Hi all, smile

Thanks for raising your concerns.

It's likely that these are Google ads, and not advertising through Gransnet. If you see any ads like this please can you let us know by emailing [email protected], and include a screenshot of where you saw the ad if possible, so we can look into this for you.

HQ - can you not vet companies that advertise in this way? - or is it outside your control?

I too have seen those very attractive clothes but fortunately someone posted here on GN about the companies and social media have warned about them.
There have been some very sad stories, prom dresses etc when youngster's dreams have been shattered.
Order at your peril, HQ take note.

I noticed what looked like very attractive items of clothing and accessories advertised on this site by a company called IrisRuby. I looked up reviews on this company, and will definitely not be buying from them. Check it out before thinking of purchasing. I wish Gransnet could do something about this, as not everyone is as wary as I am.

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!
