Oh I do too, I know fannyadams about cars myself other than to drive from point A to point B really, so that's why I bring a qualified mechanic with me, and we swap then when she wants to buy a laptop or a new phone

Devils a advocate here........probably in relation to facebook and social media in general as opposed to this topic
Who says they are guilty of fraud and deception? The circumstances surrounding picking the winner are certainly unclear but have been subjected to trial by facebook, that's all.
Some examples, someone said here's a picture of the car going around Galway, someone pointed out, that's actually an a4 and the car is an a3, to which the person posting the photo went, so what?
They've now latched onto the fact that the registration number must be fake because it's not showing up on the m50 registrations etc. cue loads of screen shots of invalid reg. loads more agreeing and outrage.
Well, actually, it takes a few days to a week or more for a car to show up on the database. How do I know? Because I got a new car recently and when I went to change my toll details it did not show up as too new. I hope it's not a fake reg, because I've spent a lot of money on the car
. Plus the reg number is in the 12,000's which going from my number I reckon was only registered Thursday or Friday. But hey, someone on Facebook said it is a fake and they got a lot of likes for it, so it must be true.
Someone else here found 2 negative reviews and posted then here coming to the conclusion that the dealership must be bad! Two? How many customers must that place have?
Someone else here said May looked shady and suspicious. It was suggested that May should give an interview to prove she was real!
Eh, if she is real, she is known to those who matter to her. She does not have to justify herself to random strangers over the Internet because she won (or didn't) some crappy competition for the use of a car over the weekend. No wonder she was hiding behind glasses. The lady looked decided uncomfortable. That's probably because if she is genuine she's not best pleased about being dragged into this rubbish.
There's probably terms and conditions attached to the use of the car. I would think either you have to transfer your insurance over to it or maybe they cover it. If I had to transfer my insurance over, no way would I want the responsibility for that car! What if you kerbed it, or damaged it in some way. If it is their insurance, the person who won was always going to be a safe bet, from an insurance point of view (maybe existing customer and local(so not clocking up loads of Km's do you not think? They are not going to hand over the keys of an expensive brand new car to someone who could just dissappear with a very expensive piece of kit.
I think it was on the wedding thread here a few weeks back that someone posted an alarmist warning about a venue and the shocking treatment she had and why no one should ever book that venue. She also posted it on Trip Advisor
hoping to damage the hotels reputation. However, the owner came on and gave the real story and it was the original poster that was lying. The anonymous poster was not seen for dust. I find that a disgrace.
Heard a terrible story also about a local lad. Saw the usual on facebook about a pedeophile being spotted in our locality. He must be a magician as well as a pedophile because he was splitting himself in quarters and showing up all over the country at the same time according to Facebook but that's another story. Usual comments from the mob. Until someone pointed out to leave the lad alone he was a local. When I heard the story I as shocked because there is a resemblance to the person in question. There could have been all sorts of trouble for that lad as a result of bad mindedness and mob rule.
Please don't believe all you read on the Internet folks.

It wasn't her that won it. It was her son, fair enough.
Would you not like something if you won a Facebook competition?
Someone noted in the comments that her son never liked it after the winning the prize on friday. The winning post has been removed. Even though the winner was asked to contact them. So he is on Facebook.
There was another post on Friday by Audi. The winner was picked at random. Some bull crap "it was won fair and square". You think the winner would also like this. This post is also up on their Facebook page since Friday. But no likes by the winner.
The winner picking up the car and not one like for his mammy. Was there ever a David Lydon. I don't think so.
And you're right. They don't have to justify to anyone. But the company was caught out rotten. It's them who has to justify there lies.0 -
