I’ve noticed a lot of posts on Facebook regarding B&Q allmost giving away pallets of top soil. It says all you have to do via a link is answer a few questions and pay a nominal fee of a few pounds and they will send you a pallet of 60 bags of top soil.
Is this too good to be true, has anyone seen this or even taken up the offer.
I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
I listen all night for your step on the stair.

It's a scam: https://www.facebook.com/bandq/posts/1124769579691005
Sounds like a way for scammers to get peoples card details.
Fails at the too good to be true test also, that's supposedly several hundred pounds of free top soil.

Think, a nominal fee and they would pay a driver, the cost of running a vehicle with a crane to get a pallet of top soil to your door.
It makes no sense.
Also cheap topsoil tends to be full of contaminants and weeds. That's why it's cheap.
The good stuff has been heat treated to destroy weed and seed.I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

From now on, if you see anything that looks too good to be true, or someone asks you to pay a deposit to 'hold' something for you on fbmp, run away very fast.Non me fac calcitrare tuum culi1

If it is on FaceBook, it will be a scam. Doesn't even need to pass the "too good to be true" test.Exodi said: Fails at the too good to be true test also, that's supposedly several hundred pounds of free top soil.

My experience of life is that very often “buy cheap buy twice”* is true for a lot of gardening stuff.Beeblebr0x said:As an aside, the reviews for B&Q topsoil aren't great
