"First an apology: We're sorry that we ever took a sponsored link in the B3ta newsletter that mentioned Zappideals. We're sorry that the good(ish?) name of B3ta is being dragged through the mud and we're sorry if you have given these people your money.
The background? We occasionally run ads via a company called Bragitup - they got in touch suggesting we run one for Zappideals offering a cheap Kindle. We were a little suspicious about it as it was cheaper than Amazon so we asked Bragitup to check them up. They assured us that the Kindle was a loss leader to generate new customers. This seemed reasonable so we ran the ad.
Then the complaints started trickling in. We sent these to Bragitup who worked tirelessly behind the scenes talking to Zappideals getting messages that the Kindles would be sent, will be sent, are being sent etc.
Bragitup wrote a blog detailing these problems but it got taken down. Why? Well Zappideals threatened legal action against Bragitup. They might possibly threaten legal action against this so we're writing it carefully - there's several things we'd like to say about them which we'll refrain from. So imagine the kind of stuff we'd like to say. We bet you can do it.
And still the complaints come. Daily. Opening the B3ta mail is depressing. Going on Twitter is horrible. We're sorry we ever heard of these people. You're sorry. Our dead cat Rocky is sorry.
One thing - we haven't profited from this - on the unlikely chance we ever get paid for the advertising (and the chance would seem slim) the money will go to charity.
Comments are closed on this because we know it'll take minutes before legally actionable stuff will appear from angry people and it'll then be used to close this post down removing our chance to apologise and get a clear message out."
