How can you let people like Myluckygift.com advertise on Candy Crush when they scam you. Money gone!

Question

I saw the advert for  a drone on Candy Crush. I paid and never got the product and cannot contact them at all. I thought they were reputable because it's through your game. It's just terrible

I do understand. And I usually do a  full search. I think this time I was just misled in that usually, certainly in my country at least and in most other places, when long prominent  adverts are displayed on websites of reputable companies or via apps of reputable companies, they have normally been vetted by those companies and are safe to buy from. For me and others to say that the ads attached to the Candy Crush app are scams seems probably the wrong publicity that a company needs. I cannot think of many good businesses that would be happy to know that their name is associated with cheap scams and in this case I let it fool me. Anyway... My money is gone, the discussion needs to go no further as it is fruitless.

I don't know your age but I am much older and I have learned over the years to trust any free things offered or anything that sounds too good to believe.  Sometimes I still end up buying something stupid but I am trying very hard to try remembering to first do a Google search for reviews and once I do that then I know that I'll never purchase anything from them.  You might want to keep that in mind for future purchases anywhere on the Internet.

Hi... Many thanks for taking the time to answer. The video adverts are there when I go from stage to stage in Candy Crush. They are repeated quite often. It certainly gives the impression that they are paying King to advertise as they are part of the Candy Crush app game. I live in South Africa and we don't have the same facilities as in the US so it's money down the drain. I certainly won't trust any of those other ads on Candy Crush.
