A short while ago I needed to do quite a lot of driving at dawn/dusk/night. I haven't done much of that for a while and I was appalled to find that i was blinded by most cars coming towards me on rural roads. Not just inconvenienced as I remember happening occasionally in the past when someone forgot to dip their main beams, but actually unable to see the side of the road or anything else for seconds at a time. Very unsettling.
I understand this is an issue the authorities are aware of and are considering what to do. Eventually. I sropped driving on rural roads at night - the glare was not so obvious on a duel carriageway.
However, facebook came up with an advert for anti-glare glasses. The website is full of testimonials and explanations about how the glasses work. What it lacks is any detail about the company wanting to part me from my hard earned money. The 'company name' is their website address. Their address is a rent a desk site. So I asked them to confirm their proper name. I got this

I have replaced their 'name' - the website address with XXX
I responded stating they are clearly scammers as they will not identify themselves. I got this:

I won't be buying anything from them, but I wondered if I am being overcautious. They claim to be a company and to have a registered trademark, but will not give me their company name.
