Hey guys,

Take it easy.
Facts:

a) Copycats Ads are monitored. Passport, DVLA by Google.

b) There are may be still ads that sneaks for certain keywords.

c) Google has around 50K employees, and I can say that more than half are engineering staff.

d) Google have offices around the world - so they do work, round the clock!. Got it?

Now continue with your abuse, cliques,. Permission granted.

hpuse, why do you repeatedly and continually lie and attempt to mislead people?


...and refuse to answer questions?!

A friend used this site by accident and was charged £40 on top of the £80 disc fee. There was no final confirmation of the price including the fee so they didnt realise.
Yes the site says there's a charge if you click on service fee but they also add that if you cancel the application they charge £8 fee so even if you manage to cancel they still pocket this.

The dodgy bit; You have to answer the 4 questions on the Gov site YES or they will not sell you the disc. On the copycat site you can still proceed so in affect are purchasing the disc fraudulently (?) as the V5C conditions are not met.

My friend's daughter does not live with her anymore so answered NO to the question Does the V5C registration certificate hold your current address? The fake site still processed the disc and it went to the mum's address (as per V5) so the fake site answered fraudulently to the DVLA site questions.

Maybe facts c & d are accurate.
But is this statement below really true?

Google has a team of engineers working round the clock to stop copycat ads getting displayed by these perpetrators.

So far - despite being asked to provide proof many times - you have not done so.
So why should we believe anything you write?

Maybe if you didn't post such tosh and provided backup to your claims, you might not get abuse.
Just a thought to take into your weekend, hpuse.

Of course they are. All ads are monitored by Google. People pay Google to have an ad and Google let them know the stats.

Completely off topic but seeing it's 2014 I'm determined to write post 2014 in this thread. I know it will get that way, it's only a matter of time. In fact, I recon this thread will still be going on in a decade lol!

Ooh a challenge...
