more of a query than a rant- 118xxx directory 'connection' charges
tv/radio ads feature various 118 style companies, with x rate per minute PLUS a whopping conenction charge of 50p or so.. so a 1 minute call could cost 80p maybe? i think thats twice the old charge that BT enquiries used to make.. isnt technology / competition meant to make things cheaper nowadays? and where do the calls…

Fish4jobs site not keeping email details safe
I have started to receive phishing emails that I can trace back to a sneakemail address I used to register on Fish4jobs. I don't have an Abbey account, so there is no danger of me following the silly link, but I do object to such a high profile organisation not protecting the data they hold. I have emailed them today, but…

Complaining - too late?
Had a bunch of flowers delivered to my gf a couple of months back and was gonna complain about them - I really don't think I got enough flowers to justify the price paid and there were markedly less than were in the picture on the website. (in fact, something like 50% the number of "proper flowers"). This last week is the…

Sainsburys grocieries 2 boxes for £16 - did this offer end yesterday?
Maybe I'm going mad, but I'm 100% sure that this offer was valid, according to their website and mysupermarket, until 20th August. So I bought 2 for £16, and got charged full price for each box - over £26. The reason, according to their quite rude customer services, was that in fact (a) the offer was not on in store…

www.vfestival.net - AVOID AVOID AVOID!
I am pretty sure I have been ripped off. Ordered 5 tickets for next year's V Festival. Got order confirmation through for £689.30. Looked at credit card statement this morning - £709.34 has been debited from my account to a company called "Ticket Budapest". Sounds WELL dodgy! Luckily though I have also ordered tickets from…

Flookle Rip Off
Has anyone else visited the site www.flookle.co.uk? It's an auction site which seems to have some fantastic bargains on it. You have to buy credits in advance for 50p each, so I dutifully bought £25 worth so I would have enough to bid on a digital camera. First obstacle: each item has a reserve, so my first bids on a…

Beware market studies that are not market studies ...
I don't know if this tactic is used in the UK, but this is a warning from Spain. I answered an ad to participate in a market study (sorry if I'm using the wrong phrase, but I'm forgetting my own language ...) to test facial products. What it turned out to be was: 1) An attempt to sell the products 2) An attempt to sell…

spend £50 at Sainsurys get 5p off litre of fuel....or maybe not small warning
Just a small warning. I spent just over £50 in Sainsburys yesterday and expected to get a petrol voucher but I didn't. I asked why not and was told it was because I had bought baby formula and that doesn't count in the amount. I know baby formula can't be used in special offers etc so wasn't surprised and didn't make a…
