Default I thought it was illegal for companies to lie about their products
I bought two things online last week.

A camcorder for £180, and a smartphone for £160.

The camcorder boasted a 20mp HD camera. A LIE. Turned out to be barely 1mp camera. So I sent it back.

The smartphone boasted of a 8mp camera. A LIE. Turned out to be well below 1mp. In fact the picture was so bad. Grainy and then blurry in places. So I sent it back.

Lies, lies, lies.

If the Data was Wrong
it should be sent back

Model number means you can sub check it
on other sites


No time to send back etc,

Life is Short

Well I have sent both back. But these companies should be reported for outright lying to make a sale.

Where is your evidence to back up your claims?

You're after my bank statement?

Sorry I cannot send you the camera and phone for you to test yourself.

I have sent them back.

The camcorder was bought on Amazon, and the phone on Ebay.
