Oh no....not another god botherer, surely a word in the right direction could have these heathens smighted and begetted or begonned or whatever the language is .0

To be honest, the people that have fallen for this scam should be grateful - they are clearly the sort of people the saying 'a fool and his money are soon parted' was written about.
They are lucky that they haven't been scammed for a lot more than £20 or so, and should look on this as a very cheap lesson in why you need to actually know what you are doing when spending money.
fyi I am very net savvy but booked my driving test over the phone.. best way to do it really.0 -

The presence of paypal is no guarantee that something is legitimate. In fact, outside of a few places where paypal is entrenched and does make sense, I'd go as far as to say the exact opposite.If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything0 -
Some of these people falling for this openly blatent con are surely going to be rich soon anyway when the Nigerian Deal pays up and the Euro Lottery win arrives.0

Trouble is with that, the site isn't actually fraudulent, so no chance of a refund.
They are just providing a charged for service that some people choose to use, despite the numerous warnings on here.0 -
I have to say that site looks like some 10 year old put it together.Google gives you answers use it.........0

The listed address on this site is 410 Stafford Road, WOLVERHAMPTON, WV10 6AJ.
Just searching this address in the public domain brings up a few different businesses, all working out of a 3-bed semi. Obviously it doesn't matter really where a company is based but the types of business they are involved with should really alert others.These are my thoughts and no one else's, so like any public forum advice - check it out before entering into contracts or spending your hard earned cash!
I don't know everything, however I do try to point people in the right direction but at the end of the day you can only ever help yourself!0 -
Isnt the biggest question that needs to be asked here : why are YOU booking something like this for your child :huh: If they are 16/17 + surely they are old enough to book it themselves and pay for it, maybe im old fashioned at 22 :wall:0
