Options
ReesesAndFitnes on twitter

Several comps for large Chocolate bundles but the last winner announcement I can find is from March & comp tweets keep vanishing.

A couple of threads here mentioning them deleting comp threads;

  • They're running another twitter comp for a large amount of chocolate - commented that it looked dodgy that most of their earlier comp tweets had disappeared & no winners announced since March & got this reply

    It is a con. They have been running fake competitions for over a year, just to get followers, if you do a @twitter search on them. Before that they used a different @ name with an extra s on the end. @Twittersupport should take action."

    for people who aren't familiar with these fake comps here are some pointers to look for

    Big name but no blue tick, genuine pages have the tick.
    A full stop at the end of the name
    Slight variation on the name such as adding an s eg Tescos or a word eg first choice holidays
    No obvious business or business does not match the name of the page
    Wall full of competitions but little else
    Unfeasibly large prize eg luxury all expenses paid holiday or a car - usually with a large bow on

    Blue tick also work son Facebook, it'll have a blue tick next to their name and say "Verified Page". Will only be there if the person / company has actually asked to be verified though. (ie : https://www.facebook.com/kingtutswahwahhut/)
