    Scam at Coles.

    Scam at Coles. I wanted to let members know, that I do online grocery shopping at Coles. I am sure that many of us do. The service is excellent. I received a text message today, saying that it was Coles, with a link to get a Coles voucher for $30.00. I was suspicious, and called Coles directly...

    The heartbreaking reason why this grocery is finally ditching self-serve checkouts!

    May as well! I am honest, and we pay for the thefts that occur. Bunnings loses $200 million dollars a year in theft. The staff are not allowed to challenge customers, even when they suspect theft. So who pays for the thefts at Bunnings? You and I, honest customers do. Makes me angry that...

    Qantas Rip-off

    Qantas Rip-off I wanted to warn our members, about the big Qantas rip-off. My young daughter has MS, and walks with a stick. Her husband decided that she deserved a wonderful trip to Disneyland with her 2 young children. To reserve your seat on the flight, it’s an extra $60 per person to have a...

    Daily Newsletter 28.08.2023

    Nearly scammed today. Someone posing as “express VPN” sounded suspicious. They requested credit card details. They already had numbers, but not expiry date. Sounded legitimate, but checked with husband, and he said it was a scam. Beware to readers, as it looked real. Never disclose credit card...

    Are your phone and internet providers shortchanging you? Ombudsman demands new rules!

    Absolutely! Telecommunications ombudsman is first, then A Current Affair. When A current Affair gets involved, watch the action then! Same issue with my mother. Problem magically disappeared! Gezabel.

    Disability, NDIS.

    I appreciate otime for feedback. Apparently the same MRI machine must be used, because of the variation of information with different machines. She has enough on her plate to deal with, but $900 is insulting. My husband and I will pay, not even a question. It’s the principle that matters. What...

    Disability, NDIS.

    Disability, NDIS. Is it just me or do I have a right to be upset? My daughter is married, with 2 beautiful children. She has MS, yet struggles to work to help the budget. She has a disability parking permit also. She has been sick for 10 years. She has to have the annual MRI, now due. She gets...

    'Forced shakedown' at Woolworths checkout has shoppers outraged

    I am with you. Service has gone rotten. Went to deli for sliced meat, and got told that they don’t slice meat until 9.00am. Pathetic customer service. Done with Woollies for good, and from now on, it’s IGA or Coles. It’s a disgrace. To top it off, I might get $10 off with rewards dollars once a...

    Could your headache medication contain a dangerous ingredient? Check now for this 'hypnotic sedative'

    I nearly died after taking Nexium. Popular over the counter medication. My sodium level was almost lethal, and I had full on convulsions. If my husband had not witnessed the seizure, I could have had my granddaughters in car, and killed myself and them too. It’s for reflux, so please be careful...

    Shoppers are calling this $69 ALDI travel item a ‘must-have’

    Don’t bother trying to get one. Was there at 8.30 on Wednesday morning, and they had 4 available. After getting trampled trying to get one, I left. Found similar from Kmart for $70 free delivery. Never again. Gezabel.

    Outrageous or justified? See why one sibling received a house while the other fumes with anger

    The only thing that these stupid parents have done, is ensure the 2 siblings never speak again, and rip family apart. Now left the expense of legal action as well. What idiots!

    Outrageous or justified? See why one sibling received a house while the other fumes with anger

    Legally, she can’t have it. Both siblings are entitled to half. The courts would see it that way, as it’s unfair. If contested, she would get half. True.

    You won't believe what an Aussie shopper received after purchasing a $400 coffee table online

    That’s the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen. It’s like the one my kid made me at school. No offence to my son. I could have sent you a freebie, because the tip would not take it. True.

    Shocking new Australia Post scam: Sydney man urgently warns fellow Aussies

    I have had this happen to me also. I have a tip or 2. Downloaded Austpost app. All legitimate deliveries are there. Track in diary, yes, pen and paper! Every item that you’ve ordered, and delivery date. Never respond to a text, email is safer. I am afraid that technology may not be safe enough...

    Bee Gees Went to concert in Melbourne in 1990. They are legendary, but seeing them live is even better. Saw doco about Barry, and despite all their success and achievements, he quoted that, he would give up and give it all back in a heartbeat, to have his beloved brothers back. He was truly...
