KGB deals at it again, inflating the savings - when will they learn

Hi All,
I think KGB must think we are all idiots!
here is just another example. Their current deal for a BBQ says it costs originally £399 :
http://www.kgbdeals.co.uk/national/deals/86559/bodum-fyrkat-cone-charcoal-grill-from-internetshopukcom?utm_source=ym&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dailydeal&utm_term=86559&utm_content=national&kigdb=d9ebfa58-a3e8-102d-a943-4040747c9ad5
...but do a google search and they are £99-£130. Now, the offer they have is a good deal, but they are inflating the marketing to make it seam like the deal is AMAZING, - it is more like a 30% discount which is ok I suppose
When will they be stopped from doing this - I have stopped all their daily emails now and will not buy from them again as I do not trust them :mad:

It's daft, isn't it?
If you see a discount of 10-15% then it's perfectly believable.
When you see one where the new price is less than half the original you know perfectly well - unless there is some very good reason such as damaged packaging or a new model available - that something is amiss. I suppose there are those who are so daft they actually think people really do drop things to 1/3 of their original price.There are two types of people in the world: Those that can extrapolate information.0
