    This is news to me. Do you know anywhere I can find more about this?

    I've read a few articles on it but I can't remember where. I'm not given to reading sensationalist journalism so I should imagine (hopefully) that they were fairly accurate. Give it a google. Something might come up.

  • You just know that when you see the word 'scam' in a topic title, you could click it and read it and 9/10 times it's not actually a scam. I could be a psychic.
    I try to help as much as I can. But I'm also honest and speak my mind.

    No - not psychic, just someone who learns from experience:)

    Posts entitled WARNING are another giveaway for a usually unjustified lengthy rant.

    At least this one was short and to the point

    OP will your next post be about the "scam" of bread prices in a corner shop?

    Could be, we have already had a rant about bread being out of stock in a supermarket.
  • Another 'post and run' moron, regarding a total non-issue. I love this place. :p

    Not a scam (or rip-off or con) at all.

    No surprise that a thread with 'scam', 'con', rip-off' in the title isn't a scam, rip-off or con at all.

    are you serious. they can charge what they like. who are you to question the price they charge. i would have told you to get lost. who wants customers like you.

    if you dont like the price shop elsewhere. simple.
