Aibu?
I'm looking to buy an under desk walking pad and height adjustable desk and so the spies that are g👀gle and faceache have obviously picked up on this fact.
My feed has lots and lots of ads for these and every single one of them that looks remotely legitimate you click comeback with too good to be true prices. I have been looking at one on a genuine fitness site costs £289.00, same model on an IG ad £27.00. I've checked a few of them and most come in under £50 in said "targeted ads" Is it just a front to steal your details do you think?
I've only very recently made my first purchase on Wowcher and even then I was still very sceptical, thinking I was going to receive a picture of the item as it was so cheap in comparison to similar I'd bought on Amazon last year - (battery operated heated gilet 8.99) and when it eventually come some 3 weeks later it's better quality than the one I paid £79 for.
Anyone had any good experiences? Would you take a punt?

When I've seen adverts for bags, clothes, shoes etc, I always check reviews and invariably the feedback is overwhelming negative - quality of goods, goods not received, no communication etc etc.
