E-commerce giant Snapdeal has been accused of rigging its win-a-smartphone contest by picking three of their employees out of 10 as winners.

The contest run by Snapdeal promised Le 2 smartphones by LeEco to the winners.
When the results of the ‘lucky draw’ were announced, there were three victors with email IDs ending with the snapdeal.com domain name.

What is interesting is that hours after we reached out to Snapdeal with queries, they were quick to mask the identity of the winning employees by tweaking the original list – by replacing official email IDs with names and playing around with the some of the names by adding middle names or deleting surnames.

If it is true, then what is the probability that all the 10 winners were all snapdeal employees?

What is the probability that all contests by large corporations are run like this but just with a little more subtlety? The probability is really really high.

All this proves is that.. there were once 3 idiots at snapdeal

That is why employees and their relatives are not allowed to participate in such competitions. Dunno how Snapdeal allowed them..

I dont know what is dumber.

1 Rigging a contest to save....what? 50 thousand or a lakh? Is that worth the hit to your reputation as a mutli million dollar company?
2 Rigging it and having your employees use official email address?
3 Not rigging it and being dumb enough to not screen the winners for Snapdeal employees?

For crying out loud you cant be that incompetent. You arent the Indian government.

"there were three victors with email IDs ending with the snapdeal.com domain name."
LMAO.
Indians being the giveaways fans that they are i hope this will definitely make a dent on snapdeal rep. What a shame. I expected better from Kunal Bahl.
