"are complaining on HN to warn others about scammers and unsavory companies "
And in the case of this particular issue we know nothing of the person lodging the complaint other than their karma score.
Why is this even to be taken on face value anyway from someone with no contact info that has provided what amounts to little info other than:
"This is the jpegmini contest that I entered to win a Nikon D5100 Camera. They pulled their pages down after the contest ended so I had
to pull these from google cache. For the record, I blocked out all names and twitter handles aside from my own and jpegmini's. "
Edit: "their karma score" (if you don't want to read their comments and make a judgement on their credibility of course which most won't have the time to do).
