    Thanks for taking the time to reply but given your previous form with other posters please spare me any more 'advice'. I am sure you could use your time better....perhaps chase a few more ambulances.

    Let me make it perfectly clear to you:
    I dislike these websites intensely.

    No, I'm not a lawyer.
    I just have enough sense to know that 'best practice, moral obligation and what is right' is worth absolutely nothing when a website is operating legally. I'm overlooking nothing.

    So I don't bother bleating about 'best practice, moral obligation and what is right' as it serves no purpose whatsoever.

    Outrage against these websites is going to get you nowhere.
    Legal is legal.

    If you think the website you used is misleading or operating illegally, report it.

    Contact your MP.

    Contact Watchdog, Money Box, The Daily Mail - and so on.

    Use your time better.

    I offered you no advice.
    Just opinions... oh, and maybe a few facts too.

    This be nice to newbies really should work both ways, don't you think?

    And Premier Inn - HOW many of us were working for PI that time? How the chain had ANY staff on site I have NO clue.

    You are pathetic; you really are.

    Just because you've been conned (if indeed you have and you're not an AE) doesn't make these sites unlawful.

    And we all know they are tricking people. But it isn't within our power to do anything about them. What makes you think that websites set up to remove people from their money with little or no effort care a jot about best practice and moral obligation?

    I, and others, have suggested that those with a genuine complaint take the matter to their MPs; who just MIGHT, if they get enough hassle, decide to legislate.

    If Trading Standards and the ASA (both of whom do have some powers to deal with certain dodgy traders) aren't able to stop these sites bleating to strangers on an anonymous internet forum is hardly going to have an impact is it?

    Until then?

    Research what you're buying before you merrily tap your details into websites!

    If someone does a heart surgery of these posters, you now know what they would find it written:
    "we respect and praise lawful companies coning people on a public forum" all over :rotfl:

    You do talk some tripe.

    Not one of the posters has shown respect for these companies.

    Not one has praised them.

    Who do you think continues to ALLOW these companies to operate within the law?

    The people who make the laws - that's who!

    So save your pathetic comments for the agencies and departments who have failed to legislate against these companies. The Trading Standards departments cannot act to bring these companies to book because they are not breaking the law. So NEW LAWS ARE NEEDED TO OUTLAW CLONE AND COPYCAT WEBSITES.
