Just saw the same thing and was going to post how rubbish that offer is £80 my pigsbutt. It's a 2GB Mp3 player that looks similar to an original iPod shuffle.

Not only looks similar to an IPOD shuffle, pigsback say in the blurb

" £19.99 instead of £80 for an 2GB MP3 Pod Shuffle "

Looks like its designed to mislead people who dont know any better into thinking it is an ipod shuffle.

Shows how unscrupulous the company has become IMO.

Naughty Pigsback! If I'd accrued my points via clicks I wouldn't be so annoyed, but I'd stacked mine up by making purchases through Ebay and the like - mainly on things for my wedding.

So they've pocketed the money from Ebay/other on-line companies for the affiliate purchases I'd made pretty much - cause lets face it, those Mega Deals really aren't worth it!

Does anyone know if there's a marketing ombudsman or marketing/advertising regulatory body I could (or perhaps many of us could) contact?

I'd also like to know. There has to be someone we can complain to that will get something done

I think the title of this thread needs to change now.

No longer Free Cash For Clicks anymore :mad:

I've just noticed that Pigsback finally have a Megadeal which some people might be able to use. It's £12 for a £60 voucher to spend at Nellypot.com. They sell bags and purses and there are a few things to be had in that price range. Unfortunately delivery isn't included and costs £5.95.

Not a great deal as it may seem. The handbags are hugely overpriced, so £12 is about the right price for them. I also noticed that some are designer knock-offs without the labels attached. I am pretty sure that is illegal to sell?

Yesterday, they were offering £25.99 for an Ainsley Harriott blender that is normally £60, yet another site sells it for £23.57!

I really hope that they see sense and let us redeem our balances for vouchers!

I've tried messaging them via twitter and they ignore that too

You're gonna love this bit of news, everyone: today's megadeal is for an XXL Big Boy BeanBag.

Checked it out, only to see this alarming message on their homepage (bigboybeanbag dot com)

BUYERS BEWARE!
We have learned that there is a very cheap imitation of our product being widely marketed.

This is NOT our product and has none of our exclusive features.

Our BeanBags are manufactured to the highest specifications, and are ONLY AVAILABLE through this website, a very few selected resellers, or from our exhibition stands, which we list here on this website.

Our Beanbags are NOT AVAILABLE through any newspaper or group purchase offers, or through any other websites.

Please do not be fooled, if you are in any doubt, then please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Our Legal department has the matter in hand.

Now, I'm not saying that Mr Pig isn't one of their very few selected resellers. I'm not saying that at all. But, if you wanted to jump to that conclusion...

(First the not-an-iPod, now this?)

I'm not saying it either, but the Big Boy BeanBag's legal team are on the case.
