Save your congratulations, Kro have just refused to honour the deal. They have been trying to get out of it since I won for some reason. They wanted to give the prize to 3rd. What an amazing coincidence to find that both her and the 1st prize winner come from Dublin where the company is based! I've just had it out with them on their group and it ended up in them refusing to give me the prize, which is what i said they were doing in the first place! They have banned me from the group and deleted all my comments, but I have them screen saved as have I the personal emails they posted which is against the data protection act or something. Here is how it ended. Anyone who is on their group still free feel to register your protest against their decision. They have been extremely rude, slandered my name publicly on the site and are giving the holiday to 3rd place. And the last correspondence I had from them is them inviting my solicitor to write to their solicitor. What a headache this whole thing has turned out to be.
I am thinking about starting a campaign to get them to auction the holiday to raise money for japan, any ideas?
That is a let down, bro. Not good. You won the competition in a contrived artificial way anyhow, so don't be so upset. Like dope said, you still have a great picture that you created on your own!
I'm upset because of al the shit i did to get votes, and for now having to let my friend down. Among two other people today this has caused me a lot of stress as well. So I am going to fuck with them in a way they wont expect, because they obviously think I am some kind of ****. I am going to get them to auction the holiday for charity. I am emailed 3rd place and asked for her backing on this.
You can still like it, and you can leave a comment on their page asking them to auction the holiday for charity
1st and 3rd place come from Dublin, where the company is based. Looks like they have taken the group down after i launched a campaign against them last night, but it's hard to know because my internet seems to be going really slow. I am guessing they have taken it down because they don't want any bad publicity over this. Looks like it is still up, but I appear to be IP banned from it
