Consumers have been left outraged after a recent giveaway by the company Exclusible in the Gleam app promised a $130,000 prize but instead delivered a t-shirt. The giveaway was advertised as an opportunity to win big and had users complete daily goals and finish in the top 30 to be eligible for the grand prize. However, when it came time to collect their reward, consumers were shocked to find out that they had only won a t-shirt. The deceptive nature of this promotion has sparked outrage amongst consumers who feel like they were taken advantage of. Many have taken to social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook to express their disappointment with Exclusible’s actions. One user wrote “I worked hard every day for weeks and all I got was a t-shirt? This is unacceptable!” Others have called for boycotts of the company or demanded refunds from Exclusible for what they see as false advertising. Exclusible has yet to issue an official statement regarding the incident but some speculate that this could be part of a larger pattern of deceptive practices from the company. In response, many consumers are calling on regulators such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate Exclusible’s practices and take action against them if necessary. This incident highlights how important it is for consumers to be aware of any promotions or giveaways before participating in them. Companies should also be held accountable when they use deceptive tactics like these which can lead to serious financial losses or other negative consequences for unsuspecting customers.
