Glad you were able to get a refund @Fudgey

There are lots of adverts being placed on social media platforms, including (false) claims that these devices are backed by various national health organisations including the NHS and DUK - which they certainly are not

Hello . That’s the hook that clinched it for me NHS backed . Lesson learnt the hard way .

I'm glad you're getting your money back. Can I ask where you saw this advertised?
I'd sugget that they should be reported to the ASA (https://www.asa.org.uk/) and/or trading standards (https://www.nationaltradingstandards.uk/).

Hi , the advertisement was on Facebook . Now flooded with these offers but now know they are all fake . PayPal dragging their heels on refund and to blacklist product as Facebook full of complaints if you type Remifa blood glucose monitor.

I ordered a non invasive blood glucose monitor called Remifa from ThicFitt May 25. They charged me £7 approx above advertised price, and it came from a different company. On opening box it contains a ‘Premium’ blood pressure monitor instead!! Scam advert. Avoid.

Somebody else posted they had been caught by that SCAM recently.
In any case these non-invasive monitors are no good so should be avoided so you have dodged a bullet.

I’ve added a sticky to the general messageboard about these scam adverts, so hopefully people can be alerted before they part with their hard-earned money.

These include various ‘non-invasive’ glucose measuring devices, ‘detox bracelets’, ‘glucose watches’ and similar, which do not work and are not fit for purpose

Diabetes UK says:

“Unfortunately, Diabetes UK is aware that there are some misleading adverts circulating on social media where the Diabetes UK name is being falsely used to advertise ‘Fat burning and blood sugar...​
