I think I am gullible too, Ma. I ordered some merchandise from one of those coupon deals. They debited my bank, but no delivery. When I e-mailed them after a few weeks, they couldn't find my order. But my bank had been debited anyway! They have since found my order, so waiting to see if they deliver .

I tried looking up their web-site, as hadnt heard of them, but the first thing they wanted was my e-mail address. No thank you! disbelief But now I cant even find out what they sell. Oh, well. Good luck with them Ma, hope they come good before your Tas trip!

A good warning to others out there Ma. It can happen to any of us. I only buy online if they use paypal. They have to be legit to be able to use it. So far so good.
Everything I've ever ordered has arrived. Now waiting on an ezyline which should arrive any day and also some more wheels for my poptop crossarms from caravans plus who are fantastic to deal with as already bought 4, need another 2 before the work starts.
If you can't even get hold of them that is a bad sign. Good communications is the first key.

Check this site https://www.scamwatch.gov.au/content/index.phtml/tag/reportascam/ There is also a call centre number on this site.

Is this the actual website.... www.livingsocial.com  ?

Are they located in Australia?

Do they have a phone number and a location address?

livingsocial isn't a scam. Sadly, you've just experienced poor customer service.

Sounds like you may have utilised their offer(s) Gordon and they have come through.

Good for you.  They do have some great deals on there would be a pity if they weren't on the up and up.
