Queenslanders being ripped off.
Warning to all Queenslanders
I would like to bring to the notice of all Queenslanders, that are purchasing filters and particularly Revers Osmosis filters, after the fluoridation of our drinking water.
Beware of who you purchase from: Really shop around.
Since this forced medication, there are a number of business, that are raising there prices well above there normal retail mark, particularly one that has doubled the price.
Though there is possibly more.
This is a blatant commercial exploitation, and customer rip-off.
The business that I wish to report is Filter Wizard.
http://www.filterwizard.com.au/
This company only a few days ago was selling a unit on Ebay buy it now at $280 plus $55 postage. Had quite a few for sale some with a week to go.
However within the last two days, on his web site he is selling the same unit for $650 Free delivery and free, install (which any person can do).
However when I asked how much for the unit if I picked it up and installed myself, I was quoted $580.
I went back to his site on Ebay, and noted he had removed all his listings.
So Queenslanders Beware: shop around, there are a multitude of sharks out there, now preying on people that do not wish to participate in the fluoride medication.
Deal with a reputable business, you can still get the same quality this shark is selling for around $245 to $320, in the southern states.
And of course there is Oztion and Ebay.
Don't fall prey to a shark.
People like this should be reported to the ACCC.
