    I'd rather have wrinkles and a £4000 holiday ;) but I do hope your sister in law gets her money back, best direction is the credit card company, good luck to her x

    Its a new type of surgery. It means two more ears will grow in the front of the face. Its designed for people who need to listen to several people at the same time.

    Its a woman thing.

    Men are now donating one ear each.

    you know what they say a fool and their money....

    Contact the cc company - they will be jointly liable under s75 of the consumer credit act and should refund your money if there was some wrongdoing. However if it was sold as a beauty treatment your sister might not stand a chance.

    Btw let her know I have a miracule cure for wrinkles a snip at only £2995.99

    Why can't people just learn to love themselves the way they are?!?!

    Praying on emotional insecurity and low self esteem is sadly an easy way to scam people out of money.
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)
