Hi everyone- I just feel I have to write to you about a scam that I've come across that seems to be all over the UK and Irish online classfied websites. I'd imagine I'm not the first person writing about this. Basically it started when I did a search online to buy an African Grey parrot for my boyfriend's birthday. A few sites came up through the search but the parrots available on this particular site- Adoos (www.adoos.ie) seemed extremely reasonable they were being offered at 200euro, I even came across an add... read full review »

I contacted this Dublin based company ipodrepair.ie by following this link www.gsmsolutionsltd.com/services/ipod_repairs.html I described the problem and asked sombody to contact me with an estimate to repair. They phoned me back and told me that they couln't give a quote to repair it without doing an evaluation. She said the process was to send them the iPod, they would do an evaluation on it and let me know how much it would be to fix then I could decide whether or not to proceed. The rep said it sounded like a hard... read full review »

I feel that benefits containers are extremely poor in keeping liquid make up in the container and instead smudge it and spill it all over the lid. I am talking in particular about their liquid foundation, moon beam and their lip gloss. I move around alot and these products do not like being put on their sides. They end up leaving a stick mess and for the price of the product it is quite unaccectable. I end up wasting lots of my product because their packing leads towaste. read full review »

Miley Cyrus announced a concert in Dublin, and to make sure I got tickets for my daughters I joined the Miley Cyrus Fan Club. By doing this I would get a pre-sale code and would be able to buy them the monday before they went on sale to the general public. All went well and I purchased four seats, very close to the front and basically centre stage. Family friends then asked if i could get them tickets, the night before they went on sale to the general public. These friends are not the most technological people, and trusted me to get the... read full review »

I bought this book and realised that the first few chapters where missing and replaced by the last chapters. I did send it back for another but when the new book came back, the last chapters where missing and replaced by the first chapters! I did not ask for my money back which was €4.00 and did not send the book back for you see I am only 13 years old but still outraged!! I would like to get my money back still but I have left it too late!!! So, my advice I would never buy from these publishers: ( MACMILLAN) again!! But I will still continue my love for books, but I'll be very cautious in the near future!!! read full review »

I stayed in the Ritz Carlton in May 2009. My credit card is still awaiting a pre authorisitation to be lifted even though I have paid the hotel in full, in cash on the day of check out. I spoke with the General Manager about the problem and found him to have a serious lack of understanding and customer service skills, which included raising his voice at me. I would never stay in this so called 5 star establishment again, I would have received a better service staying in a bed and breakfast. read full review »

I bought a service to allow me to watch live rugby online. Satellite TV for you PC. I purchased the bronze package for €30. But can't seem to download it or even set up my membership profile. I set up a profile but it does not recognise my name and password and when I put in my email address to allow them to send me the password, no password is sent despite the website assuring me it will be sent.<br /> <br /> So I suspect it is a big rip off. On top of all that you cannot get in touch with them as no contact detail... read full review »

Block voting is destroying Eurovision! Eurovision is lacking enjoyment pretty much the only way for countries in western Europe to get through to the final is to pay their way in and even then they don't have a chance of winning. The eastern Europeans have a complete different taste in music then the western Europeans. I think we should end block voting and different tastes in music by having 2 eurovisions one for western Europe and one for Eastern. Please sign my petition to send to Eurovision :-... read full review »

Just wondering if you've had similar stories from other Irish holiday makers, we booked our Honeymoon to New York and Mexico the day before the swine flu outbreak, we paid a €2000 deposit, and although the WHO and the DFA have advised that non essential travel to Mexico be cancelled, we can't get our money back. Our travel agent TWOHIGS has advised us that we can't change our flights or destination without losing our money. We're getting married in 3 weeks, and although the press coverage about swine flu seems to have... read full review »

This is a permanent public information page about Kevin Ginty, the man who gives the good people of Ireland, Irish Trade and Co Wicklow a terrible reputation. Ginty negotiated purchasing of goods from various suppliers for his business First Aid Express Limited under credit terms and good faith. Large debts are now significantly overdue and several legal final demands have been issued. He has made many promises to pay his supply chain, but fails to do so on every occasion. Despite taking receipt of the goods, his businesses show... read full review »

Last year I was going through a rough patch and went to this liveperson.com website and hired a psychic-spell caster by the name of Angelo, aka. 'Mystic Knight' He claimed to be able to bring back a lover in 21 days or less for 174 USD To do this he asked for a 5 star review straight after paying and before anything happened. After nothing happened, this "psychic-spell caster" claimed that it was my fault that things didn't work and he did deliver what he had promised. The only thing that happened is I lost... read full review »

I reserved a car for 3 days for approx. 35 EUR. I held my confirmation in my hands going to the pick-up counter in DUB Airport. When I wanted to collect the car, the member of staff showed me an agreement stating more than EUR 120, 00 (!). Without asking me, she added a "gas package", paying for a full amount of gas that I didnt request (which is -by the way - much more expensive than just driving to a gas station before dropping the car). She also added the VAT and an airport collection charge (25 EUR). I know this charge... read full review »

For over 2 years now, I have asked MSN, HOTMAIL, MESSENGER, WINDOWS LIVE, to close my email account as it had been hacked into . For 2 years, they sent me the same reply "it will be deleted at the next maintenance cycle. please dont sign in or use any related sites". For 2 years, I have said that the HACKER is the one signing in, as he blocked me!!! Is there anywhere else i can lodge an officila complaint, not against the hacker, but against MSN, MESSENGER, HOTMAIL, WINDOWS LIVE "SUPPORT" AND "ABUSE" SERVICES.??? The hacker has been aided and assisted by these so-called "help" sites for over 2 years now. read full review »

I was passing through airport security jsut befor reaching gate 11 in terminal 1 in CDG airport in Paris last night ( 15th march 09) to fly back to Dublin. I was waiting for my bag to be scanned and to my horror i witnessed what i can only call an incredible humilliating experience for a fellow passenger. A chinese man was having his bag searched and one out of three guys in charge of bag security found a pair of pink fluffy hand cuffs in his carry on luggage. The gentleman was clearly embarassed due to the fact that the so called security... read full review »

I wonder if anybody could help in relation to a monthly subscription which was deducted from my credit card on the double. I had cancelled my subscription and was aware of the cancellation policy. However on the final month of subscription I was deducted twice. I have phoned the head office on a number of occasions and emailed on a further number of occasions. I got a phone call in December for the comapny, around the time RTE ran a program about customers being mis treated by comapnies such as Jackie Skelleys. They told me I would... read full review »

I am complaining about the way Lyndon Morris goes about running his branch of Educo Gym. The man has no clue how to talk to people & also has his wife who knows nothing about fitness instruction doing his job for him while she minds their baby in the gym. It is a ridculous set up. Very unprofessional. His only concern is that he makes money weather his job is done or not. He even has a picture of himself dressed as superman on the wall. Embarrassing, cringe worthy sales techniques & actually doen't seem at all interested if... read full review »

My wife ordered and paid for a pair of Ugg boots for me from this company. She requested a UK size 8 and a half. When I received them there was absolutely no way that they were going to fit me. In fact, my wife takes a UK size 6 and they were too small for her!! We also found the quality a highly suspect so we asked for a refund. They refused citing, "they did not refund unless the product was deemed unwearable".!!! Do they expect me to have a foot reduction? Beware of this dodgy company. read full review »
