GioTeck vent
I bought a cheap 50p skin for my PS4 Slim two weeks ago from Poundland, but the box had no instructions. I emailed GioTeck the same day, but two weeks later I have not heard anything. Now I don't expect the world from them, but a reply would be useful. Their website is useless for trying to find a telephone number.

Purchased 6 items…on checking the receipt I was overcharged for 5 of the 6 items. 3 of the items were a 3 for 2 offer.

Hi all, I am a vulnerable adult and a victim of a scam relating to a fake trading app I was manipulated into downloading and using. The scammer instructed me to transfer funds to Moonpay (a legit app) and then from Moonpay to Super AI Options 8 (the fake app). After a month the scammer took all the funds and it was at this…

WARNING: Uber Eats/Evri
I have nothing but praise for Evri and Uber Eats but the only time I receive scam phone calls is after receiving deliveries from these two companies. Coincidence? I don't believe in coincidences. Someone is phishing phone numbers and they're getting away with it.

Aldi Self Scan Checkout Vent.
My local has removed 4 checkouts and installed 8 self scans in their place. All well and good you would think, I personally much prefer them, except they seem to be rarely working. So more customers queuing up at the remaining 4 checkouts which they now don't seem to have enough staff to cover adequately due to the…

Amazon!
I know people have mixed feelings about Amazon, I’ve just received an email from them. I bought some very good hair products from them, they were a similar price to other places and I have an Amazon Prime account so I get next day postage free. They said they have reduced the price of the product after I bought it and they…

Hi Guys Please would you kindly let me have your recommendations for the "less expensive" handheld vacuum cleaners?

Warning!!! Re: Screwfix Free Stanley Toolkit offer (Scam email)
I received an email with the heading showing Screwfix Free Stanley tookit, being curious because I have received free items from Screwfix if I have not used them for a while in the past. I went through a mini (very basic) survey and then it says £2 postage applies. I wonder how many people read the smallprint at the bottom…

Trademarks and writing books
Hi everyone. I have stumbled upon a strange issue. In 2012, I started writing a book. I have used a name in the book for the place the whole adventure takes place. Last year, someone internationally trademarked the name and was successful. I don't have funds to fight or object. Does anyone know the legal standing on this?…

Don't demonise renters
Why is it people who rent appear to be looked down on in the UK. Circumstances such as redundancy, divorce, death of a partner can all force perfectly good people into the rental market. The vast majority look after the properties they rent but sadly can rarely call it their home as they're never sure when they'll recieve…

Screw you Barclaycard
So I've had a "standard" Barclaycard for literally decades. I put a lot of purchases through it, between £12k & £20k a year on average, mainly for convenience and Section 75 protection. I pay the card off in full every month. Obviously I've been missing a trick here and should have had some kind of rewards card with the…

Does this look worrying ?
My sister advertised a pair of boots on a website (no idea which) and was offered a fair sum by a woman who lives locally - IF my sister could deliver the boots to her - and provide a tin of shoe polish ...She is taking them now - but I don't think that she should even go.........Any comments.
