Just wondering, does anyone else get annoyed with these acai berry, protein powder, and sneaker people?

Some people are asking questions that are really important to them and these people respond with thier ads, does anyone ever go to the sites they push? Just wondering.

Update:

Dont fall for the free trial, they ask for your credit card for shipping and handling but them they start charging you for the product and it is very difficult to get them to stop. If you read the ads, all of it, you will see they admit it doesnt work, the FDA will not let them make false claims.

    Yes we are all sick of them. All we can do is report them and have some of their rubbish removed.

    We will never get rid of all of them, but if everyone reported them it would stop some people clicking on links which lead to dodgy sites for products that don't work and may scam you out of a lot of money.

    Yes, unfortunately people do go to the sites, then they find they have lost a lot of money from ordering the so called "free trials", and they come here asking for help to get some of their money back.

    Keep reporting :)

    Ah God i've got have been given been reading that rubbish for over a 365 days now lol i'm used to it, besides the undeniable fact that it although frustrates me on an identical time as i think of of somebody gave me a actual answer and that i are available in the process now no longer something yet those classified ads! ahh. Thats now no longer even the greater severe section. Luckly yahoo did some factor approximately this lol, yet there became as quickly as bots that could desire to ask a query like "What am i able to do to shed kilos swifter?" and yet yet another bot could answer "hi all human beings choose directly to shed kilos swifter! i understand i did and that i took acai berry! (long answer, link)" Then the bot that printed it would opt for on that and say "thank you! it particularly works!" lol

    i think those ads they keep putting up are so dumb and i never go onto the website as it probably has some malicious software (viruses) which will affect ur pc.
