Megadeals.ph
Who would forget the online discount ad that made them infamous, the KFC ad which was so deceiving I actually purchased four vouchers! (or baka na-excite lang ako masyado sa discount na nakita ko. Lesson learned, read 100x terms and conditions before clicking the "Buy" button)
Anyhow, being an example of a deceiving group buying site, Megadeals does it again with this ad:
Did not even mentioned (well its in the terms and condition pa) that these products are Singapore replicas! Need I mention more, here's a screenshot of a customer already confused about the deal, who directed her question to Off the Racks via Facebook:
Need I mention more? You be the judge. Again, before getting too excited about group buying site deals, we bargain hunters must read terms and conditions 100 times for our own money's safety.
Dealspot.ph
I can't bear what Dealspot.ph "bright minds" has done to make it look like they are concerned with the recent Typhoon Sending victims. See for yourself:
They made it a marketing campaign to be able to reach their desired page likes in Facebook. The nerve. Mga opportunista. It sends chills down my spine that they have the guts to send enewsletters to their subscribers bearing pictures of victims (as seen above) and yet also have the courage to ask that we like their facebook page before they donate a certain amount of money to a certain foundation. Shame on them.
After several days (maybe karma struck them) they finally realized what they are bargaining for is stupid they sent another newsletter bearing these words:
I hope they also included a screen shot of the check they donated because I honestly dont trust dealspot.ph!
Aside from this, their offerings are all items that you can buy from Divisoria/Baclaran and are sold from Online Shops. Once they posted a product allegedly on a 40% (or something) but when I checked the online seller, they are actually selling it at a much cheaper price! so why bother purchasing it from dealspot.ph and why not buy directly from the online sellers (I think Im pertaining to Twilight Forever).
Lastly, I unsubscribed to their enewsletters (since I hate their product offerings) but still I was able to receive another mail from them! what a crappy website.
Will you trust these websites?
