AIBU to expect MN recommendations, where they quote a poster/member, to be genuine?
I like being able to rely on recommendations in MN swears by and other emails. I excitedly opened an email with the subject “Big bargains for our most loyal Mumsnetters” wondering what MN could make me buy this time (I should probably get other hobbies).
Imagine my surprise to see my own username quoted there with a recommendation! Imagine my further surprise when I realised it was a post I wrote almost 8 years ago, and it was being used directly under a specific product to give the impression I was recommending it - and I’ve never even owned that particular thing mine was more expensive.
I don’t like posts being misrepresented as a recommendation for a specific product. It makes me question the credibility of other MN recommendations.
Hoping I’ll manage to attach screenshots.
PS my gazebo broke but I’ve replaced it. Still not with the brand I supposedly recommended according to the MN email.
