I got stung the other day by a Groupon clone here in Australia. My wife asked me to buy the daily deal, which I did, without checking it properly. The business in question doesn't exist.
Looks like the daily deal company did absolutely no checking that it was legit or the business did as this article suggests and knew they were going bankrupt anyway.
I started asking around and found a few similar stories from friends and colleagues. Hoping to see all of this hit the news soon.
- forgingahead 15y agoWell that's fraud on an entirely different level from what this article suggests, but that's still crummy. Which clone was it?
- Terry_B 15y agoAbsolutely, but it's quite likely that it highlights a systemic problem with this type of business which the article discusses. Shadier business owners can abuse it. Rhymes with Groupon.
