I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept My word, and hast not denied My name.
- Revelation 3:8
@vuecinemas@VueHelp Really disappointed with the condition of the seats. When booking, there was no warning that they were damaged and in such poor condition. I expect seats that are properly maintained. This really needs addressing. Staff, however, were fantastic great service.
@StarbucksUK Thank you for the Beckton refurbishment. It looks fantastic! I’m genuinely grateful that you listened to customer feedback and acted on it so quickly. The store feels fresh, modern and welcoming. ☕️💚 #CustomerService#StarbucksUK
A few people not quite getting the point saying "but you recommeded Quotum". Of course I didn't, I don't do adverts. This was a fake news story by scammers (ie organised crime) pretending to report me saying something on the TV!
THEY ARE BASTARDS!
We just got an email sent to MSE. The spelling was awful, and it was quite tough to understand. Lower down, the writer later explained she was 78 and her disability had stopped her being able to spell. So perhaps it is a stroke, or something similar.
I've tidied it and summarised below, changing some identifying details. In a nutshell, it was this...
"I invested, Martin, with Quotum when you first announced it on TV. What an opportunity for me to buy my own flat. My manager there passed me through to a nice man who asked me for £350 more. He showed me it was growing. I did what he told me to do."
She then goes on to explain how she really wanted her flat and she gave more and more money. And she has nothing left to help with her disability.
I'm honestly in tears typing this. These types of scam ads have now been going on for a decade. I have spent my career trying to help people with their finances. It feels visceral to get this, and to feel that this reputation has been perverted by criminals to steal from someone who is clearly so vulnerable leaves me feeling nauseous.
So many people, both vulnerable and not, lose money and see their lives and wellbeing destroyed. It's now seven years since I sued Facebook. And yet still nothing is being done.
Big tech makes £3bn a year from these scammers. We have a law in place to make them responsible for these ads they're paid to publish, yet it isn't implemented. How many more of these do I have to receive - and far worse, how many more people have to go through this?
This is relentless. It is wrong. Government has to take action! I wrote to the PM just two weeks ago on this very issue. I've not heard back yet.
(We are, of course, going to try and point her in the right direction to get help, but that will be stressful for her too)
@StarbucksUK Sorry only just seen your reply. Thank you for reply and I went to this branch today which was closed for refurbishing 🙌🏿 💫. Thank you and I can’t wait to see the new look ☕️ 🥐 🥪
@StarbucksUK I love your products, but the seating at this branch is badly worn and feels unclean. It really takes away from the cosy ‘home from home’ vibe, and friends have refused to meet here because of it. Hope this can be looked into ☕️ #Beckton#Newham
