Unfair Giveaway on Facebook BEWARE!


I entered a giveaway over at the Facebook Page Eliza Ann Collection  tonight/yesterday whatever you want to call it, it's 1am EST...

She posted the link, and I did as follows, it said "tell me what you did for mothers day for a chance to win. So I did. Then a few hours went by and I noticed I was the only one who commented at it was 10:00pm, and the post said the winner would be drawn at 9am EST. So, I commented asking if I had won since I was the only one who entered...

Upon further investigation, I saw that not only had she reposted the link, she didnt even include my entry that was on her original post!

I thought that most businesses played fair on facebook, and didn't do this. I didnt get a chance to win because she apparently felt that there was not enough entries and reposted it. That would have been all well and fine if she had included my entry, and she didn't! I'm not a sore sport, or a sore loser, but when I enter something, I expect to actually be entered, and not just blown off.

Here is my screen shot of my entry and the original post, and then of the post she posted after to get more entries. That's not fair to me since she couldnt even be bothered to tell me that she had posted a new link, and its not fair to my readers of my facebook who could have had the opportunity to win the item from me had I won it, and she didnt even care to enter me although I clearly entered!


her comments above mine saying to enter on the picture above which I did, and she deleted! I even retyped word for word what I had typed on the post on the wall!!!

my comments, 1 entering, and 1 asking if i had won since I was the only entry...
This is the new one she didnt enter me into even if businesses do this, they should still include the entries together, not just "forget" about them...
SO BEWARE OF BUSINESSES DOING THIS YOU MAY NOT GET ENTERED EVEN IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TO DO IT! I HAVE A FEELING MY EMAIL TO THEM TELLING THEM HOW UNFAIR THAT IS WILL GO UNANSWERED, BUT THIS LINK WILL ALSO BE POSTED ON THEIR WALL TO EXPRESS HOW UNFAIR THEY WERE IN DOING THIS.

GOOD NIGHT TO ALL MY LOYAL FANS, I'LL BE ADDING 2 REVIEWS TOMORROW! STAY TUNED :)

I actually show that she responded and counted you in the contest. I've looked at her page and the posts. However, it is not included in your blog that she responded stating that she DID INCLUDE YOUR POST. So, tell me, which is unfair? You jumping to conclusions and bad-mouthing a business? Or her INCLUDING you in the contest?

Bad-mouthing other businesses doesn't make yours look any better. And if you're going to do it, make sure that you have valid proof. Oh, and also include the whole response. Who looks like the bad business now? Definitely not Eliza Ann Collection.
