Twitter scam £100 love2shop

Way before Christmas I won £100 love2shop vouchers I have three kids in my.life so this was amazing I had a bad year wirh money and was scammed online police were involved but it's still on going.... So this was so amazing to win
Anyways... Afte months of messages and it's on its ways..... Nothing
I told them I was going to report them but they said they have sent the vouchers amd have proof..... I haven't seen proof and its been weeks now they told me they would send me the details. And they haven't! They even sais two weeks ago they would deliver them personally as the boss was in my.area... .. If they had sent that surely they can track as apparently ir was recorded delivery!!!

    You seem to have a lot of bad luck with competitions and being 'scammed'

    Sorry to hear that you have been part of these potential scam competitions. I hope things improve for you soon and that you do eventually receive your prize/s.

    Please make sure you report them to the The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA)
    Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.

    I generally don't enter anything that has a name like that, just sounds spammy to me, these kinds of people are in the business of getting you to sign up which they then forward / sell your details for a commission to the big gambling sites who in turn sell on your details.

    I said this at the time sadly, bbo blocked me when I queried a friends win, write it off and move on.

    They are hoping people click through their bingo offers on their site which inturn gives them referral money from bingo sites, some bingo sites even pay referral money every time the person who was rebuffered deposits and plays through their money, so it is a very lucrative scheme.

  • Unfortunately, you're not the only person to not receive your prize from them. Other than all the people affected reporting them to the ASA, not much else can be done.

    Their latest competition is listed on MSE here:
    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5585918
    and you can see that I posted on there (post #4) a few days ago about multiple winners not receiving their prize.

    Since it is only a twitter account and takes a second to enter, they will continue to get plenty of entries and possibly create more disappointed winners.

    All they seem to tweet is the competition - about 4 times every hour!
