Dear Gransnet HQ

We have had a thread on here about rogue women's clothing companies who appear UK or US based but are in fact in China. They are a con - they are very slow, send whatever they fancy in whatever size they fancy and then (bearing no resemblance to the garment ordered) and then refuse to refund money or send return address label.

But here they are leaping out of the screen every time I log in to Gransnet. Do you have any control over this?

Thanks for listening!

I think they took offence that I inferred ( not too politely) that Mark Zuckerberg was more interested in the old green back than he was in good honest people loosing their hard earned cash.

I'm trying to turn off cookies with this site. Every time I come here, there's the Cancer Research add - trying to convince us to leave something in our will (annoying when we donate regularly anyway).

Hi everyone. We're really sorry to hear this is still a problem - we've been working with Google to try and sort it out, but it's proving very tricky to fix. If you have seen the ads, it would be really helpful let us know which URL this redirects to and if possible provide us with a screenshot. It would also be great if you could tell us what device and browser you are using. If you would rather contact us privately, our email is [email protected]. Thank you! GNHQ

I have activated Adblock Plus, which has removed the ads from this site for me.
