    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    The eBay one I got arrived yesterday and is faker than a fake thing. The box opens differently, the colours on the box are different. There are four packs of cards inside whereas my genuine one has two, there is no barcode or British safety mark. Oh and the fake timer is pink but the real one is white.

    I'm in the process of trying to find out how to get my money back - it's advertised as genuine but clearly is not. I messaged the seller and got a response that I'd been sent the American version :rotfl::rotfl:

    QOC, is this the one I posted on here a few weeks ago? I feel so bad about it, and from all accounts you weren't the only one to get caught by this shyster.

    I saw it posted on Bargain Hunters I think it was. Once again I'm sorry if it was me that you listened to xx
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    Good evening Elite :hello:

    Just popped in for catchup before I sit down to enjoy some evening tv :) NSD for me, full of cold, sneezing and coughing all over the place. Good job my loo roll stash is still healthy :D

    I did visit Mr T day before yesterday but sadly my store do not stock the Hipp sachets, they do have jars though :rotfl: :rotfl:

    off for a look on Freebies, see whats what. Oh, before I go, a little tale.

    Last week I used up the remains of a brand name of roast potatoes. Luckily I was the one who ended up with a rotten one, black in the middle. ds4 would have flipped his lid if it had turned up on his plate at the time :eek:
    A quick email and a photo to the company, a reply the next day asking for the offending item and packaging. Well, they had been disposed of and bin men had taken recycle stuff. I just didn't atop to think.
    I told them I hadn't got them and they said they would send voucher/s.

    Today postie been and brought me a cheque for £10, woohoo. I didn't like the roasts anyway so wont buy any more. Back to real roasties from home grown spuds, I could still end up with a black middle though :eek: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    It was on hotdeals. Don't worry - it's nobody's fault! I've got my genuine one. I'll eventually get my money back for the fake one and hopefully, if one other person doesn't get caught out, I'll be happy :)
