Review of Facebook


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Facebook does not care about your…

Facebook does not care about your experiences on their platform. They are only using it to collect and farm out your data using algorithms. Also all their advertising and advertisers are scams and scammers where thousands of people lose their money regularly but they DO NOT CARE as it's another source of revenue to collect. Then they pretend to watch over posts for violence and abuse but allow foreigners to pretend they are beautiful women asking for your friendship. The government should regulate these con artists as Facebook is infected with abuse..

Review of Snackblend


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

So I didn't take my own advice by never…

So I didn't take my own advice by never purchasing anything advertised on Facebook and this time I fell for Snackblend.com Portable Smoothie Blender and sent them 40.95 euros for 3 as gifts back June 7, 2025. I have tried contacting them including following up on their address which turns out to be the address of another company. They also have a pretend tracking info link that leads nowhere. DO NOT....I repeat.....DO NOT purchase anything from this phony company. I have lost my hard earned money (40.95 euros) because I got sucked into the phony Facebook ad trap!!!!!!!!
******ADDITIONAL INFO...... I just received a refund back into my account from Snackblend. Don't ask me how it happened but I not only posted this negative review here but also demanded my bank to request a return of funds. Hope this helps the others I see others also posting after I posted this SCAM outfit. STOP BUYING FROM Facebook ADS!!!!!!

Review of PMT Online


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

What has happened to PMT?

What has happened to PMT?
The company has entered insolvency and appointed insolvency practitioners. Certain assets, including some stock, branding, and websites, have been sold to Gear4music Limited. The original company, however, still legally exists and remains responsible for its liabilities, but may not have funds to meet them.

Gear4music has purchased certain stock, together with certain intangible assets including websites and trademarks from the Administrators of PMT.

For clarity, Gear4music is not acquiring any part of PMT's trading business, nor any other assets or liabilities, and has no current plans to use the PMT trading name.

For the Music Community
The closure of PMT will be felt across the music community. It’s a change that will be felt not only by customers, but by the people behind the brand – and across the wider music community that PMT served for many years.

Like many of you, we were saddened to hear the news. Over the years, we’ve worked alongside the same suppliers, shared industry spaces, and even welcomed a few former colleagues into our team. This moment affects many people – and our thoughts are with everyone impacted.

Don't believe these fake positive…

Don't believe these fake positive reviews my wife got cheated into believing she was just paying for the course and now they keep taking money out her account. Never buy any course like this especially advertised on FB (they don't care) because once they get your banking info you're doomed.

Review of Prosperi Academy


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Scam reviews!!!!!!!

Scam reviews!!!!!!!
As in any online shopping buyer must be extremely aware that they may not get what was advertised or especially not get their money refunded. Warning....they pay strangers mostly from poorer countries to put in a bogus review so beware of this also.
Due your due diligence. Upon further investigation you will see this.....

Negative highlights
The website's owner is hiding his identity on WHOIS using a paid service
People stated that this site sells fake products
People voted this site as possible fraud on Scamadviser
Data-sensitive services provided on this website are hosted on a shared server.
This website is not trusted by Trend Micro
Also you will see this.....

We are not big fan of Prosperi Academy. It seems to be legit, but there is nothing legitimate. Based on our years of experience and observation, it usually turns into a scam whenever a company disrupts the market with an aggressive ad campaign. We see the same pattern in Prosperi Academy. It is a very new website, and its company operates from Cyprus, a major country for registering shell companies. Prosperi Academy has done nothing to prove it is a legitimate company or website.
HTML and techical analysis....

We previously found dangerous websites with the same page's title
The site has one or more scam website neighbors. This happens if the site is created on free hosting, or they use services like (Cloudflare), or the owner of this site massively creates scam sites.
Just remember.....

Earning money scams are a type of fraud that promise individuals an easy way to make money quickly and without much effort.

These scams can take many forms, but some common types include:

Work-at-home scams: Scammers advertise work-at-home opportunities that promise high-paying jobs, but instead require the victim to pay upfront for training or materials. Once the victim pays the fee, they never receive any work or income.

Pyramid schemes: Scammers recruit individuals to join a pyramid scheme, where they must pay a fee to join and then recruit others to do the same. The individual at the top of the pyramid earns the most money, while those at the bottom often lose their initial investment.

Trying to confirm my order after paying but no response....

I have sent at least 5 emails to different departments without a response. Originally received an order confirmation number but when trying to refer to it in an email the link was no longer valid. I have confirmation it went into their account but when I go to my orders link it says I have not ordered yet!!!!! What????

Please transfer the total amount of the order with your Order number M003192541 to the following account:
Beneficiary: MUSIC STORE professional GmbH
IBAN: DE40370501981902564291
Bank Account No.: 1902564291
BIC: COLSDE33XXX
Bank Name: Sparkasse KoelnBonn, Hahnenstr. 57, 50667 Koeln, GERMANY
Reason for Payment: M003192541

On my end my transfer shows they have my money but when I try to confirm on their end nothing! Also they can't be reached by phone! Am I being scammed here?

In response to your response.....You sent it after I tried to reach you. Still now when I go to my account it does not show an order exists. Yes afterwards I received your shipment and tracking number. I suggest you just answer emails so there will be no worry on the customers end. But thank you for shipping it.

Hi Paul McIlroy,
we cannot understand your description. The order to the order number you mentioned was already shipped the day after the order.
You have received a shipping email with the tracking number. Since you have not ordered via the login, the order is not visible in your customer login.

Review of Reverb


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Reverb makes it so easy to do business

Reverb makes it so easy to do business. I have purchased three guitars and it went very smoothly. They work under the K.I.S.S. principle......"Keep It Simple Stupid." Where other sites make life difficult and time consuming with links of redirections and confirmations and additional charges. Reverb has designed it so you're always dealing directly with a seller. The deal gets done you pay it arrives very quickly. Unlike other sites where they squeeze money out of both buyer and seller. Thank you Reverb. My go to site for buying guitars at least......
