No group buying deals for you!

I went to the dentist last week and saw this sign:

No groupbuy deals for you!

It reads:

通知
拜尔齿科自2012年起,从未通过任何平台
发布过口腔服务的团购信息。
请消费者互相转告!如通过购买团购到店,
拜尔齿科无法提供相关服务。

Translation:

NOTICE
Since 2012, Byer Dental has not, on any platform,
published any group buying deals for dental work.
Please pass the word on! If you’re here through a group buying deal,
Byer Dental cannot provide those services.

Makes me wonder what happened. Fraudulent group buying (团购) deals online (created by the competition?), sending hordes of cheapskates in need of greater dental hygiene to Byer’s door? Or perhaps just a 2011 full of ill-advised group buying engagements in Byer’s past?

Is there no end to the evils brought on by all this wanton Groupon clonery?
