Gym owner invited to sue himself

Advertisement

A legal firm has apologised for a customised web advertisement which asked a fitness instructor if he wanted to sue himself for compensation.

Dave Jones, from Southampton, received the advert while using the Facebook social networking site.

It has prompted warnings about what personal details are put on the web. The legal firm had used his details for a customised advertising campaign for personal injury claims against his company.
