Oh dear. Mrs OB&G bought some stuff from that site. She now wants me to sign up and get introductory discounts. Should I be alarmed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 It’s legit stuff. It is as per the 2D image. But it is also the cheapest shitiest stuff you could ever think to put the effort into manufacturing. The packaging costs and lasts longer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not particularly 'legit', although not sure what folk expect for such prices. Been hearing online that loads of folk have had their accounts swiped after buying something from them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also a great way to get peoples name and address, bank details, cookies and the app reporting back to what's on your phone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nkomo-A-Gogo Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 The fact that youtube have no problem advertising those scams with the fake billionaire getting on his private jet inviting you to join his get rich quick scheme and others like it makes me instantly be wary of whatever they are peddling next. No way would i engage with anything on it. Its wild how such a massively popular platform can be so unscrupulous with regard to who they let advertise on them. I quite like that thing that temu have that folds and presses your gyozas though. I make them by hand and its a pain in the arse. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they behave like a newly established company accepting coin from any old source rather than using their considerable wealth to protect their customers.

Smurph Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I get adverts for Temu on here tbf. I just can’t understand why people think products could possibly be that cheap and still have any kind of quality. Shipped all the way from China to go straight to landfill here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have been about ten years ago. No-one went apart from one of his Spartans mates due to him being an absolute oddball but they kept updating the thread as if everyone was interested. "In our third pub now, just ordered a half" and stuff like that. Proper car-crash viewing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving my wife's automatic last week, for some reason approaching the roundabout I tried to change gear, my left foot hit the brake, and the Range Rover driver behind me crapped themselves. First time I've done that in a few years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
