Hi all, smile

These are Google ads, so not a company Gransnet is in partnership with.

Please can you email the Gransnet URL you can see these ads on to [email protected] or post them on this thread so we can get them blocked for you?

Callistemon, it used to be said that rogues don't prosper-----how times have changed, eh ?

They are still appearing on FB.
Zuckerberg should be ashamed. Fancy banning someone for alerting them to this.

I suppose you don't get to be a multi- billionaire by having any ethics.

You've obviously never seen my posts on GN in relation to these companies.
I contacted HQ many months ago. I have been banned on FB because of my comments on these companies.

There’s many like this on FB too. A pity because the tops look lovely but, yes, awful reviews.,

Yes, usually Chinese based.
I won't touch them simply because of the vast difference in size as their XL's are more like our sizes of 10 or a 12 or less even. Chinese women are tiny compared to Europeans.

There'll be a lot of ripping-off being done from companies trying to claw back their losses so we'll all have to be on our guards. If something looks/seems too good to be true, it certainly will be.

I’ve been “seeing” an advert on the right side of the page from a company called Flory Day for pretty looking tops. As I didn’t know the company I googled it for reviews.....Some of the worst I’ve read!

They seem to specialise in not answering enquiries, goods not as ordered, strange sizing.....and a severe reluctance to refund.

I am concerned that Grans may be ripped off like hundreds of other people have been. The company appears to be Australian but is actually Chinese.

Anybody else spotted rogue companies?
