What's the scam in this boiler advert?
It advertises a discontinued boiler which the company can't possibly have in stock. It must have ended production well over a decade ago. Today it's hard getting parts for it.
Is this a "bait and switch" tactic?
Maybe they never clear old products off their website?
Did they send the advert to you, or did you search for it?
I came across it because I am getting rid of the same model and Googled to know its central heating output.
That MyTub site (I copied the link below again) advertises a price including a claimed "RRP" that is actually higher than current competitive modern boilers. I don't know where their RRP comes from because that boiler has been discontinued for something like a decade and that isn't the old price.
MyTub claims to have a "distribution network of over 755 centers through out the UK", which suggests they're some sort of middle man or advert aggregator.
Yet no one else stocks this boiler (which is no surprise considering it's not available), so I don't now where they expect to supply one from.
