    Facebook users beware.

    I got sucked in to a beauty for pain gummies that looked so legit. Same it was charged in US dollars and I ordered some that supposedly cost $50. Total bill was over $500 for things they decided they'd add on my behalf. I immediately contacted them by email to cancel the order and...

    'What do you say to those people?' Data reveals Services Australia put on hold a staggering 7 million calls in 2023

    Centrelink has appalling customer service. Average wait time 48 minutes.if you're lucky. More like 1 hour and 48 minutes. Ask five people the same question and get 5 different answers or no one knows the answe to your question. Most of them would be on Centrelink benefits if they...

    Legal issues force Services Australia to pause 86,000 Centrelink debt repayments. Are you affected?

    Centrelink would honestly have to be the most uninformed and rude staff that know zero of any government department out there. Anything to do with any government department is hopeless. I have been told by one non English speaking person, I don't know anything. Another one told me...

    Shopper accuses Woolworths of 'daylight robbery' after being charged excessive grocery prices

    These so called specials sometimes can be ok but face it, the supermarkets are not going to lose so whilst they maybe mark something down, they will put other products up. If you put 20 products up by 10 cents, you've covered the marked down cost of the special. Nothing is for free! They...
