Groupon Glasgow Scam

Today's Groupon Scam comes from Groupon Glasgow and Ashkora Restaurants. According to the website you save 62%. Unfortunately, you save about £4 total not £32.50 as Groupon claims.


The fine print of this deal states:


'Valid for dine-in, a la carte menu only. Excludes mains over £10.95, naan over £2.95, Tandoori Selection and King Prawn dishes. Valid Mon-Thur 12-6pm, Fri-Sat 12-5pm. Not valid Sun.'


Pay careful attention to the hours that you can use this voucher. Noon to 5pm on the weekend. Noon to 6pm on the weekdays. Fair enough amount of hours. Probably more of an early-bird special of lunch than a dinner.


So what do you get for this original value of a whopping £52.50?!?

A good amount of food, but I wouldn't really say £52.50 worth for 2 people. Especially at lunch time.

'>2 poppadums with onions (worth £2.75)

>2 starters (worth £5.95 each)

> 2 main courses (worth £10.95 each)

>1 rice (worth £3.50) and 1 regular naan to

share (worth £2.95)

>2 chias (Indian teas) (worth £4.50)

>2 Indian cakes (worth £5)'

Then Groupon states: 'To see the full menu click here.'

So I looked at the full menu, provided on Groupon's Website. Which states that Ashkora has a 'Supper Club' menu available from 5-6:30 PM. Roughly the same dinner times as the Groupon deal is valid.

Firstly, it states that 2 poppadums with onions are £1.95 extra not the £2.75 quoted above.

Then it says that a starter, main meal and rice or naan is £10.95 per person.

So for 2 people that's £23.85 (including the poppadums and onions.)

£23.85 is a BIG departure from the quoted original value of £52.50. Is Groupon trying to tell us that 2 Indian teas and 2 Indian cakes are a value of £28.65?!?

Ridiculous deal! And incredibly stupid of Groupon to provide this 'Supper Club' menu for people to be able to see they're being scammed. Unfortunately 265 other people have already bought this deal.
