I am curious if others are also getting emails from Instagram with..."Sorry to hear you're having trouble logging into Instagram." It looks legit but I have not had any troubles logging in to IG. And I have had several of these.

I have also noticed many of those scam IG accounts...but whe I go to report them as imidating another account I cannot find the real account. I can find other businesses, just never the one I am looking for. And if I put the name in of the real one I get "does not exist." It exists when I search otherwise..just not in the report function.

I'm not getting the trouble logging into Instagram problem. Kinda sounds like a scam to me. My husband always tells me never to click on anything I think may be suspicious. I am having trouble finding the legit account for a lot of placed that I want to report. I do not know why though. So I just back out and end up blocking them.

Yes, I got a few right after an account posted that I was the winner of a small giveaway. It’s someone else trying to get into your account, but as long as you have a strong unique password and don’t click anything there’s nothing they can do. I just ignored them and no one has tried in a while. :)

So, Olympics have started and no Coke contests this summer? I thought they were a sponsor? Luckily lots of contests from Pepsi and their subsidiaries...

I miss the Coke contests and rewards program. My biggest win ever ($1000 travel voucher) was from a coke contest. Mind you I only enter instant win contests or certain ones where the prize is something intriguing to me.

Which two lucky RFDers won the $100 gift cards from the survey contest? I could not find any news under NEWS on this site nor on the RFD Facebook page.
Have new cookbooks but am not cooking anything new yet.

Yes, that's why I entered just about every Leon's contest that featured a Sobro table or end unit last year. No success to date!

This contest is all kinds of broken. I tried contacting them for my broken winners link and no response. Can't be bothered hunting them down. Hope someone wins and actually receives the prize and lets us all know.
Contesting can be a healthy coping mechanism I have fallen in love with this forum

For those who won the instant win on the Mondelez contest, I just received a follow up email to claim my prize from my June 30th win. Pretty sure this is different from the first email, as it required an online signature. Either that or I didn't actually click the claim link in the original email???

This one's different. If you click on the digital signature again after saving, it won't display. Did this happen to you too?

Yes, it took me a bit to get a decent signature and then it didn't properly save, but when I tried again I got a confirmation. But yes, it also didn't display on the claim form.
