ELITE 11+ Awaiting glitches and chatting with friends

Scam alert from 10wayx:

We don't ask very often that something is passed on so please do it this once so others don’t get caught. From Vlad, a 10ways user:

"I just wanted to let you know of what I believe is a scam, that has been sent out by studentbeans.

They sent out this:

The linked company (RadioPlanets) basically takes a one-off payment (and the user's card details) in exchange for a 15 pound Pizza Hut voucher, which they never give out. However, they will continue to charge the user each month after that, with no real unsubscribe option (they say they have one but it doesn't work). What they offer is a list of free internet radio stations for which they charge 29 pounds each month. They are obviously not trying to provide any real value as everything they offer can be found on google freely.

I have already discussed this matter with their previous payment processors, Adyen and they have stopped offering payment services to them. They have now switched to another payment provider (quickpay.dk) - which I am waiting to hear from. Also contacted PizzaHut about it.

I know you guys are much smarter than studentbeans and test offers before sending them out but I just wanted to make sure you don't make the same mistake.

Have a nice day! - Vlad.”

► Opinion from 10ways:

We were approached the other day by a company offering us £11 per person that we got to sign up to this website offering a £20 HMV voucher for £1, turns out it was RadioPlanets. As always we research / test our deals thoroughly and it soon became apparent that this site wasn’t to be trusted. After some investigation we found the pizza offer as well and noted it down alongside various other deals on our system as a scam.

Judging by some of the reviews on https://www.trustpilot.co.uk/review/radioplanets.com it seems this is a common thing, even for non UK users. Lots of Danish/Swedish users are reviewing saying that they’ve had money taken out of their accounts over several months and customer service department is basically non existent or not willing to help on the phone, asking users to email but then not replying to those emails.

If you've done this ‘deal’ we suggest you ring your bank immediately and explain that you believe you’ve signed up to a scam.

Then email info.dk@radioplanets.com requesting cancellation of your account and recurring billing

Then fill in this form on https://helpdesk.quickpay.net/hc/en-us/requests/new (this is the payment provider, i.e. the middleman legit company that is taking your payment) explaining that you want to terminate your payments to Radio Planets.

Hopefully studentbeans will use the £11 they get per sign up to cover the costs of sorting the issue out for users.

► We asked the following to StudentBeans:
- What part of the deal was checked by StudentBeans staff
- How many people have received the vouchers? If any?
- Numbers of people who signed up
- What do you plan to do about it?
- A promise from you that you will contact everyone that could possibly have seen or clicked the link, explaining the error.

► Our response from StudentBeans was the following:
"Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
We are investigating the matter and take these allegations extremely seriously.
We have contacted the company that hosts the content to seek clarification. "

We wait for further correspondence with all parties involved. Hope nobody else gets stung. Love 10ways x

I was just getting excited at the £5 off at lidl voucher, thinking I could buy them there with that (and some wine ) but they arnt on sale till the 16th. Time for plan B

I have yet another £10 CB to claim from COS too

That's wrong btw, as they are on 2 for £3 in M!:eek: I note last time I saw this on msm, it had just a straight M price, but that was wrong too:p:D. Of course of no interest to me as I wait until they are £1 or below. M price was £1 not so long ago (and A's currently is).

EDIT: And M don't have loose brussels sprouts do they, at £1.89/kg?:wall:

SECOND EDIT: Or prepacked Leeks (500g) at 99p.

T PP - as regards picking up Morries prices here, totally useless! Should send Savvy round.

THIRD EDIT!: (I think M have Madeira Cake as well, probably at £1.09:eek: but I'm just debating (with myself folks, yeah, totally mad:rotfl:) whether it is "Iced" enough or not:rotfl:.)

FOURTH EDIT: :rotfl: And good job you weren't comparing against M - as I'd regard 125g Cooked Ham at M as comparable too and probably compare without weight adjustment if I were doing it (not sure exactly what M's price is there as not of interest).

Any more potential mistakes on T PP vs M anyone?!?:huh::rotfl:

Glad to be of use
Im actually quite annoyed about the Brussels. After the debate about pre packed F&V Id actually have been better off buying Ts pre packed 500g bag for £1 instead of rooting through the loose ones looking for the biggies :rotfl::rotfl:

Im having a couple of special visitors this weekend (Billy, my house guests siblings) and they are very partial to cup cakes and iced Madeira cake. My DD is making afternoon tea for everyone :A.........my elderly neighbour has given her a very lovely cake stand and she's inspired to use it

Im so missing my visits to my neighbour I've not wanted to pass any bugs onto him. He's old and frail but I have missed his company so much

Will it affect this that there are 4 items in the T multi and one of them is £3.95 not £4?

I am never 100% sure of the rules when it doesn't match due to different prices.

Many thanks

Anon

It's 2 for £6 at T isn't it - if I've understood [the OP to which you were replying] correctly - so no problem with differing prices. I always know the rules on these things, just second nature:D:rotfl:.:cool:

davemorton

I never knew you could get Madeira cake iced?
