Hello Folks,

It's now October and the non-existant summer is long gone.

I have recieved a few more emails from people who have been scammed (or scams attempted on them). Nearly all of these relate to pet ads on everything.ie. As I have said before do not pay for anything (pet or otherwise) before you see it and you cannot go too far wrong.

I do not police everything.ie nor am I responsible for the ads that are placed on it. If you see an ad that you think is illegal, unfair or an attempted scam, please click on the 'Report an Ad' link (at the bottom of every ad) and have it send it to me. I'll have a look at the ad and generally remove it if there is anything fishy looking about it. Otherwise I DO NOT MODERATE THIS SITE and so please use your own discretion and common sense when using everything.ie. And if you see something that looks worng, REPORT IT TO ME.

That aside, more and more people are using everything.ie each month.

The winners of the €100 prize for the past 3 months are:

July- David Kelly (Dublin)
August - Susan Murphy (Galway)
September - Robert Hughes (Dublin)

Congratulations and keep posting ads.
Thanks,
Robert

Hello Folks,


Hope you are all enjoying the lovely weather and having a good summer despite it.

As you may have noticed everything.ie was down a bit recently. This was due to the server getting overloaded by nasty robots trying to place millions of spammy ads for various crap at once.

The end result was that I think I have stopped it from happening again and the site should be back to normal now.

The winners of the €100 give away were:
May - Tony Byrne (Dublin)
June - Robert Byrne (Dublin)

Keep placing ads and you may be a lucky winner too!

Thanks,
Robert

Hi folks,

Hope you all had an EGGcellent easter. I still have two thirds of a regular sized Twirl egg and an entire (larger 585gram egg) Crunchie egg with 6 bars to get through so I'm still happy/morbidly obese.

The March winner of €100 was David Kinsella and Aprils contest is set to be an even more tightly fought affair as many more ads are being published each day.

Thankfully the recent spate of scam pet ads appears to have abated, one can only hope that the crafty attempted scammers have found employment or a painful death.

As I've said before only buy items that are in Ireland that you can see in person before buying and you are less likely to go wrong.

Enjoy the improving weather,
Robert

Hello Folks,

I have got a number of complaints about the large numbers of attempted scams in the pets for sale section recently and so have removed all of the ads from the section in an effort to stop this (sorry if I have removed your genuine ad).

Most of the scams offer pets that are in Africa, the owner claims they will post them to you. These are all scams, you will not be sent a cute puppy, monkey etc if you pay these people, you will just loose your money.

Use your common sense in these situations. Why would a person in Africa sell their pet to someone in a different continent, its an awful lot of trouble? And more importantly why would someone who deeply cared for their animal be willing to POST it to you in Ireland. I've seen similar ads appearing in a lot of Irish classifieds websites recently it seems to be the latest attempted scam.

As with all other ads on everything.ie my advice is: DO NOT BUY ITEMS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES AS THEY ARE ALMOST ALWAYS ATTEMPTED SCAMS. Do not buy something unless you can see it in person and try it out. And above all if something seems too good to be true, then it probably is.

Please don't let a few idiots put you off using the site, if nobody falls for scams then the scammers will stop trying to scam and may do something more useful like finding a job.

Thanks,
Robert

Oh and on a lighter note the €100 give away winner for January was David Spollen of Dublin and Breda O'B... more
