Can I report them?

I am not going to give the name of this particular vendor.. but I want opinions..

I entered this grow-out competition for a coral 7 months ago- Facebook competition mainly. Entries pay for coral and entry fee, one head each. After 6 months, we post out final count and a winner should be announced and prize awarded.. typical rules. Been over a month since the host requested everyone to post their tally.. not many people posted (me and one other really).

Since then, over a month now, no response from the host of the competition. I've requested status update several times and zero response- I am starting to feel like that person that now doesn't deserve to be acknowledge because I've tried to contact them several times and has become annoying. I've seen them post on their pages, I know they're around and is active. They've responded to a different coral competition this morning, and ignored my message.

I'd be nice to get SOME form of response, even a "Sorry, we're busy and didn't forget" or something if they haven't picked a winner. I feel like it's a scam now because, really, if you host a contest, follow through!

What do you guys think? is there a way to report them? What should I do?

Wow, I'm sorry that is happening to you. On Facebook there is a way to report them. I think you have given them plenty of time to contact you.

I looked, they are not even a sponsor on R2R. I thought they were.
@Lovemyreef2015 - I will have to find a way.

You can report them on Facebook. I took a screenshot on how to do it. I hope that helps. I don't know if they are on the market place. There is always a way to report on facebook.

thank you!

I made post on their page asking if I am being scammed, and they finally responded.

That's great! They probably got scared. And being you posted on their page everyone can see that.

It was /is a scam. Film festivals are another classic example.

Legal but still.

Still annoying!! After I spend my winnings, I'll never support them again.
