So I've had my 60 year old mum crying this evening Jd sports on twitter did a competition to win her Christmas food shopping.
She entered and was picked  on social media for all to see as a winner  she was so happy she called us all. I went to help her with the reply and it was a a fake profile pretending to be jd sports .. But it was On jds official page
My mums so upset x
So just warning all. Don't get your hopes up until you know 100 percent it's genuine. There is so many going around. 
Most are obvious but this one was all over the official ticked twitter page it looked genuine. 
Horrible time of year for it  x 
Keep safe everyone. 

She is OK now x just annoying 
Hope you all have a lovely Christmas
