bluemonday Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Well call me Mister Picky but wouldn't this be the sort of thing to put on the 'internet' perhaps on a bit of the Manx Government website.............. Edit to add Well I see they have at http://www.gov.im/oft/consumers/internetshopping.xml Shame the Beeb couldn't mention that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Hmm, a little misleading, particularly the bits that come from the distance selling regs. There's some pretty vital exceptions to those regs, eg internet auctions. Also, your credit card offers you some protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gags Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 What the OFT being pro-active?? I would presume their 'advice' would read along the lines of - if it is off island dont even think of contacting us, and if it is on island dont bother either! Does anyone know how many success stories this outfit have had? A further waster of tax dollars..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
