Hello!

I just want to share something that my friend recently discovered after having browsed through all the entries in this contest. Btw, my friend's one of those who submitted an entry, it's one of the photos in the third album of the official entries to the contest.

So as he came across the photos, he noticed that some of those with the most numbers of likes are liked by random people who have the same profile infos. And these profile infos only show NESCAFE Philippines to be the only thing in their "Likes and Interests" field.

We see this as a rampant and malicious underground cheating online behavior.

You can try to see for yourself this fraudulent activity.

Maybe the admin of NESCAFE Philippines like page should do something (maybe qualify, verify, and validate each "like" from every user who liked an entry) so as to avoid future complaints and further unlikely events - so that this contest could be considered totally fair and just.

Thank you! You could e-mail me @ de_aqui_lima@yahoo.com should you wish to know or ask more.

Okay, forgive me for not elaborating much on this concern. But I guess you missed the point of what I was talking about. I never questioned NESCAFE Philippines' dignity as a leading corporation/institution nor did I directly accuse everyone of cheating in the contest.

Here I'll give you links so you'd understand.

This is a photo from a certain Mishiel Deocampo in Album 1 of Official Entries, http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3997415&id=99351244175#!/photo.php?pid=3882545&id=99351244175 and, so far, it has 631 likes.

AND AMONG THESE 631 PEOPLE are the following names:

1. Zaldy Enage, http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001140665145&ref=sgm#!/profile.php?id=100001140665145&v=wall&ref=sgm

2. Noel Batac, http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001108256045&ref=sgm#!/profile.php?id=100001108256045&v=wall&ref=sgm

3. Alvin Lim, http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001146455353&ref=sgm

4. Jeffrey Lin, http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001135745219&ref=sgm

5. Jen Edison, http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001125245143&ref=sgm

You will notice that in each profile, there are only two tabs - WALL and INFO. On the WALL tab, the user's recent activity is "(user) likes NESCAFE Philippines." While on the INFO tab, there's only the user's "Basic Info" (Sex), and "Likes and Interests" fields, where "NESCAFE Philippines" is the only page found. Plus, these people DONT EVEN HAVE FRIENDS on their profiles.

My point is, these people COULD be FALSE IDENTITIES whose names could have been invented and profile pictures picked out of anywhere on the world wide web BY THE PERSON WHO SUBMITTED THE ENTRY HIM/HERSELF. AND THAT'S OBVIOUSLY CHEATING.

Of course, we're on FACEBOOK - where people could play around, hiding in fake accounts.

If you want another example, here's another photo and try to view the pages of those people who liked, http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4003391&id=99351244175#!/photo.php?pid=3997414&id=99351244175

Hope you got my concern.

:)
