Be cautious about falling for popup ads on places like Facebook, and other platforms that cater to the bots who spy on your "social media" searches. A little over two months ago, I fell for a slick video ad on Facebook for a set of spring loaded cable assists for raising and lowering trailer ramps. Since I extended the drive-on ramps on one of my trailers, I've needed a second person to assist me in raising the ramps after loading up a vehicle. An online seller called "Full Parts and Tools" seemed to have just what I needed, so I ordered a set. 6 weeks later- - - -no delivery! I finally found a "customer service" contact, and started rattling cages- - - - -got a bunch of mealy-mouthed excuses. I began a campaign of comments on every ad I could find from the company, accusing them of being scammers, and they would delete each comment within a few hours. "Customer Service" finally blamed one of their vendors, "Car Home Depot" for botching up the order. Two days ago, fully two months after I ordered and paid for the merchandise, it finally arrived. I haven't opened the package to see if it's actually what I ordered (or if it will work "as advertised"), but "Buyer Beware"- - - - -if you happen to see an ad from either company and get tempted to do any business with them!
