Do you listen to Moneybox at lunchtime of a Saturday on Radio 4. I've just had an email saying what tomorrows show includes and i saw this.

Legitimate websites of major and well-known online retailers are being used to lure people into joining a club which can cost them hundreds of pounds. A tick in a box to get a money-off voucher can lead to another website and cost the unwary a great deal.
It might be worth listening to that to avoid the wrong money off vouchers.

I always listen to Moneybox and Moneybox Live. I love Paul Lewis. Mental hair, although that's not immediately obvious on the radio.
Perhaps it's a prerequisite that everyone who advises on money issues is called Lewis? Martin Lewis, Paul Lewis, CS Lewis, the list goes on!"Growth for growth's sake is the ideology of the cancer cell" - Edward Abbey.0 -
