Radflek Radiator Cover Scam!

I logged in and ordered at exactly 13:01. It told me I had missed out but could still get a discount of 20%.  As if 1000 people have logged in before me within 60 seconds and ordered.

Looking at past offers, this is a regular occurrence.

Why does this website advertise this when it's clearly a scam?

You could try building your own out of cardboard and tinfoil

Nothing on their site stating any offers.

OP is referring to today's offer, featured in Martin's latest newsletter. 

Details are on MSE at at https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/deals/radflek/#56200 not on the radflek site.

This offer always (it's done every year) sells out almost immediately. I doubt it's a scam as OP suggests, just one of those things that happens with this sort of limited offer. OP should probably have logged in at 12.45 and got the order lined up to go at 13.00.

No this was clearly bogus.  I hit the site dead on the 1pm radio 4 pips.....all gone! Sneaky trick to get clicks and expect visitors to be grateful for the supposed discount.

I logged in and ordered at exactly 13:03. It told me I had missed out but could still get a discount of 20%.  As if 1000 people have logged in before me within 60 seconds and ordered. Yeah, Sure. Does not inspire confidence.

How many people get the MSE email each week? Hundreds of thousands? Perhaps over a million? I can easily envisage a thousand people getting in ahead.

(I got one of these reflectors through the MSE email about ten years ago. Halcyon days!)
