Groupon Mother's Day Hephalump Deal- Weeds and 6 chocolates worth £52?


Today's Groupon Scam comes from London, and there are a LOT of unhappy customers today!



Groupon offered:


'Bouquet of Flowers with Chocolates and Personalised Card for £19 from Hephalump Cards (Value £52.48)'


Unfortunately, Groupon customers received what they have described as '6 weeds and a bar of chocolate', hardly worth £52. And many didn't receive anything at all.



Here's what customers has to say about what they received:


'Flowers and chocolates I ordered were not delivered on time and when they did come today (too late for Mother's Day) they were the wrong flowers, dead flowers, and then wrong chocolates.'


' Paid an additional £14.99 for Sunday delivery and they never arrived.'


'Finally arrived on Monday, small brown roses, brown as they were dead on arrival.'


'In the same boat, no flowers despite paying £15 for delivery.'



'Better described as 6 weeds, and a bar of chocolate.'



'My mother-in-law received a box of dead weeds and 6 chocolates! So embarassed.'



Customers are trying to contact Groupon and Hephalump but neither are answering the phone or emails.


Some more observant customers have looked up the bouquet on Hephalump, and found that they are selling it for £18, not the £47 Groupon claimed. So they would have saved £1 getting the flowers directly from Hephalump.


To the right is a photo of what was actually received from Hephalump by one customer. Certainly not a bouquet of 'purple chysanthemums, white roses, and purple carnations' advertised by Groupon. And definitely not worth £52!!!!
