-
I’ve been receiving lots of targetted ads from Poodle who are advertising 3 avios (or other points currencies) per £1 of spend of marketing or to HMRC. Their ads are making a point of saying they get around Google’s recent targeted ban on credit card payments (which I’ve been affected by).
In anyone familiar with what their business model / offer is?? They mention GBP to GBP FX conversion but I’m still struggling to see how they could make money without significant surcharges….which I’m not interested in.
It all sounds too good to be true so I’m sure it is. I’m curious though if anyone can explain how it works?
@M001 – as the name suggests, it’s a dog. And sufficiently flea ridden to steer well clear. It’s been mentioned in the forums before, possibly now deleted to give you a measure of the ‘product’.
Consensus in the previous thread was “scam”
