Offer to purchase including shipping costs

Company: Robby Keller
Address : robbykeller29@yahoo.com, Pretoria, 2, South Africa

On 10/02/2006, Keller (robbykeller29@*****) responded to a post on Craig's List selling an 8ft. jewelry case. They said it was for their son. They further stated that they would send $2000 for payment and for shipping if I would be so kind as to help them out since they were very busy moving. The moneygrams arrived via mail with South African stamps on it but there was $4000 instead. I thought they had underestimated the cost of shipping. I cashed the moneygrams at my bank and wired $3,650 to Regina S. Mamabola, 109 Leys St. Thamboyt, Pretoria, South Africa via Walmart Moneygram. I sent e-mails for the next few days requesting shipping schedule. I've heard nothing since. 10/31/06 my bank called to tell me the moneygrams were counterfeit.

bogus Loto winings

Company: Financial Alliance Services
Address : P.O. Box 227, Gambrills, Maryland 21054, United States

Congratulation !!! we hve made many unseccessful attemts to contact you regarding this winning. YOU are therefore entitled to the sum of $250,000 US dollars, From the DE LOTTO Netherland

This is how the letter starts out it is accompanied with a check for $4700 drawen on the Sandy Spring National Bank of Maryland in Clarksville, MD. you are to call this number: 1-416-858-7715 to a Mr. Terry Lucas.He will instrut you to deposit this money in your account. Then call him back. He will instruct you to take $2700 and send it to some tax firm for the payment of taxes on the winnings. The check for $4700 is to cover the payment of the taxes. You have to send the money by western union or money gram.

I did some research. There is a Sandy Springs National Bank of MD. There are two branches, NON of which are in Clarksville.

There is no listing for Financial Alliance Services in Gambrills MD

On the letter head in red is: International Claim Dept located in Toronto Ont. Canada

why would a lotto in the Netherlands have a claim department in Canada and bank in the USA?

This is a fraud. If you get any such mail report it to your local police Dept or FBI..This is mail fraud and carries up to a million dollars in fines and twenty years in jail.

Bidz.com is a complete No No No

Company: Bidz.com
Address : 1251 Westwood Bl., LA, California United States

I had a very bad experience with bidz.com. I would stay out of this bidz.com. I got a diamond ring for $800.00 which they says worth $5900.00. The quality of the diamond looked terrible.It was not like what they had shown on TV. I was little spectical and hence I took it to a local certified jeweller for a second opinion and they said the quality is so poor that they don't even carry this. I told them how much I paid for this and they advised me to return it. I returned the product and it took Bidz.com 3 weeks after received the product to credit back money after deduct $120.00 for restocking fee.They said that was shipping and handling charges. That is ripped off. DO NOT BELIEVE THEIR 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE! They makes money either way. For me, $120.00 is probably more than what they paid for the ring from China or Brazil. I also tried to contact the customer support and they just tell me that the complain is still pending. The value that they attach to the product is a laugh, DON'T GET TRAPPED How can they then write that we can have a total refund after we return the product. They never deliver what they promise. This is deceptive marketing and unethical. It is a completely false and a total ripoff. I am contacting the BBS and DA. Go back To Ebay - it is better choice!

You are one of six that will split 4.5 million dollars!

Company: oasis financial bureau-L Cox
Address : 392 Spadina road Toronto Ontario, Toronto, Canada

Mr. Linford Cox telephone number 1-647-866-**** sent me a letter saying I was one of six winners in the Austrailian lottery and would be granted a lump sum of 750,000 dollars. Inserted was a check for almost 5,000 dollars that when I called and spoke with him, he told me to take it to my bank and cash it then send him a moneygram for half of it to cover the taxes for it to cross the canadian border. The one thing that got my attention is that it is a real check and the bank is Wells Fargo out of Colorado. The company name that is on the check is Diamond Financial Group which is a part of Metlife. I called all of these companies and none of them could tell me whether or not the money was really in the account just that it was a real account. So doing a little more checking around i found out that if you do put it in the bank it will go through long enough for you to get the money out for the moneygram and then bounce so you have to pay back the 3,000 dollars you sent him and any fees you have for the bounced check. How is this right for all of these multi-million dollar companies to allow this to go on in there names?

African online romance scammers

Company: Masinga Leonard
Address : 17 Teshie Rd. accra, accra, Ghana

I met an black african male on a dating site, We talked many times, he sent many free email cards, he called, I spent hundreds of dollars calling him. He had told me that he was attending college in Missouri and he was back in Africa because his father died. Several weeks later he was saying that he did not want to come back to the states until he had handled his fathers business because his mother didnt know how to handle it and that he needed 600 dollars for the lawyer so that he could take care of business and come on back to school. He went on later after I was the fool to send the money knowing in my mind that something was wrong. He supposedly called me from the lawyers office telling me how successful everything was going. After a period of time, he called and emailed pictures of this gold and property that his father had left, but he need money to insure the gold and bring it back. He needed 7000 dollars. He needed money for medicine and many more things. He has scammed so many american women. I went on to check what I could about this so called man and I found out that these are anti-americans they hate americans. This young mans name is supposedlly Masinga Leonard,aka, Leonard, aka, Roger etc. And he has used so many different sites saying he is from New york, California and other places.

Video Professor is untrue

Company: Video Professor
Address : 12055 West 2nd Place, Lakewood,, CO, 80228, United States

I feel completely cheated by Video Professor, Every thing is not free free, and Video Professor says it a trial period. The following is not true. I wrote to Video Professor. I have been unable to produce an email address for them. It has now been three days. I only wish I had looked on the net prior to purchasing any of his products. I could have saved myself a world of hurt. I hope this letter will add to the validity of your case and hopefully provide your client with some much needed relief. Good luck with the outcome. Mr. John W. Scherer, is CEO of Video Professor. I ordered Video Professor product on-line and even though the generous was on me to read the Terms and conditions, I didn't read. I'm sure that majority of people who order there products on-line, don't read Terms and conditions. I am retired, due to a medical disability, and I live on a fixed income. I received the product, only to find out that you are billing me for almost $80.00. That is a large amount of money out of my monthly Social Security check. After I received there product, there was a very large family problem that I had to devote my time to and I didn't realize that I should have been investigating your product at all, much less within a certain time frame, since I had already paid for it. I just don't think it is a Bad practice,

DS-Max affiliate Programme is completely misleading and false

Company: DS-Max affiliate Programme
Address : 3680 44th St SE Suite 245, Grand Rapids, MI, United States

Customers get thousands of tons mails from DS-Max; I was working for an affiliate of DS-Max for past year. Very much thanks to them I have been savy to all scams and techniques from them. That was several years back but I decided when I learned enough and gained business, marketing experience I would come back and stop them and compaines who operate under similiar business practices. They pay the BBB, The company is a MLM (Multi level Marketing) corporation both illegal in the U.S. and Canada. They make the majority of there money off people not products. They hire employees as independent contrators to further distant themselves from mishaps. They operate hundreds of offices in every major city but again avoid legal action by setting them up as seperate entities. Each office then illegally solicits business's. They never attain proper permits but because of the deceptive paperwork they have you fill out they can deny employment. Only when local authorities are informed of the office address and follow their employees can the office be fined. On paper there is no direct connection. In reality each office and regional manager pays the parent company. Here is one very effective option, Fight fire with fire. Send them junk mail, SPAM, telemarketing calls, etc. They could end up getting thousands of calls, spam, junk mail, etc.

Panasonic was not able to solve my problem

Company: Panasonic Consumer Electronics
Address : One Panasonic Way, Secaucus, New Jersey, 7094, United States

I was having some problem with my Panasonic television. So on September 24TH I wrote an email to the Dealer from whom I have purchased television in order to troubleshoot the geometry issues on my Panasonic TX-R3079 30inch HD television. Next day I got an email response telling me to call 1-800-PANASONIC. I contact them & I was on hold for around an hour. So I call back the next day and finally was able to reach �Customer Support�. I explained them all the problems and they decided to service my television for which I was given a ticket number.I was told that a service centre would contact me within five days.On the fourth day I got a call from the service centre which is over 100 miles from where I live that they are going to pick up my television and take it to their shop.
I contacted Panasonic about this because I was wanting to know if I would receive a loaner television until mine is fixed. They replied back that they should and to let them know if the service center was bringing me one. They called the morning of the pickup and they did not have the loaner. Another call to Panasonic and they knew nothing about me needing a loaner television. They said I could pay for a loaner if I wanted one. So I canceled the pickup and Panasonic said they would find a new service center and contact me. After a day or two I got a new service centre number and I explain them all my problems and they says I am going to receive an exchange and they will contact me in a few days. I wait for a few days as I have not got response from them.So I write email to them asking about the exchange.Most of the emails send me in circles. I call back Tuesday 17th about the exchange and the customer service clerk pulls up my info using my Ticket number and she doesn't know anything about an exchange and she said she would have to contact their ECR because they had authorized an exchange and she didn't know why. I get an email back from them saying that my service will continue from the previous service center.

My patience is running thin with Panasonic and this will be the last time I will ever think of Panasonic for any purpose in my life and everyone else please take note to their absurd customer service.

Moniker Online Services is totally fraud

Company: MONIKER ONLINE SERVICES
Address : 20 SW 27th Ave, Suite 201,Pompano Beach, FL, 33069, United States

I and my husband had ordered 4 cannon digital cameras from this pathetic online .They did not deliver the camera on time. So we called to inquire about the delay, we were told as there was a problem with their shipping department over the holidays and that our order would be send to the first priority. Needless to say that we did not receive the order, on further inquire we were given another excuse that the item was over sold and was out of stock .They said they would ship after receiving the order, I was terribly annoyed so I cancelled the order and told them to credit the money back in my card.
They said it would take time say about 9 to 10 days to complete the process, but even after 14 days my money was not credited, on still inquiring they said a week more and now it�s been 2 weeks no transaction is done.
Now they are not even ready to speak on the phone, keeping on the hold for a long time the phone is disconnected, I think the ball is no more in my court. I have lost my money, stay away from such fraud companies

Jet Airways told me all lies

Company: JET AIRWAYS
Address : 41/42 MAHAR CHAMBERS 3, NARIMAN POINT, Mumbai, India

During my children vacation I decided to take them to India for holidays, as we don�t have any one there and no knowledge about the place we did our entire booking from Singapore .
The entire package which included the air tickets the guide the hotel and the ticket back home was confirmed prior .
We were four of us as my younger son who was just 1year and 5 months we were told that no ticket fare was there for the young one and that my child could board the flight without ticket,so we did not book his ticket.
We reached India safely and enjoyed our stay there,after our vacation was over we reached the airport to go back to Singapore, when we reached at the jet counter for the boarding pass we were stopped and asked for my younger child age proof, I was not carrying any, how could any one give age proof at the airport that also so without any notice.When I denied to have the age proof we were stopped from giving the boarding pass and were told to buy the ticket for my child, I tried explaining them not a single questioned was asked on the Singapore airport and explained them it was a visible fact that my child was not 2 years old .
But nothing materialized even after speaking to the authority there
As the time of the flight was nearing and we did not wanted to miss our flight, without any delay we purchased the ticket ,it was a clean and clear cheating done by us .I can never ever think of traveling in jet airways ever in my life

Damaged products

Company: SAMSUNG
Address : 105 CHALLENGER ROAD, RIDGEFIELD PARK, MA, United States

I purchased a T.V during summers and within few week the sound of the T.V went off, it was a very horrifying moment as we had really taken a great effort to buy this T.V.
Without wasting a minute we took the T.V to the dealer, after examining he said that new speakers have to be replaced, being in the warranty period we didn�t have to worry a free service would be given .The work was readily done and we brought the T.V back home.
But in few weeks again the same problem now the dealer was not ready to give us the free service even though it was in the warranty period ,we tried our levels best to persuade him but things didn�t work and we had to pay 50 to 60$ to change the speaker.
Now its been 1 year and I have changed the speaker thrice, I even demanded for the exchange of the T.V but no satisfactory answer was given, now I have been waiting for a another change of speakers let see how and when.
I will never do business with this company ever in my life again.

Philips was not returning my product and was waiting for gurantee period to get over.

Company: PHILLIPS
Address : P.O.BOX 14810, DR KNOXVILLE, TN, 37914, United States

I purchased a toaster of Phillips Company last month. As my days are always busy, to make breakfast in the morning turns too difficult to me so I purchased a toaster to make things much easy.
But the day I purchased the toaster I felt I made my life more difficult,
This Phillips toaster just makes my bread crisp from one side and the other side is just left undone on taking to the Phillips dealer he said that he would repair and do the needful, he repaired the toaster but again the same problem were I wanted to make my breakfast in a minute it was taking a lot of time because I had to stand there and keep changing the bread to toast it on both the sides if I left the bread in the toaster it just got burnt from one side.
Now it was to much I told the owner nothing doing you have to replace the toaster, but he convinced me that he would repair it up to the mark, again the same story when I brought the toaster home I was wondering whether he was repairing or just giving me back without any repairing because the toaster was just the same without any progress.
Now things were clear that he was just fooling me for completing the warranty period which got over in 3 months and I was fooled by the dealer as I did not realized the warranty period getting over.
THIS IS PHILLIPS!

Skin RX Clinic makes fool out of us

Company: Skin RX Clinic
Address : 5500 Military Trail, Suite 22,Jupiter, FL, 33458, United States

Don't become a member of Skin RX" They make it sound like you are getting a great deal by saying if you join their club you will get their product worth $100 amount retail value and you can get it for only $50 amount which is a savings of nearly 50 amount percentage. The "savings" part is a lie!! If you want to compare prices to see if you really are getting a good deal you can't. I placed an order and my credit card was charged for the full amount. They did not send me any information whatsoever regarding the status of the order First of all they don't tell you what size you are receiving in your "introductory kit" If you look at their online catalog you will not find any size that is .08 oz - they are .3 oz - a huge difference!!! So how can they say you are saving a percentage if there is nothing to compare it to?? Second, you will be billed continually each month unless you cancel or reschedule your shipments further apart - most of us don't have a monthly bill for makeup I don't think it is right to charge people more in the store than you would for the 'store' online or to tell customers not to go to other stores to investigate the difference in prices- (I SPECIFICALLY asked if the kit and additional merchandise was cheaper online or in another store and was told that it wasn't).I emailed customer service to complaint about the uselessness of being a club member and how I was being ripped off. They replied by not reading my email at all. I think their advertising is very misleading. Let's all say Idiot!!!

Took to the Cleaners and Then Some!

Company: Shortys Saddles and Tack
Address : 853 Hwy 140, Armuchee, GA 30105, United States

Bought a Ortho Flex Saddle, not happy with it, within 10 days mailed Fed Ex back to the Seller, it cost over $1,200. He was selling the Ortho Flex Brand of saddles and the policy with Ortho Flex was that they guaranteed their saddles for 30 days or money back policy. Well, when I sent the saddle back, he said he sold it for $200 and then sued me for the balance, he did not even tell the judge that the extra supplies for the saddle, like girth and such were sent back unopened and still in plastic. We went to small claims court and I had even e-mails from Ortho Flex about their warrantee, but he hired an Atty, and I got the fee to pay back to him $700! The Judge even told me that I had an excellent case and for me to hire an Atty, like Shorty did and go to the next step, Circuit Court, that he thought I would definitely win, but I did not have the extra $500 for an Atty's deposit to go to court with me. I am disabled and did not have the money. He got the saddle and NEVER has a saddle in his shop for sale, not even a USED and wore out saddle for $200, and did not have the receipt to whom or where the saddle was supposedly sold to and how much, said he did not make a receipt, sold it for cash. So that means he did not report it to the IRS, either, like many of his other sales of saddles. Have his address, but must look it up. He is a crook from the word GO! Now, he slanders me behind my back, and talks to people who have never met me, and tries to get them all to think I am a terrible bad person!, just because I am having to make payments on a saddle that he sold to who knows for how much, who knows, that was returned within 10 days to him, in excellent shape. But he tells everyone else that I owe him for that saddle and that I am not any good and having to pay in payments for a saddle, but never tells anyone the WHOLE story!
I even had 4 witnesses and one witness was a US Commander in the Navy, she even saw the saddle and the Fed Ex receipts and knew the condition of the saddle that was returned. This is terribly wrong, to have to pay him for a saddle that was returned, this is the type of businessman he is, STAY AWAY FROM HIS SADDLES, HE DOES NOT STAND BEHIND ANYTHING HE SELLS AT ALL, NO MATTER WHAT THE MANUFACTURER SAYS IS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE, HE DENIES IT ALL, TO BENEFIT HIMSELF.
Thanks,

Starluck Casino Scam of 75,000$ won and you have to pay 5,000$ to gov.taxes yourself

Company: starluck casino
Address : India, canada, ontario, Canada

I just got scammed by two individuals that I beleive are from some other country arabian or egiption something of that relation, that claim to be of u.s. decent(Linda Bishop & Frank Taylor). They sent me a letter confirming that I had won 75,400.00 USD. In the letter there was a check in the amount of 4,950.00 USD, that I was to immediately put in my bank account, to pay federal and gov. taxes with. So that would leave me with 70,000.00 USD. I called the agent that was supposed to help me with my winnings and they acted completely illiterate and stupid. They froze and got nervous when I asked them where their company was located, and if I could talk to a supervisor. They hung up on me and when they got worked up and scared they told me to call back in an hour or 5 min. Then I called back a second time, and the phone seemed to be disconnected. I did put the 4,950.00 USD in my bank, and was able to get 500$ out so far. I am going to keep trying to get out money before they cancel the check(if they do). It takes about a week to process this money, but I figure I should scam them back. The reason they send you a real check for 4,950.00 USD, is because they dont think anyone will actually cash it! Your supposed to put it in your bank then when it clears, you send it back to them, and they charge you an extra 4,950.00 USD ! Talk about a scam. Their number is 204-951-1435. I found out it is a canada number, but that doesnt meen they are in canada. I hope this helps people that think they actually won money, but really its a scam artist trying to get into your bank account. Please be careful.

Davison had agreed to submit my invention to several companies of interest. They have submitted to three companies, one company twice, after being told by these companies they were not interested and would have to re-tool in order build this invention.

Davison totally ignored the wishes of the companies and submiited there design for consideration.

Davison now expects me to pay for more design packaging in order to send to other companies.

Davison has had my design for over two years and have not been able to find a company interested. They say they have thousands of comanies in there files, yet they have not had one company come by their headquarters to take a look.

Davison wants your money, but does very little work to obtain it.

Pogo.Com allows scams to persist on its website

Company: Pogo.com
Address : 209 Redwood Shores Parkway, Redwood City, CA 94065, United States
URL: http://www.ea.com/

A scam is going on within the game rooms of Pogo.com. Pogo's staff are completely aware of it, yet are obviously doing NOTHING to stop it. Pogo.com is part of the EA Games Corporation, a company making billions off of the sale memberships to its various game sites as well as their downloadable games. One would think that a company with its reputation would want to provide excellent service AND security to its members. But I found out that this is NOT the case.

Pogo offers paying members, a chance to earn tokens and spend them on raffles to win cash prizes. People are conning members into revealing their passwords, gaining access to their accounts and stealing their tokens. These people are apparently using these stolen tokens to purchase HUGE percentages of the raffle tickets; thereby increasing their chances to win.

I was not forewarned of this scam and I became a victim of it. I inadvertently and naively revealed my password through a con being conducted on the chat board of a game room. And even worse, after these people gained access to my account, they were able to contact people I had listed on my pogo "Friend's List" and actually HIJACK their account while chatting with them (pretending to be me) in a private chat room provide by pogo. I know of at least 5 other pogo members who also lost access to their accounts and also lost all the tokens they had acquired as well

Pogo's policy is to place blame on the victims. Their In Game Dept. keeps track of what happens in game rooms as well as token counts. Yet Pogo's policy is to NOT reimburse the victimized Pogo member their stolen tokens even though it is clear to them the member's account had been hijacked. AND, since this has been going on for a VERY LONG TIME, Pogo's policy undoubtedly includes NOT going after the people that are engaging in this scam. These people MUST be winning enough money, through winning raffles, to justify continuing to engage in this scam.

Add insult to injury, when a PAYING pogo member loses access to their account through these scams, it is a NIGHTMARE to gain access ANYONE in pogo to correct the situation. They cannot do this through the pogo web site, because one must be signed onto their account to do so.

Pogo's on line customer service provides MINIMAL, let alone prompt support to members that have had their accounts hijack. The only way to get prompt action is by phoning the company. AND pogo web site is PURPOSELY designed to make finding a phone number to contact anyone VERY difficult. I am VERY upset with how this security issue I had with Pogo was handled, I am concerned that these people may actually have the ability to hack into my own computer while I am playing on Pogo, and am DEFINITELY concerned that others be forewarned before they consider becoming a member of pogo themselves.

I checked my mail today, and i got a letter addressed to myself. I opened it and there was a check for 3,450.75! i freaked out, and the letter that was enclosed with it, stated that i won the lottery for two million dollars. In the letter it said for me to deposit the check into my checking out, (that i just created when i got home, online, and theres no money in it) and then call the company back. The check enclosed was for the Taxes that they would take out, and the two million would be deposited in my checking account in 48 hours. i was sooo excited i called my husband at work and everything.

we're so broke right now, so this happening was amazing! i then researched online, about scammers, and I didn't find anything in perticalur to this place, which is call ATLANTIC FINANCIAL INVESTMENT CORPORATION. I dont know if this is real, but it doesn't seem that way. I dont understand how they would get anything in return. they didnt ask for any money or anything. This is causing emotional distress on myself. The money would be so BENEFICAL right now, and it doesn't seem like its true. :( what should i do now? should i follow through with it or what?

Hyundai have me a damaged car and also were very insulting

Company: HYUNDAI
Address : 1ST FLOOR CHISWICK PL, 272 GUNNERSBURG AVE, CHISWICK, LONDON United States

It was a dream come true when we purchased a new Hyundai car.
We were always in need of a car but our pockets could not afford it.
But now on purchasing it our happiness had no frame.
We all drove the car every where we went, now thinking without a car was very difficult.
On a holiday we all planned for a picnic near the river side, it was great to be together as all my relatives and friends were going to join us I was happy to show my car. They all liked my car and appreciated.
Soon it was evening and it was time to go home, but to my major surprise my car did not start and with a fear in my eyes I got down to check, I found that there was a leakage in the car battery. All my friends were surprised that how could there be a leakage in a new car which is purchased just a month ago. We decided to go to the company, so leaving the car, some of us went to the dealer. He send a towing car with us, the car was brought back after looking he said that the battery has to be changed and would take a day. So leaving the car we went to our home, the next day on visiting he gave me two bills one which had towing charges and other of the battery .I was shocked at the battery rates and refused to pay as it was in warranty period, I tried to explain him that it was fair enough with the towing charges but not the charge for the battery, he refused to even listen to me and said that nothing doing if you don�t pay you cant take the car .It was so insulting that I just moved out without any discussion it was a bad day. Next day I paid him the money and got my car back, I cannot forget such a bad behaviour.

Telebrands is a gimmick

Company: Telebrands
Address : Order - Dept. NET905, 7 Telebrands Plaza,, Fairfield, NJ United States

I regularly watch telebrands items on television, as they show amazing items like the blender, height increaser ,steam room and many more, I always wanted to buy these but as they were expensive and even a doubt that whether these items were of good quality and whether they really did the same work shown on the T.V.
One day I saw the advertisement of tele brands sauna belt which advertised that it reduces on the targeted area, I was very much interested to buy,
as I am over weight and I was desperate to reduce, I was ready to take a chance but when the rate was announced at the end of the advertisement I was very disappointed as I could not buy because of the heavy rates .
As I was very much interested in this product I always was alert for some offer, after 2 months there was a offer that the rate was reduced 30%and they were offering free height increaser and a fairness cream. There was also a money back gauranty within 15 days if the customer was not satisfied this was a fair deal so without waiting I ordered for the sauna belt,within a day the sauna belt was delivered I tried on my stomach and after 45 minutes as the timing was over I removed the belt no sweating, not a cm reduction was there, as it claims that within a hour it reduces more than a inch but in my case it did not happen I called them that I did not get any results ,they said results vary from person to person, for me may be it takes time, but even after 7 days no result I made up my mind to return the product and get my money back .
They registered my complain and gave me the address to come and return the sauna belt, on the next day I returned he product to the company but they did not pay the money back, they said it will take 2-3 days to return the amount.
Even after a week no answer every day they just prolonged saying one day more and this procedure went on for 20 days when finally I got the answer as it was more than 15 days we cannot entertain you for this and that I was late. I opposed that I registered it just within seven days and I want my money back, but the company ignored me and I was left empty hand not the money nor the belt in hand .This was a fooling business and the gimmick used to attract people.

Cadbury cheated by selling empty boxes

Company: CADBURY LTD
Address : Cadbury Trebor Bassett, PO Box 12,, Birmingham, United Kingdom

Cadbury has been known since 1900 and has been all time favorite. It is a name which creates a smile on each and every individual. Any occasion or festival is always accompanied by Cadbury.
As Christmas was nearing I decided to gift all my friends and relatives a Cadbury hamper. I went to a near by shop and ordered for 10 Cadbury hampers and told him to pack it in the gift paper,he said as it would take time so I started moving around in the mall to check out the beautiful decoration done for Christmas . As an hour was over I reached the shop to carry my packets, it was all done.
I told my family that I had bought Cadbury hampers to gift my friend; my small brother who could not resist on hearing about the chocolates just tore one of the packets. When the pack was opened I saw that some of the chocolates were missing from the mould and some were chapped, I tried checking all around whether the missing ones were fallen down, but no .I was scared that if the other packets were the same then----.
Without wasting a minute I reached the shop and showed him the packet he explained me saying that missing of the chocolates would not be my responsibility as the packets were sealed, he was right it was the company. I requested him to take all the hampers back because I was scared if all were the same, but he did not agree .I thought this matter should not be let go so I visited the company showing them the hamper, they denied that our packs are checked twice, the chapping of chocolates must have been in the shop.
The shopkeeper blamed the company for missing of the chocolates and the company blamed the shopkeeper for the chapped chocolates, but were should I go for such a problem no solution for me, the company which I trusted had let me down, so I decided not to gift the hampers to any of my friends as I was scared if any of these packet had the same problem
As I was using the hamper for myself I found that two hampers were having the same problem, I took the right decision of not distributing among my friends.

Faulty Car

Company: AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR Co.
Address : NETWORK SOLUTIONS, P.O BOX 447, HERNDON, VA United States

My husband is very fond of cars so he always changes the car every year. Recently after selling the old one he decided to buy a Honda Civic .He just loved this car and said I don�t thinking I will ever sell this one as it is a very comfortable car.
Usually he avoids taking the car to office but with Honda Civic things were different he didn�t wanted to miss a day driving, so he traveled every day in his new Honda
But one fine evening while coming home he started the car but the car lay dead, trying many times the car did not respond to the starter, so my husband contacted the company and within no time they were there it was really good service, as the car was in warranty period they said as the battery of the car was having problem they would replace it the car was towed and taken by them.
Next evening I received the car. But to my fear after two weeks the car was again dead the same problem. Now things were different bad thoughts arose whether I have made a wrong choice and the money I spend on purchasing the car was all wasted and that I was in complete loss.
Without wasting a minute more I called the company, they again said the problem is with the battery, how can that be, I had just replaced my car battery.
I went to the company asking for an explaination, they cooled me saying that nothing to worry as the car is in warranty period we will do the needful, I told them replacing the battery would not do, the company has to give me a brand new car ,this was really a difficult demand for them, but they cooled me saying to leave the car and wait for their decision completely tensed. I left the car in the company and went home, the other day on calling them they said to wait for a day more. On next day when I did not receive the call I went to the company but to my great surprise two more customers were waiting with the same problem, this left no doubts that my decision was completly wrong.
On asking them what was decided they said that replacing the car was not easy and it can not be done. So I just sold of the car to be on save side. It was a wrong decision, now I fear purchasing a car.

Rubbish customer support

Company: Sun Rocket Phone
Address : 41-51 East 11th St,, NY, 10003, United States

Waste of money||||||||| Dumb services from Sun rocket system?? A dead phone As an Engineer and I never heard so much excuses at one time from your representatives None of you have any access to any testing Apparatus! No Line Frequency checks, no bounce backs, no packet return system (My niece is 5 and knows how tip "ping") I have already lost more then $30,000 in sales? My phone is out of order for 7 or more, days. That's horrible, dumb pitch: if your phone was out 7 days every 2 months? And then U want to ship the modem "regular 10 day Ground shipment" Very, very Irritated Service as ever seen in my life time. In the end, I have people calling me and no phone service at all/probably a $60.00 CELL phone charge for the SR costs svc calls tonight and no estimation on when I might get an email (since I was told it was impossible to transfer me directly to the technical department) to even begin to tell me how to fix the issue. But they didn't have any trouble taking my money and charging me whether they can provide the svc or not. Never was I told I'd be reimbursed for time without working svc. Never did I get anyone who seemed at all interested in doing anything other than taking a note, creating a ticket and telling me they couldn't do anything and ultimately didn't know anything. I would not recommend SunRocket to my worst enemy, low cost and poor features.
