I’m sure there will people on here who know what I’m talking about . But there is a “prize competition “ website/ facebook group . It started a few years ago as one of those Facebook ones and then just grew . It - up until recently - had a website / app and was turning over huge amounts. Prizes were in the thousands and tens of thousands . There were giveaways , free events , apparently huge amounts of money going to charities .

There was a bit of a thing going around the scammer groups a few months back and I stopped playing . I didn’t necessarily believe it , but just to be safe.

Now , however , the whole site has shut down and people are out of jobs. There is talk - and actually pretty undeniable proof by the looks of it - that it has been rigged all along. People have spent thousands .

There are posts where people are sharing crime numbers to try and claim everything they have spent back.

I won’t be doing this, I haven’t spent loads - maybe a few hundred over the years - but some have spent loads , chasing wins . The owner is saying nothing and I’m on the fence . In one way I think you spent and didn’t win , that’s gambling . But in another way if there was never no way to win then so they should! I also know this woman made a lot and bought a new house etc but she has kids and all this will surely destroy her.

Not sure why you would be on the fence or be worried about the owner, unless you think its not true? It sounds like she has stolen a lot of money from a lot of people. The law should come down very hard on this since there are so many of these websites popping up

No idea what you are talking about here. I have not seen this, do you have any other details?
