    As far as I'm aware it's not been said that it was a scam, it's not proven that the winner/designer are connected other than by having the same surname and there are no links that prove anything conclusive to connect the two.

    It may well be coincidence and it's important to take that into consideration before firing off emails and jumping to conclusions.

    (takes off diplomatic hat)

    ;)

    I think it is a scam. I am entitled to my own thoughts. I have read the Loquax thread and it is obvious that others think so too. I personally went through the facebook links from Dickon Langdon to Martin Langdon to Tom Langdon! It is up to Orange to proove to me that I didn't waste my time.
    I will fire off e-mails to whoever I want.

    I'm not saying you're not... but there's a world of difference between saying "I think it is a scam" and "I have been reading on various forums on the internet that the competition was a scam".

    Fair enough, no one told you otherwise.

    The following are all quotes from Loquax forum thread:

    “there was definitely something dodgy going on there. Lets hope orange get to the bottom of it”
    “we all smell a ringtailed rat...”
    “Loads of people were tracking reginald and saw that things did not look right”
    “I too believe there was something dodgy going on.”
    “he knew he had the means/cheat to claim it back before the comp ended”
    “sounds seriously dodgy”
    “It stinks”
    “You should def get screen shots and print outs and whatever other evidence you can get together as it seems quite obvious now doesn't it?”
    “it certainly looks like that Ibiza holiday is rightfully yours, harty23. Good luck!”
    “This looks more and more like an obvious fix.”

    I think I can fairly say that others think it is a scam!

    That is presumptions, not fact, yes i does look iffy, but u cant say that for sure, until orange/poke respond to the 2nd place winners emails, u just dont know anything for certain. xx

    Yes... "think" you said "the competition was a scam"... but we could go on all evening doing this and still disagree. :beer:

    Yes we could. It is my belief that I have seen a link between the winner and one of the designers. Many people are unhappy.I personally spent alot of time on this competition. It is time for Orange to answer our questions.
