    That was a post addressed in reply to imoneyop's post, check #911 at 10:01am today.

    To let you know again this is a public forum and anyone can post. No matter who answers what question.

    imoneyop stated that google were displaying posts from legitimate companies and they did not state anything about Google legitimising anything. You are only one to mention Google legitimising something.

    Looks like Google have taken the decision that there is nothing wrong with them displaying adverts from legitimate companies

    Erm, Sorry, which law was that ?

    That will be the law that hasn't been passed making the sites or the adverising of the sites illegal. No such law exists, so the sites and the advertising of them is legal.

    You have been using it for number of years, but obviously you haven't read the small print :rotfl:
    Nevermind, it is still not too late to read it, it is over here
    https://adwords.google.co.uk/select/tsandcsfinder

    It seems to be you that still has the trouble reading. No where did I say they couldn't do it. I asked why would they want to?

    If they blocked the account of everyone who is currently advertising these sites then they would have to be constantly monitoring advertisers and domains and blocking them once they posted an advert for "passport renewal" or any other such keyword. Why would they put themselves to that trouble when they can just block the keyword "passport" so that no one can bid on it.

    Once again your obvious lack of commonsense has shone through.

    tremendous energy you have hpuse to fight the baddies here.

    It must be getting near the 14 days that hpuse has decided you should allow your bank to refund your money. Have you started making arrangements to move onto step c) of his masterplan yet?

    If all legal things shd be allowed to float freely......then a government can be easily run from a home.

    How strange, an hpuse like irrelevant nonsensical rambling.

    You know your writing style is so oddly familiar.

    Wonder why that is.

    So I notice hpuse has been on another edit of the OP and now says that this is not a guide for refunds, so what is it for then?

    Please note: This post is aimed at the best interest of a consumer, who are concerned and has lost money to government copycat websites in operations. This is NOT a definitive guide to secure a refund:

    Correction to your post@keith-66

    Statistically proved equation in the world of law that has been taken for granted by copycats..

    Not illegal (especially if it is not written somewhere ) means Legal
