    Hi I click on a facebook ad "Ipad testes wanted on facebook" Turned out to be a advert for free lotto. In the terms and conditions there was no reference to Ipad or testers or apple. to me its a misleading advertisement and Facebook should know better than to allow this.

    Same people who ran that advert advertised After Hours as the Consumer Issues forum.

    edit: I didn't realise you had gone to the trouble of creating a 21 page dossier on the experience. :D

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    As long as you're not 13, I wouldn't worry.
