BB will not get a true winner as long as these scams are allowed to carry on imo.

Mystic Mock 12-08-2010 04:48 PM

was that on the big brother section on twitter.

Vicky. 12-08-2010 04:50 PM

That is ridiculous.

People try watered down versions of that on here, which are obviously fake...but to someone who doesnt watch BB, or doesnt think...many could ring that line for tickets to the justin bieber thingy :/

Well apparently they have,it was particulaly bad the week Ben was evicted and rachael and apparently it is up and running to get Sam out,imo it needs stopping as it is not fair to the other housemates.So even if Crabby did win,I could never see him as a fair winner so the campaigns have not really done him any favours.

Not all of them are linked to BB,they are just given a number to ring for various items(note it says,the more you ring,the more the chance of winning)They post a housemates number(apparently Bens was the worst)and people ring hoping to win prizes.

can I ask how you think this only applies to john james?

I mean, surely these scams would work for anyone...so why just say if 'crabby' wins it wouldnt be fair?

I dont think JJ will win anyways, hopefully it will be sam :D

Jords 12-08-2010 05:03 PM

This is really sad of people.

Obviously you want your favourite to win, but is it THAT important?

Because the week Ben was up against Crabby his fans started it,and it has carried on since for anyone up against or that is a threat to Crabby

SoBig 12-08-2010 05:08 PM

Hopefully we'll pull something like this off when John James is up to win.:dance:

In your opinion.

if these things are about, I find it hard to believe that it is only fans of ONE housemate who are pulling it.

It could for example, be corin fans doing it this time(not accusing anyone, using as an example) because sam is fave and she is second fave, makes sense doesnt it?

It was so obvious that there was skullduggery at work when His majesty Ben was ousted'!....Even if the Crabbyfannettes were enough to keep the twerp in.....There's no-way that Ben was disliked 52% over Rasputin Andrew and Crabby!!!!....No way!!!!And you would have to be 'off your rocker' to think that it was 'a real result'!!!! :nono: :dance:

Mystic Mock 12-08-2010 05:15 PM

If anyone sees any of these on Twitter, just report directly to them that this is a fraud and the twitter user can be traced, and prosecuted for FRAUD. It carries a £50,000 fine. I have reported 2 today, and irrespective of whichever HM they are trying to promote, it is cheating and fraud and needs to be reported every single time it is seen. Only when these idiots are prosecuted and have a criminal record will they understand that what they are doing is depriving innocent people of their money through these scams.

Do you not "get" that people are being tricked into ringing premium rate numbers? How would you feel if this happened to you?

It just proves to me that SOME fans have no moral compass at all, and like their idols, will do absolutely ANYTHING TO win, even if it is illegal and hurts someone else's pocket.

REPORT ALL SUCH SCAMS, ITS THE ONLY WAY TO TEACH THE FRAUDSTERS A LESSON THEY WON'T FORGET.

Scams like this shouldn't be tolerated.

Whatever you want to believe,but it was started to get Ben out intitally,so make of it what you will.

I guess I'm just annoyed that people are being ripped off and I'm not accusing any particular fans - if Ben fans had done it I would have been just as disgusted. It undermines the whole point of BB - that the HM who is most popular with the public and gets the most legitimate votes ends up the winner. I can accept even my most hated HM winning so long as it's fair and square.

Fuzzylogic 12-08-2010 06:27 PM

The amount of votes that will have come from these scams is less than 1% it will barely effect the result.

Plus if there is a scam to evict one housemate there are other ones to evict others, they will balance each other out.

It's hardly worth worrying about.

It is if some kid is ringing thinking they are going to win something,it's fraud.

I'm not defending the idiots doing this, but if that kid is stupid enough to blindly ring a number they see on Twitter then it's their own fault.

A Simple google search of the number would reveal what it really is.

Don't get me wrong these people doing it should be punished, but what I am saying is that the effect it has on the results is far less that what you are implying.
