The Pipeline Card scheme truly is a scam.

[JonB]

Always had my doubts and everytime I recieve an update from "Ben SCAMmel" I get more and more convinced that it is just a ploy to advertise to hundreds of thousands of people.

This month: - £20 Virgin Wines voucher.

[UnknownStuntm...]

+1 mate.

I've been on that mailing list since it began and I've had absolutely nothing in the way of helpful information on how to reduce my fuel bill.

Ben was trying hard to begin with I think (well that's the impression I got) but for just over 18 months it's been just bollocks.

Ben - if you're reading this, you're full of shit. And I'm still paying too much for my fuel. So jog on.

So 1/2 million people aint enough to get any sort of discount from one of the major companies..... They are looking for 5 to 7 p a Ltr....
Surely they could manage to get a 1 or 2 p discount with that many members....

Pull the other one.....

Sounds like what started off as something with good intentions is now being side tracked.
You often see the likes of Virgin wine vouchers being handed out for this sort of stuff anyway....

Virgin know that either they dont get used or people end up spending far more......

I was getting his updates for a while, but now just have him as spam. Kept on saying how hard he was working to gety theings done but like you say with so many people signed up you would think you would get at least 3% off the price. Just a load of tosh.

In the words of Clarkson, it isn't expensive at all.

Hell I don't think it's ever been that high to make me complain.

The one thing that bugs me though is how much the government tax it.

Give the guy a break. Do you think the filth running the oil companies are in any hurry to do the working man a favour?

So you get the occasional email. Have you had any direct spam, any indication he's sold his data-base to the marketing vermin?

And if you're going to get anything passed to you from a corporation, it won't get better than Virgin. Richard Branson is the only mega-rich person I have any respect for, mainly because I have direct personal knowledge of his inherent decency. I'll drink his free wine any day of the week.

It costs you nothing to field the occasional email from Ben. Zip, nada, squat. So lighten up and save your ire for the real criminals, the government and oil corporations. They are the scum raping your pockets. All Ben's trying to do is help us lot catch a bit of a break.

Have to agree with Hetzer here, Pipeline are not asking you to make any kind of donations so for them to get the odd sponsor to help cover the running cost doesnt seem like such a big deal.

With respect, i'd rather my updates were filled with no news rather than unsolicited advertising, which it is. I signed up for a Pipeline Car and it's associated updates, not advertising.

There is a huge difference.

[JonB]

Only if you spend £50 or over.

Seems Virgin are throwing these £20 coupons around all over the place if you look on google.

[andrew]

Ouch! Someone mentions having to spend 59 pound odd.

[JonB]

Exactly, I apologise for not being clear at the start.

It's a pure scam, think of the commission Ben Scammel would be getting from this.

It's absolutely no wonder he wants more members to join up.

Another greedy, self important spin meister who claims to do something for everybody, but is doing it for himself.
