It seems a good sentiment but you need to improve your messaging/proposition.
If it’s really about helping people then that should be reward enough in itself.
Adding in gamification and Mac book pros goes against this and makes it seem a bit weird or scammy.
I would strip it right back and make it As Simiple As Possible.

I agree, if this is genuine nothing should be offered in return. @DMAFB if you are genuine I would like to help. You can email me sugarmountain.info@gmail.com and I will do my best to help. Pauline
I do appreciate you comments, especially as they seem genuine and from a good place. I’ll keep you all posted how it goes with our initiative. I’m hoping to organise a meet-up down the line.

Could you email me sugarmountain.info@gmail.com and I will happily help if you can break all down to me. Happy to meet you too. Best Pauline
We certainly hope that the majority of people will do things out of the goodness of their heart. The prize was really to say - albeit clumsily - it’s worth offering something material if it sparks a wave of kind acts or at least gets people thinking about looking out for each other (I know it’s common practice here)…Thanks again. I will be in touch - Don (dmafbme@gmail.com)

Personally in my opinion anyone that wants to do something that they care about will do it. If anyone wants something back in return they really don’t care. I will put your email in my contacts so it doesn’t go to my spam and genuinely want to help for nothing, if you are genuine. So please mail me and I will be happy to meet you and help with how you go about this in the future, help with social media, and raising money for this cause. Best Pauline
More likely you end up with a bunch of people not only signing up just for the prize potential, but also handing over their friends contact details to you.
You may have all the best intentions in the world, but the grab to get high numbers of users signing up in a quick period of time stinks of something far less savoury.
For something with very little press, you have a lot of followers on Instagram (less so on twitter, oddly), and not a great deal of user engagement on those platforms. Again, not saying anything, but it sure looks fishy.
You should be able to “sell” this product on its own merit. By offering a fancy prize or two, you’re attracting the kind of people that ultimately are just after something for nothing. Which I would have thought was the polar opposite of the types of people you are trying to attract.
Just my two cents!

Agree. OP might even be a legit ambassador for the fish factory though. Remember, if you are not paying for it, you’re not the customer; you’re the product being sold.
It’s not a good habit to take what you read online / in forums at face value.

Sure I will find out sooner or later, but prefer to give benefit of the doubt first.

I don’t think it’s fishy at all. Just over eager to get users. I know what it’s like - it can be hard to see the wood for the trees

I’m meeting Pauline this weekend so I am sure she’ll be able to tell you whether aliens or a government conspiracy are behind this …
