        I reckon SMS sent and email will go out later once people have collected their winnings!!

  • Doovik on 22/05/2020 - 18:56

    Any New SMS out?

  • Mintee on 22/05/2020 - 20:15
    +5

    Why am I not surprised that this giant scam hadn't sent emails out and it's 8pm so you've got 4 hours left

    I actually like the thought of twice a year huge sales by brands all at the same time but the way it's managed through these guys is appalling

    • Hybroid on 22/05/2020 - 20:37

      E-mails are irrelevant. You either got a text message with a code for your win or you haven't won anything. Simple as that.

      • Mintee on 22/05/2020 - 21:02
        +2

        Like I respect that; but just doubt theres all those 'discounts' in the first place; legit click bait. bait advertising. I cant see anything on any social media twitter, reddit here about anyone winning at all…. excluding the one guy for the tv.

  • K-Tan on 22/05/2020 - 20:35

    Their Instagram story says “thank you for all of your amazing submissions! we ‘ll be going through everyone’s answers and the winner of the prize bundles will be announced on our social media in the next few days!”

    So I guess it may be awhile before winners are announce?

    • sillygoat on 22/05/2020 - 20:37
      +1

      I think this is for their social media competition and not the gonuts deals

      • K-Tan on 22/05/2020 - 20:39

        Ahhh I see, my bad

    • Adub on 22/05/2020 - 20:38

      Thats for the previous comp that they held on their Instagram page, not for go nuts deals.

  • dylatronn on 22/05/2020 - 20:44

    So is there no chance of an SMS now?

    • exc3113nce on 22/05/2020 - 20:53
      +1

      Not sure - generally a few of us on here win stuff but only one so far.

      • dylatronn on 22/05/2020 - 20:56
        +3

        Surely its too late to get a message now, isn't it?

  • Mintee on 22/05/2020 - 21:08

    Actually where the F is the switch even on there store?.. two items are missing https://clickfrenzystore.com.au/

    • dylatronn on 22/05/2020 - 21:09

      what the heck

    • dylatronn on 22/05/2020 - 21:10

      Maybe they removed it because they what was being posted on here

      • CartoonPizza on 22/05/2020 - 21:29

        Why would they just remove the Switch Lite, but not the MacBook?

        • dylatronn on 22/05/2020 - 21:32

          Maybe cos that was extra suspicious for them I don't know. But that probably means no one wins the switch

        • Tekon on 22/05/2020 - 21:33
          +2

          With that line of reasoning, why would they remove those two and not the others from previous days as well? After all, if the exploit existed yesterday, it also existed the other days too. Just because it was not made public does not mean no one made use of it secretly.

          • dylatronn on 22/05/2020 - 21:35

            @Tekon: Cos that leaked information was there for everyone to see for the last 3 or so questions. Some people saw the info before those questions but a lot of people got to see the information for the last few questions

            • Tekon on 22/05/2020 - 21:38
              +2

              @dylatronn: Ah so it's fine if a few select people had access for the other deals but now that many people finally had the same advantage it's a problem.

              Stab in the dark but I think ClickFrenzy really doesn't care for fairness.

              • dylatronn on 22/05/2020 - 21:41

                @Tekon: Hundreds of people saw the questions and answers for the last few compared to not so many before that. People only commented about them knowing about the questions in the last few hours.

                • Tekon on 22/05/2020 - 21:45

                  @dylatronn: Yes that is precisely my point. You are suggesting that it is a problem that a lot of people saw the questions with the last few deals and not a problem that only a select few saw the questions for previous deals.

                  I am suggesting that if ClickFrenzy cares about fairness, all deals would be removed.

                  • dylatronn on 22/05/2020 - 21:47

                    @Tekon: It would be too late because people already ordered some of the products. It would be unfair to cancel all the products before and I know ClickFrenzy don't really care but that is too far even for them

                    • Tekon on 22/05/2020 - 21:53

                      @dylatronn: Hah yeah you're probably right. Bit of a shit show really. Allowing people to simply change the time on your computer forward to see the questions is quite an amateur mistake. I'm still wondering why they use client-side time.

                      • dylatronn on 22/05/2020 - 21:56

                        @Tekon: Well, now the Nintendo Switch is in the store so thats it for me.

        • Skp27 on 22/05/2020 - 21:35

          May be MacBook’s winner/s has/have been announced..and for switch, it yet to be announced???

          • Mintee on 22/05/2020 - 21:42

            @Skp27: So the apple watch is missing too. Please explain?

            • Skp27 on 22/05/2020 - 21:44

              @Mintee: May be all claimed..lol

            • takutox on 22/05/2020 - 21:45

              @Mintee: Apple watch all claimed

                • CookieT on 22/05/2020 - 21:57

                  @jacobmccc: So that page is as random as their emails. One sold out item. Yeah I'm pretty sure they all are.

                  • exc3113nce on 22/05/2020 - 22:08

                    @CookieT: One winner on ozbargain (TV) and one on their Facebook page (Apple watch) apart from that haven't heard of any other winners. Generally there's at least 4-5 winners here and FB is full of people saying they won something. Seems odd this year.

                    • takutox on 22/05/2020 - 22:18

                      @exc3113nce: There were at least 4 TVs won across social media.. I don't know what you guys are talking about. Read earlier ozb pages

                      • exc3113nce on 22/05/2020 - 22:28

                        @takutox: Fair enough. I've been following this closely must have missed the other winners. Not seeing it's dodgy just that it's different. Maybe we're getting too shy to post winnings haha

                    • jacobmccc on 22/05/2020 - 22:27

                      @exc3113nce: I won the UE Boom…

                • Skp27 on 22/05/2020 - 22:04

                  @jacobmccc: Are they giving refurbished Kitchen Aid???

                    @Skp27: Yeah just saw that lmao. As if this wasn't crap enough

    Not impressed with their website. Pop ups weren’t handled correctly causing poor UX. Poor website design and little to no outgoing alert service. Feels like something put together from the early 2010s.

    I’m not saying this is a scam but the way they’re allocating their resources is abysmal. Two average web devs could put together this website easily and make it look good, feels like they spent literally nothing and kept the rest so they could buy their next boat and a bidet to clean the sh*t out of their mouths.

  • CookieT on 22/05/2020 - 22:06

    Just read a comment on their FB site where someone said they had contacted them and actually got a reply. Not sure how they messaged them.

  • I Smell Pennies on 22/05/2020 - 22:07

    The switch lite is back on the store

  • CartoonPizza on 22/05/2020 - 22:32

    Did anyone else notice that the Macbook Air on Click Frenzy's Store is different to the one they were promoting?

    • WoodYouLikeSomeCash on 22/05/2020 - 22:39

      Probably an old picture?

      • CartoonPizza on 22/05/2020 - 22:43
        +1

        Yeah, that's probably it.
        They've given out Macbooks in the past, so there is a chance that they just relisted it on their site without changing anything.

  • achunter on 22/05/2020 - 22:40

    Still nothing coming through - looks like no luck whatsoever.

  • maxedin on 22/05/2020 - 22:52

    If I win… I won't write about it here until I get prize delivered. I saw comments when CF canceled prize marking it as "fraudulent"

    • CookieT on 22/05/2020 - 22:57

      Where did you read that? I saw a comment that CF had actually replied to someone about the reason the time taken to send SMS was because they were sorting out scams. Not sure how true that is.

    • vstratosphere on 22/05/2020 - 23:41

      Yeah check my comment on page one. I won the apple watch one year and they never sent it. I sent them emails and messages on Facebook asking them when my item was sent and they left me on read on Facebook. I started commenting proof they
      Don't send stuff on click frenzy posts and the banned me from the page. I never found out why they didn't deliver as they never responded to my dozen or so emails.

  • Bigredkeg on 22/05/2020 - 22:53
    +3

    Strangely didn't even hear anything about the drunk elephant which I thought would've been pretty unpopular / more accessible to win. Did they just ditch the entire comp in the end ?

  • Goblin36 on 22/05/2020 - 22:57

    Shouldn’t there be more items sold out on the click frenzy store if all Sms have been sent out. As doesn’t the codes stop working tonight?

  • skido on 22/05/2020 - 23:18

    The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) says a price may be misleading when:

    • The "discount" is off a recommended retail price that's never been used.
    • The "before" price wasn't in place for a "reasonable period"
    • A sale or special isn't actually temporary and creates an "unwarranted sense of urgency"
    • Fake wholesale prices make the discount look bigger than it is.
    • The sale price or discount is compared with another region.

    Think a Click Frenzy deal is misleading? You can complain to the ACCC.

    Choice knew it was a DUD

    • Buy2Much on 22/05/2020 - 23:40

      I think they should also add "Questionable quantity".

    • skido on 22/05/2020 - 23:43
      +2

      Their 'Go Nuts Sale' (actually what they named it) would violate most of those pricing rules. I am surprised they are getting away with this since 2012..
      Their whole promotion is classified as bait advertising.

      Bait advertising takes place when an advertisement promotes certain (usually ‘sale’) prices on products that are not available or available only in very limited quantities. It is not misleading if the business is upfront in a highly visible, clear and specific manner about the particular product ‘on sale’ being in short supply or on sale for a limited time.

      Had it been a 'Go Nuts Competition', then this might have been a different story..

      • Buy2Much on 23/05/2020 - 00:03
        +1

        A Competition would have been fairer and more transparent because the organisers would tell you up front like "2 Macbooks to be won" and they would publish the names of the winners.
        Here Click Frenzy gets paid by the stores, received loads of free online publicity, and at the end of the day have a massive database of people's names, emails, phones, and even mailing addresses which they can on sell for more profit!!!
        All without having to provide proof of what they "sold/giveaway".

  • Zevanzor on 22/05/2020 - 23:41

    No comments about emails or SMS on any of their social media channels sounds like they just canned yesterday's prizes.

    • pichxlonco on 22/05/2020 - 23:51

      i'm fairly new here in australia. Aren't these types of sales/offers supposed to be backed up by a lawyer or somebody with enough legal authority as to prove that the prices have been properly given to the right people (e.g. not employees or their direct families) and that a legal and proper procedure has been followed based on the terms and conditions?

  • WoodYouLikeSomeCash on 22/05/2020 - 23:53

      • compacc on 23/05/2020 - 01:05

        I mean, the dudes replying on social media are probably told stuff all but they have to make it sound like they know. What's a "fraudulent team" anyway? They have a team that acts fraudulently?

    • oodian on 23/05/2020 - 01:18

      They threatened me with legal action a few years ago now referencing some comments I made on OzBargain, so I'd be careful what you post here…

      • Bigredkeg on 23/05/2020 - 01:54

        LOL what are they going to do?

      • fruxo on 23/05/2020 - 09:33

        I remember that, unless it happened to several people. How did they know your ozbargain username though?

        • oodian on 23/05/2020 - 11:02
          +4

          I think I had shared some of the communication from them on OzBargain and they matched it up. Their investigation was quite extensive, naming my workplace (probably through LinkedIn or a Google search) and looking through my previous entries etc. Then threatened to take legal action for defamation and it came from their guy in charge too. Everything I had said was factual, so I wasn't too worried, but shows what sort of operation they run.

          • fruxo on 23/05/2020 - 11:38

            @oodian: Yeah, they are super dodgy. Still can't believe they went to those lengths.

  • takutox on 23/05/2020 - 08:52

    Lol.. I bet they conveniently say winners are fraudulent so they don't have to give out the prize, regardless if it's true or not. Scumbags.

    Reminds me of a company who kept $50,000 of vouchers because they said the entries are fraudulent. It wouldn't even surprise me if they designed the website crap on purpose. No redraw required so they can save tens of thousands.

    Can't believe the greed on this company

    • takutox on 23/05/2020 - 09:28

      Also, there was one winner on here that didn't get sent their MacBook last year.. wtf lol

    I see the marketing emails are still arriving in the inbox. Just saw one about a Telstra deal.

  • CookieT on 23/05/2020 - 12:08

    Got a reply on messenger. They're looking into the fraudulent claims.

    • Doovik on 23/05/2020 - 12:11

      What fraudulent claims?

      • CookieT on 23/05/2020 - 12:15

        The small number of people that tried to access the deals by use of changing times etc according to the generic response I got.

        • fruxo on 23/05/2020 - 12:22
          +3

          Except that would have happened for all the deals, not just the last ones. It just means that whoever did it earlier had a much bigger advantage as it wasn't shared as widely.

          Changing the clock is the oldest trick in the book. Even my computer illiterate wife used to change the clock when playing candy crush back in the day.

          It's crazy that they messed up that badly, and they should take some responsibility and do better next year instead of blaming others. Just send out the prizes already and don't make the same mistake next year.

        • Doovik on 23/05/2020 - 12:41

          they cant even track who did it if the person was using other IP's or things like that.

    • Adub on 23/05/2020 - 12:35

      So they haven't sent out everything yet?

      • CookieT on 23/05/2020 - 12:44

        Possibly. They could at least admit fault for not sending out emails and no pop ups though. There shouldn't be teething problems after this many events.

    • exc3113nce on 23/05/2020 - 13:19

      I wonder if they'll determine fast answers as fraudulent? I mean sure you could guess something instantly but for example if someone had done the "hack" for a more indepth question then that could be questionable.

      • Doovik on 23/05/2020 - 13:23

        But maybe they just knew the answer already they cant judge.

        • exc3113nce on 23/05/2020 - 13:29

          Sorry by fast I mean on the second response, like popup appears -> paste answer and submit.

    I really wish CF would take responsibility around this and imho that's the biggest issue. They don't own up to there f up and would rather see the wider community punished.

    Those winners on here. Im going to check in in about a week. I'd like to know if you actually receive delivery of the TV and the boom box winner.

    Either way I think I'm going to submit a ACCC complaint about bait advertising

    • Cristobel on 23/05/2020 - 15:18

      I think you’ll find they normally say allow 3 months for delivery of go nuts deals… I won a MacBook in the Nov 2018 frenzy, received it at the end of the following January.

      From memory there were about 3 MacBook winners (Just from ozbargain) for that particular event.

      Last November I won a $100 travel online voucher, arrived about 2 weeks later and only had a 2 week expiry :(

      Luckily I was able to use it towards a 1 night stay at Crown for a wedding we had coming up… best thing was whoever did the booking made a typo and booked us in for 4 nights instead of one - and we didn’t have to pay any extra! Was a nice 4 night staycation that only cost us $100 :D

          No the room was $200, so we paid $100 ;)

            @Cristobel: Sounds like crown made the "mistake" maybe hoping you'd gamble
