    Maybe I've been vetted...or maybe not. I prefer to keep nosey parkers guessing.

    It's pretty blurry but it needs sending to the Daily Mail,

    The DVLA would be a better bet. Refer them to the UKCPS situation where a similar scam got them banned for 8 weeks and put on a short leash since.

    Did UKCPS also get banned?

    I know UKPC did for ghost ticketing.

    I agree the DVLA would be a better bet, but nothing to stop sending to both !

    She said she saw the video, not that she'd joined the group. Perhaps someone showed it to her.

    Do you struggle to discern written statements or are you a master of distortion?

    We can type in larger font if that helps :D

    Looks like you are quoting a deleted post, before making your comment, I wonder who complained or why the comment was deleted.

    The thread makes it clear it the links are on a facebook closed group and Coupon Mad claimed to have seen them.

    There was nothing derogatory in my comment, just surprise that Coupon Mad apparently may have joined a face book group. Unlike your retort, which is clearly against the MSE mantra of being nice to MSE users.

    We are aware you have been on your hols and you may
    have missed that these particular videos have been seen and
    whilst of poor quality, I am sure they have viewed by the media
    That is how the internet works, nobody needs to be a member
    of a private club

    I am a member of Facebook and even a member of that particular closed group, but I cannot see it.

    Oh that's good, so you are going to provide us with a link to the video in question?

    Anywhere else to see it other than in a (closed) facebook group?

    It appears that whats on Facebook stays on Facebook. I have tried unsuccessfully to transfer the video into any other format.

    I would, however, recommend joining (even temporarily) as the video coupled with the OP's and others comments give it some context which may not be immediately apparent from the video itself. The "vetting" is a vain attempt to prevent PPC scammers joining the group.

    In any case I would join just to trawl through the 32k members to try find out which ones C-M and TD are! :rotfl:

    Why are you so interested in me?

    Who said I saw it on Facebook? I have plenty of contacts.
