Anyone who follows their local grocery store on Facebook or other social media has probably noticed that it advertises competitions from time to time. It is often a matter of sharing, commenting or liking the post that the competition applies to so that one or more lucky customers can claim the prize.
News24 has previously written about the store Ica Supermarket Kramfors whose customers got involved in one of the store’s competitions but who fell victim to fraudsters.
The ICA store then had to put out another post warning customers about clicking on some links.

Now it has happened again. And this store is furious.
The customers of Ica Kvantum Vänersborg had to compete for a bicycle from OLW. The bicycle was adorned with cheese bows and according to the shop itself, the value of the vehicle was estimated to be SEK 7,500.
Many customers got involved. At the time of writing, the post has a whopping 230 comments and 110 shares on Facebook.
Almost every comment has been answered by another comment from a Facebook account under the name “Victory Winner”.

The vast majority of comments on ICA Kvantum Vänersborg’s posts have been answered by this type of comment.
And the Ica store has had enough.
In an updated version of the post, the store writes that it is “some idiot” who has “enjoyed commenting”, followed by a series of angry emojis.
