I've just been reading the various posts here regarding the scam by viv3 to charge "free trial" subscribers credit cards every 30 days if the 'subscription' is not cancelled by telephone. This has prompted me to consider the technicalities under which this 'agreement' must surely be broken? When subscribing to or purchasing any product online, the 'terms and conditions' are prompted in an information box whereby the subscriber/purchaser must agree to accept those conditions before proceeding with the... read full review »

Don't use this site. I signed up for a 'free' three day trial ( which cost $4) . My credit card bill indicated that this company had billed me for $35. They did not have the software I was looking for - all I got was some dodgy download application. They are impossible to contact, naturally... read full review »

I went to cuts &creations hair salon in Loughrea, co Galway to get hi lights and low lights done. The owner Elaine suggested full head colour and half head hi lights. I agreed, one of the girls Paula did my colour and then hi lights, and when she finished she put the heat machine on and over my head and left. No one checked on me for about 15-20min, the machine was very hot, burning my head and I pushed it away. I told Paula my problem, she said its normal and went home as she finished her shift. I sat there for another few minutes and... read full review »

Hi, I ordered a bikini from Spoiled Kitty Lingerie (now dreamgirlintimates.com) in April and paid for the item. I never received a confirmation email and never received the item. I contact the company hundreds of times, sending ten emails daily. Eventually I received a reply from "Kevin Freed" saying he would help me with my problem. I never heard from him again. I continued to email them from other email addresses. This week (5 months later) I received a confirmation email of my order. It appears to be false, and... read full review »

A month ago, I ordered Resveratrol Extract capsules from Viv3, as they happened to be running a special Free Trial Offer through one of the advertising boards on hotmail. The Trial Offer consisted of a supply of 30 capsules at a total cost of USD $5.93 for postage & packaging. The product arrived with a very basic invoice confirming that I had been charged. I was checking my bank balances online and noticed a charge to my credit card on the 2nd of August for USD $118.63 by Natureberry, I had no idea what this was for so I contacted... read full review »

As a long time traveler, I have heard from others the horror stories of Auto rental. I have heard them speak of a reluctance to travel in Ireland because of the exhorbitant rates and fees which are levied at the local level. We veteran travelers can attest that Irish car rentals can be compared to playing a shell game at a carnival. I, as a norm, avoid that by renting from Kemwel, a brokerage company, which provides, usually, the lowest rates and the least likelihood of excess local fees being charged. After my last trip over in May of... read full review »

My partner and I along with two friends (another couple) booked with the Sycamore back in March. We booked as soon as we heard U2 were playing there, even before we got the tickets for the gig! We were relieved to have secured a booking as we knew Dublin would book up very quickly, so a nice B&B not far from the centre and not far from Croke Park was ideal. My partner had been in running contact with the Proprietor of the B&B since booking, including an e-mail the day before our arrival to further confirm the booking. We stated we... read full review »

Today 25th of july myself my uncle and my two cousins stopped at an esso on the run on the n11 from wicklow to dublin heading to drogheda. We had just left our camp site as we had been camping since wednesday. I had very little money left and decided it would be handier to stop at a garage on the way home to purchase something to eat. I usually like the food out of these stores and so passed many garages until we found an on the run. I went inside to buy a bread roll with butter and cheese. that is all i wanted and assuming that since it wa... read full review »

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.

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 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.

Family friends then asked if i could get them tickets, the night before they went on sale to the general public.
