Someone is SELLING the 2for1 Promo link!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just found a certain someone on a certain auction site SELLING the 2for1 Europe promotion link.

Here it is once again for FREE:

I am appalled by this. I have not sent the seller a message, but am contemplating this. Any thoughts anyone? Grrrr.

I once sent an email to a bidder on EBay who was going for a similar scam when someone was selling how to get 25,000 Delta miles free as a bonus for joining the IC club.

He was grateful.

I actually saw that on ebay earlier today also, it's amazing that some people can manipulate and search for information on the web but end up getting scammed with that kind of nonsense. I don't think any bids will go through.

I would report them to eBay. That community doesn't take kindly to scammers.

If you search for' Tesco' - about 75% of all 'items for sale' are just promo codes meant to have been individually sent to customers, but in fact available by looking at websites such as this one, and mse.com free of charge.

Thanks for posting this.

I would not bother about such a "seller" - just ignore it, him/her

What's Mse.com? And I'm assuming you don't mean www.mse.com

sorry - is short for money saving expert;

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/...d.html?t=80522

If ebay can pull the 2 for 1 link they can do us UK people a favour and pull all the tesco promo codes for sale - they give me a headache as have to filter through them all to find any genuine stuff for sale, when searching by 'tesco' - you get miles you see through tesco.

Have you guys seen the passport to privilage cert that someone is selling

http://cgi.ebay.com/CROWNE-PLAZA-FRE...QQcmdZViewItem

VERY SHAMEFULL!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you think that there is some other website out there that members get items cheaper or more "economical". I mean we think the world of FT and our coupon connection but what if there is a place that gives out free 2for1 IC certs or RA referrals on demand.

Kind of like if someone is laughing at us as we are laughing at ebayers

I guess this seller considers the 4K points worth $40, and let's not forget the $20 transfer fee, and then add in the $90 margin of profit...and you've got $150! What a bargain (for the seller).
