Fast-food giant Jollibee blames fraudsters for raffle row

Julibi said that the fabricated fast food chain in the Philippines said that the fraudsters falsified the results of the online withdrawal, after complaints from customers and a brief government investigation.

Julibi said that “fraudulent third parties” have put multiple entries “despite the existing guarantees” to get an opportunity to win food and concert tickets.

The company said it had complied with the government investigation and that the situation had been corrected.

Many social media users were not believed when the names of the winners were published on the Jolbee page on Facebook last week. They said names such as Hobby Dynamics, Noble Beer and Alfreda Corkery could have been compensated with artificial intelligence.

Julibi said she immediately carried out corrective measures “and hit” the winners of the main awards. ” The subsequent clouds also commented and said that the retracting would be held.

“We want to assure everyone that we have dealt with issues that were fully raised and the strict compliance of the investigation started by the Ministry of Trade and Industry,” Julibi said in a statement late on Wednesday.

The names of the list of the winners of social media because they are not common in the country. The first and final Filipino names are a mixture of English and Spanish inherited from the former colonists in the United States and Spain.

The names also include Belle Thompson, Arielle Wintheiser and Gilda Block.

“Like Jadilli?!?!” One user hung on Facebook. “Artificial intelligence should be very lazy so that these types of names cannot be reached.”

Another wrote: “Maybe they thought people have no time to read.”

He conducted some comparisons with the controversy of corruption that included President Sarah Doterti, whose office is allegedly paying government money for individuals with fake names.

The Ministry of Trade and Industry said on Wednesday that it “will continue to oversee the appeal of Jollibe Burger Blowout”, which ensures “fairness and transparency in all promotional pledges.”

Jollibe started as an ice cream store in the seventies of the last century before the opening of the first Burger Restaurant in downtown Manila in the early eighties. She has quickly expanded her work in the past five years, where she got a US cafe chain in the coffee chain, tea paper and Hong Kong Demosum series.

Its founder, Tony Tan Kakteg, is the son of poor immigrants from southern China. The chain talisman, permanently smiling bee with a red jacket, is a reference to the diligent nature of the Philippines.

Generations of the Filipinos see that the brand is part of its national identity, as the distinctive fried chicken, burgers and pasta have become the primary component of family gatherings.

In 2014, the deficiency of fried chicken in Chickenjoy led to #Chickensad direction on social media.

Jolibee has 1600 stores in 17 countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States, Spain and Singapore.
