed again when previous winners have never received anything.

    If you've looked at their twitter feed you will see all they tweet is that one competition over and over and over again, there are no other tweets apart from a go fund me for a sick child and nothing to get more traffic and revenue to their site.
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

    To be honest I was a bit "Whaaaaaaat?" when they started tweeting about the sick child. Seemed a bit weird, even suspicious when all their other tweets had been comping. In fact I wondered if the competition was to reel people in, then scam them for donations... :/
