I knew it was a scam when one of her links took me personally to my emails on AOL. The software was clever as it singled out just of my emails, eliminating and not showing any other email. Beneath the email and taking up the majority of the screen I was presented with: Choose a message above to view it here Tip: Double-click to see the full view of the message *At this point I did a system restore on my laptop, taking it back a day before this scam arrived.

Tip for consumers:
DO NOT CLICK ON ANY OF THE LINKS!

Products used:
Alarm bells rang when the link from the site took me directly to my personal emails on AOL! So nothing was purchased!

I have a corded curtain rail in my lounge and the curtains are operated by the cord being pulled, this would open and close them. Following the moment of my cord snapping and requiring a new cord I dug up the company Charisma Blinds in Winterbourne, Bristol online in the hope that they could help. Arranging to bring my rail to them in person I arrived at the business with the rail and my curtains still attached. I was told the the curtains weren't required and there and then they were removed and given back to me. During this process a lot of the plastic curtain hooks snapped but thankfully a promise of replacing them once the cord was fitted was made. It was a basic repair and far from being complicated, which is why I found it very concerning when I had to keep chasing up the job! They quoted me £25 for the repair initially but as I thought it was a little steep I was able to knock them down to £20 which I was happy in paying.It took two weeks and this apparently was because the cord had to be ordered in which I accepted. Upon the collection the promise of replacing the broken hooks fell short and I was refused any! The job was not completed satisfactory either as when I pull my cord to close the curtains the curtains don't quite meet in the middle, and I am left having to flick the curtain by hand to make it so the curtains meet. I did not pursue it with them any further and so I have been left with a job that was not fully completed...

Tip for consumers:
I have listed a photo of my curtain rail to show how basic the job was of installing a new cord within it. This itself should state how the company offer a poor service.

Always reliable and the item/s ordered are always well packaged.

A huge variety of stationary and of excellent quality but the odd item can be a little steep in price, but the quality is what exceeds this.

The site is clearly a ' Scam ' and the proof of this is in the messages you receive. I have had the identical message which has a reoccuring format to it from two separate women. It seems like it is based on an automated service and I have even received on more than one occasion an email which started ' Dear ' and then the email itself. I read into this where my name was forgotten to be put into a draft which had been pre-written. Another example that came about via the live talk facility was a lady commenting on my smile in my profile picture despite me being very straight faced. Again I have had duplicate and identical messages, and this was from different separate ladies. The messages received are general philosophy and could relate to anyone in general who receives them... Via the chat facility the messages received generally start with your name as the first word, which personalises it, and then a silly phrase or question eg: Would you like a beautiful woman to clean and cook for you? Or I love that you are the last person I think of before I go to sleep...

Tip for consumers:
Take note of the regular format in the messages you receive and you will notice that they are all drafts, and that the message/s could RELATE TO ANYONE reading them as they are never personal.
