🏆 What Were the Contests About?
1️⃣ Vitara Brezza – GlamShot Contest (IPL 2016)
Maruti Suzuki’s Vitara Brezza page ran a promotional contest titled “GlamShot Contest” during IPL 2016. Participants were encouraged to share their glamour shots, with winners promised exclusive merchandise or gift hampers.
2️⃣ Sony Six – Happywala Fan Contest
The “Happywala Fan” contest hosted by Sony Six during the same season invited cricket fans to show their excitement for a chance to win cool prizes.
📸 Winner Announcement & No Response After
Chanchal Das was publicly announced as a winner on both Twitter handles. Screenshots of the winner announcements and his replies from his official handle @chanchal333 are available for public review.
However, despite multiple follow-ups and public replies, no prize was delivered by either account. Even worse, both Twitter handles failed to respond to Chanchal Das after the announcements, raising serious concerns about the legitimacy of these contests.
📝 Complaint Summary – Chanchal Das Speaks Out
“I was thrilled to see my name listed as a winner for both contests. But weeks passed, and there was no communication from either brand. I tried reaching out through replies and DMs, but never got any response. This isn’t just about the prize—this is about trust,” says Chanchal.
🔎 Proof of Contest Scam: Screenshot Evidence Available
Chanchal has provided complete screenshots of:
- The original tweets announcing him as a winner
- His Twitter handle and follow-up messages
- Timestamped replies showing no response from the contest organizers
These screenshots serve as solid proof that these promotions may have been misleading or fake.
🙏 Public Request to Brands: Please Respond & Resolve
This article serves as a formal request to both @VitaraBrezza and @SonySIX to address the complaint made by Chanchal Das. If these contests were genuine, the least expected is an official response and prize delivery.
Brands must maintain credibility when conducting online contests. Ignoring winners not only damages your reputation but also discourages genuine users from participating in future campaigns.
