No doubt it'll be a waste of time as usual, with the ASA issuing their 867th slap on the wrist, but I've just reported Gemporia yet again.
Blatant misleading TWICE when selling a pair of 9k gold Cultured Pearl earrings.
Jess Foley claimed "We could take these pearls and probably sell them for ten times the price you're going to be paying today, at least. You could go on and do that, we can't stop you doing that." Dave Troth chips in "If you're going to do that, I'd buy two pairs and for goodness sake, keep one."
This was implying the earrings were worth far more than Gemporia was selling them for. In my opinion, it also encouraged people to recklessly multi-buy, in order to sell on, with no guarantees that they could make a profit on the items - or even recover the amount that they purchased them for from Gemporia.
At the end of the day, if Gemporia believed their earrings were worth "ten times more" than they're selling them for, then they'd sell them for ten times the price - particularly when it is public knowledge that they've had financial difficulties.
Yes, because all struggling businesses sell things for ten times less than they're worth, out of the goodness of their hearts, for s**ts and giggles.............
But they didn't stop there. About 5 minutes after this claim was made, they then showed a price comparison - but the price comparison was not 'like-for-like'. They compared a screenshot of a retailer selling 18k white gold earrings - and waffled on about how much higher in price they were. Gemporia's were 9k gold....................
Shysters.
