Dodgy Adverts

I am sure that most people now just glance at most adverts in magazines without rushing out to buy the products, but I was particularly annoyed at one full-page ad that appeared in last months "Saga" magazine. (For those that are not aware, this monthly mag is aimed at the over 50's so I have no idea why they send it to me )

If there is one thing I will not tolerate, it is outrageous claims made in mags and newspapers and I often wonder how the papers are allowed to print them

In case you cannot see all the print from the thumbnail, I will give you the gist of what they are saying:

Firstly, they point out that this product is mainly for those that do not even know how to turn on a P.C, and by buying their course, you can learn IN TWO HOURS!! the following:

What sort of computer you need if you do not have one,
Type and print your own letters with no mistakes or grammatical errors,
Get to grips with word processing, spreadsheets,accounts, desktop publishing.....even games!
Learn how to create Christmas and Birthday cards,
Design your own letter heads and business cards,
PLUS..... Discover how to use the "world Wide Web"
Learn about e-mails, send photo's to anyone around the world...
and you will also learn how to "tweak" your P.C. to make it go faster!!

If you can learn all that in just 2 hours, just imagine what you can learn in a day!

You can buy a copy of this amazing program for just £11.90 inc postage but if you buy 2 copies, you save £4.00!!!
Eer, Why would anyone want two copies????

Finally, they ask that you fill in the form giving your name, Address, Post code, Date of Birth, Card Number, Start date, Expiry Date, and Issue number.

Couldn't you have some fun with a pensioners life savings if you managed to intercept the post!!

Oh yea, If you are not delighted with the product you have one year to return it for a full refund......
