Winner of brand new $100k Range Rover trolled amid false comp rigging claims

A woman who won a brand new luxury car in a social media competition has been viciously trolled amid false rigging accusations and claims of white privilege.

A luxury car giveaway by popular online clothing retailer White Fox Boutique has ended in frustration for one unsuspecting winner, who says she was subjected to vicious trolling after winning a brand new $100,000 Range Rover Evoque.

When 23-year-old Emma, whose last name has been withheld for privacy reasons, entered White Fox’s social media giveaway two months ago, she never imagined that she would win nor the headache that would follow.

What was meant to be a celebratory time for the young Victorian has been overshadowed by false rigging accusations and claims of white privilege.

“I think a lot of people are feeling extremely jealous,” Emma told Confidential. “It’s not fake, it’s real.”

Trolls have claimed that Emma is a White Fox employee, which she has denied.

Victorian woman Emma was trolled on social media after winning White Fox’s $100,000 car giveaway.

The White Fox Boutique competition promoted a $100,000 Range Rover Evoque and a $1,000 wardrobe.

“I don’t work for White Fox,” she said.

“In the terms and conditions it actually states that White Fox employees, anybody who works for White Fox, cannot enter these competitions. I have done nothing wrong, White Fox have done nothing wrong. If I did work for them, I wouldn’t enter the competition.

“Take it or leave it. Whether you believe me or not, I know that I’m being genuine and White Fox is being genuine.”

Last year, White Fox promoted the car giveaway to its 1.8 million Instagram followers, who were asked to answer the following question in 25 words or less — “If you would take a road trip with anyone in the world, who would it be and why?”

Customers who spent over $50 received an additional entry into the competition, which Emma says she took advantage of.

Last month, White Fox Boutique, which is operated in Sydney by husband and wife duo Georgia and Daniel Contos, shared Emma’s photo on social media and she couldn’t believe some of the comments that followed.

White Fox Boutique founders Daniel and Georgia were revealed as the buyers of a $34.5 million Vaucluse home last year.

“Probably rigged to get people to spend over $50 to get an additional entry,” one person wrote.

“Probs [sic] someone on there [sic] team won,” another added. “Of course some white girl won it … no diversity,” a third person commented.

Emma said the trolling has been disappointing.

“There are quite a lot of disgusting comments that are pointed towards race, which is extremely childish,” she said

“They were saying I was an entitled white rich girl which I don’t appreciate being called. They don’t know me.”

White Fox co-founder Mrs. Contos said their competitions are legitimate and are designed to “give back” to customers.

“As a company we run these large giveaways to give back to our customers and also give the opportunity to people who have never purchased from us before,” she said.

“We’ve been able to gift the winners with their dream cars, with the most recent being a Range Rover and prior to that a Jeep! And we’re excited to continue to present these amazing giveaway opportunities to our followers.”

The online retail sector is one of the few industries that has been thriving during the Covid-19 pandemic.

In November, Mrs Contos, 30, and her husband Daniel were revealed as buyers of the $34.5 million Vaucluse home of Andrews Meat wholesaler Peter Andrews.
