Ah the immature playground insult, should have expected that.

Perhaps the title of your thread should have read...

"Any shop, any time potential scam - warning, prices do and have always fluctuated and RRPs are misleading - do your research"

Lol, from the person who JUST SAID "I get more sense from my 6-y-old".

Can you even hear yourself?

The definition of a scam, is not, and has never been "something it's impossible to see through". It's pretty easy to see through most scams. The perpetrators rely on the fact that not everyone will.

Whether or not you can see through something is irrelevant here. A scam involves fraudulent behaviour. There is no fraud here or misleading information. The facts are clear, assuming the RRP is correct and the percentage reduction is calculated properly. If you still believe this is a scam then take your evidence to the trading standards or police. Come back and tell us how you get on.

...and don't forget the thousands of other online and offline retailers that do the same day in, day out. It's not just Amazon and it's not just on Black Friday!!

No, fraud involves fraudulent behaviour.

A scam involves scamming people. This really isn't complicated stuff. Pretending a 0% reduction is some kind of 55% reduction is a scam.

Still waiting for a reply to this:

"Hmm, so you're admitting the RRP is a made-up number but saying that advertising a 55% reduction from a price that by your own admission is made-up, ISN'T a scam."

However at that point lovinituk gave up trying to make a reasoned argument & started talking about 6-y-olds instead, confirming they didn't have an actual response

Happy for you to continue making a fool out of yourself on your own! You don't need any help in that by the looks of it.

Haha, more insults from the person who moans about insults. Take as long as you want to come up with a reasoned argument, I know you're finding it difficult.

That's the problem with taking an ill-thought-out position then refusing to budge. Although you can probably get away with that if you're arguing with a 6-y-old

Notice that unlike YOU, I haven't actually been insulting, although that may have gone over your head lol

"Fraud involves fraudulent behaviour" - well you learn something new every day.
"A scam involves scamming people" - hmm now I've got my notebook out.
"Pretending a 0% reduction is some kind of 55% reduction is a scam." no it isnt. They are not pretending anything. The RRP is the RRP. The reduction quoted is against the RRP. It is all perfectly clear (except to you). Whether the RRP is "made up" is entirely irrelevant again (and you seem to specialise in irrelevancies). How did you get on with trading standards and the police by the way?
