Beware adverts on the internet

this is one of the biggest reasons to always use an adblocker online, especially on social media sites ... Facebook for example KNOWS many of the ads it shows are fraudulent but they are that greedy for the ad revenue ... some Facebook ads clearly have a persona that is AI-generated, pretending to be in a western country while clearly in Asia, some ads try to look like buttons of the Facebook interface to lure you into clicking them which then opens a fullscreen pop-up window that is difficult to close and tries to trick you into thinking your device is infeceted with malware so you will contact the advertise to give them money to rescue you

Funding the Internet via ads is an absolute rubbish idea, ads were safer on tv and in print, the Internet is a totally different threat environment

Even ifg the advertising looks as if from a genuine seller, not a complete fraud attempt, technical devices like that can be tested by applying a little basic, lay- or school- level, scientific and engineering knowledge.

For an air-conditioner or anything pretending to perform the same task, the right question to ask is, "How and whence does it exhaust the extracted heat?" As you cool a room only by transferring heat from it to the exterior.

Do the supposed technical terms in the ads make real technical sense or are they at best superfluous, at worst thoroughly misleading?

Phrases like "engineer-designed" mean nothing because you cannot make any electrical or mechanical device unless an engineer has designed it - but that is not itself a guarantee of quality or effectiveness and that can bring the profession of Engineering into disrepute.

(Similarly with expensive houses "architect designed": of course an architect designed them, but could have been told to design for low-quality so cheap construction and maximum profit.)


Treat ALL supposed medical or health products as false unless proveably from a reputable, established supplier. You should not take any "medicines" without a doctor's advice anyway, apart from the normal, basic over-the-counter remedies for mild tummy upsets, sunburn, insect stings and the like.

And be sure to always use paypal and a credit card so you have two security methods you can access to get your money back should it turn out to be fraud. Never ever give your CC details to a site you have never dealt with before. If they do not accept paypal or another payment method move along. It will likely be on Amazon anyway.

This is why I only buy things from actual physical stores I can walk into and which have staff I can have a discussion with

I ordered 2 of these and found them to be not as advertised. I got a full refund and got to keep the devices.

Checked on TrustPilot yesterday and the website has now closed down

Buying on-line is very handy providing you know what your buying, we simply have to be careful, I wouldn't recommend Facebook I have bought small items which were never delivered. So Buyer Beware.

The internet, and especially Fakebook, are packed with scams.

Those units are all over the internet. It's a total scam. It's nothing more than a long squirrel cage fan like a regular window AC unit uses.

lots of scam ads on fb

I've flagged some obvious scams on Facebook before. They just blew me off. I don't know what's wrong with them
