Facebook/ Messenger.com and Wish

Never heard of wish.com before but a bit of searching shows that it is legit but delivery can be slow as most goods are coming from China. Personally I?d never use a social media account to create an account with a company. That data of yours is a sellable product!

Incidentally facebook own messenger.

Most adverts I see from wish seem like low-rate JML items, I've seen reviews in youtube where what turns up is second hand and/or fake PC components.

That's why I don't use Facebook much

That explains it thanks...

There terms of service are remarkably one-sided. They try to repudiate any responsibilty for anything that their sellers do, while making the most onerous demands on their customers. For instance, one that caught my eye is that you must undertake to use your "most current" email address for their service, whatever that means.

I would not in any circumstances use their service, especially as a quick glance suggests that what they are selling is junk.

if it seems too good to be true than it usually is, especially when advertised on Facebook

Most goods advertised on Facebook seem to be very overpriced. Often you can find the same items on Amazon or Ebay at a fifth of the price.

Thanks all. No, they are not advertising on Facebook, they are just using FB or rather Messenger for messaging.

I didn't win the bargains, but now I have had a full refund, inc. delivery. I thik the way there bargains work where you have to 'win' them, is that many might not have a Facebook account, so will not bother claiming the refund. They do not seem to refund without your having to go into Messenger and actually click to reclaim your payment. Rather than the 24 hours suggested, it was 48 hours.

Its like cold callers, just ignore them. I do not use mugbook myself and anything they spawn needs to be investigated, as they obviously dropped the ball so many times on data tracking that nobody trusts them as far as they can see them. Brian
