Also received similar SCAM letter/check

Company: Starluck Casino Joe Adams and Michael Peri
Address : PO Box 9000, St. Johns, US Virgin Island 804, United States
URL: starluckcasino.com

Upon receiving a similarly situated letter/check (although the amounts differ, the claim number does not, nor do the addresses), I immediately was suspcious. I suppose that like the OP, I am just not lucky enough to actually have something like this happen to me. Here's what I've found so far (opened letter less than 12 hours ago):

Letter of notification:

Trusted Brands Alliance Financial Services
P.O. BOX 9000 St Johns, U.S. Virgin Island 00804
Sponsors: Publishers Clearing House, Readers Digest, and Online Games

Check Amount enclosed: $3,950.00 USD
Total Prize amount: $65.400.00USD

Same verbage on scam, same general idea, although omitted was the Casino reference.


Letter signed by: Paul Smith (signature is not even close to, or could be mistaken for the aforementioned).

I have already contacted the local FBI office, and an awaiting a call back. I am very tempted to go to my bank, open a separate account, deposit this check, and let the whole process run its course. Depending on whether the FBI or my bank take me seriously, I may go to the media with this. I am gonna bury these bastards. If they got me all excited that I may have won (but like I said, I'm never that lucky) some money, then I feel justified in hunting them down. It's across state lines, and it involves more than $500...it's FBI territory, it's check fraud, and it's wrong.

Is There Nothing that We Can Do About this Scam?

Company: Easton Group Grant Consultant
Address : Not for sure, New York, New York United States

I recieved a postcard in the mail that stated i was qualified for a grant. After i called everything sounded really nice besides the fact that they were going to take 349.00 out of my account. Since i am a full time college student and a full time factory worker i fell for it. I really could have used the extra cash for several things. A while later i recieved a booklet in the mail that i had to feel out and mail back in. After i mailed the book back in i never got contacted. I on many attempts tried to contact them. Finally one day i got through. I told the lady that i just wanted my money back because it was taking too long and i hadnt heard anything from anyone. She insisted that i should be contacted in the middle of Feburary with a grant offer, and then my check would be deposited in my bank account. I still havent heard anything and not only that but the number that i use to call always gives me a busy signal. I think that these people should be severely punished. There are many hard working people out there just like me who earns everything we get and seem to never get a break. When we do think that we are finally getting one it always turns out to be some sort of disaster. I am willing to fight and do whatever it takes to make sure that these people get caught and we get brought to justice. If anyone out here wants to see if we can get together a support group and try to push forward with this on more legal terms just contact me in some way!

Scams of A-1 Leasing and Startup Essentials

Company: A-1 Leasing
Address : 2007 Eastern Ave. S.E., Grand Rapids, Michigan 49507, United States
URL: none

I have entered into a 4-year non-cancellable lease with A-1 Leasing, who tolled me , that it was my "once in the life time opportunity" to change my life and become independantin my finance life. Being 6 months pregnant at the time had pushed me toward signing that lease.I really needed to work from home after delivering the baby.
But my intence studing, loading the product images to the website and spending mo then $500 on advertisement didn't give any results at all. I haven't sold a single item, due to the huge competition. I understand now that only people who were the first ones to start their busnesses on Internet are or were making money. Now it is practically impossible.
So, these companies(A-1 Leasing and Startup Essentials) look for people with no experience on Internet to trick them to sign there 4-year "non-cancellable " lease, and send them the laptops, that eventially stop workingand you have to send them to get fixed(Personally I didn't need a laptop,Ihave my personal computer, but they still send you one to have more compromise on you, when you want to cancell the lease).

Since you paid through paypal, you likely have a way to get a refund through them. If you paid by credit card, you have even another line of defense. They have entire departments dedicated to solving the problems you are experiencing. I had a similar problem with a Milwaukee based company and my credit card company figured it all out for me. I'd suggest you investigate through your credit card first and then go through paypal. They are there to help make shopping easy and safe... so good luck!

Clarification on your bad experience

Company: Metlife
Address : 4211 Boy Scout Blvd. (suite 700), Tampa, Fl. 34639, United States

I'm sorry to hear of your poor experience with your IRA. From what you said, it sounds like you were invested in some form of an annuity (variable or fixed). What you encountered wasn't a scam by MetLife, but in fact the normal surrender fees that are part of all annuity contracts. If you made more than one deposit into your account, each of your deposits had to go though a waiting period ( I think you said 7 years on yours) before it was completely free of surrender penalty.

Your agent made a mistake (intentionally or not) when quoting you that your IRA was free of surrender. When you made additional deposits into your account, he is supposed to let you know if your new money has a surrender fee or not, so you can determine if it makes sense to put more money there. I would suggest that any claims you have should be made against him directly. Advisors have insurance for this sort of thing, so you should be able to get back anything that you were charged. If you work with the other agent that was assigned to you, MetLife may even reverse the charge for you, since you said that your agent made false claims about the surrender charges. Good luck!

Southview Loan Services - RUN AWAY! THEY ARE A LOAN SCAM!

Company: Southview Loan Services
Address : 6505 Belcrest Rd, Hyattsville, Maryland United States

I applied online with them and was told that I was approved for a $5000 loan. Since my credit isn't the best, they said I would have to send in $900 as "collateral". That should have been my first red flag, but I honestly believed that they wanted to help me.

A guy named David called after I sent the money, and said that the lender had audited my file and they were requesting an additional $900. Like a stupid, I sent in the additional money. THEN he called and said the lender had "backed out of the loan, but had given no reason"!

He told me I would have to wait for a refund until the lender's pay out date which is suppose to be March 8. This David who is their customer service manager (yeah right) is a complete jerk who will hang up on you if he doesn't want to answer your questions. I am now out $1800, and I am really behind on my bills now. I am obviously way to trusting of people, believing that they would really do what they said.

If I can help even one person avoid this lying, scaming company, it will be worth it.

HUGE shipping costs for coffee

Company: SeattleCoffeeDirect
Address : 990 Grove St Ste 204, Evanston, IL 60201, United States
URL: https://www.seattlecoffeedirect.com/indexS2scd.php

We mistakenly signed up for SeattleDirectCoffee. Our first shipment was to come with a free coffee grinder. Since we'd had good luck w/ Gevalia, we decided to trust SeattleDirect. Big mistake. Our original order came as ordered, but the charge on our credit card was far beyond the expected price, as the shipping and handling fee was $20, more than enough to pay for shippping, handling, and the cost of the grinder.
We immediately called and cancelled. A few days later we received another package of coffee...only this time we were charged $34 for one pack of coffee....huge shipping and handling charges again.
Again we called to cancel...that was about 2 weeks ago. Today we received another shipment of coffee and are dreading yet another huge charge being added to our card.
Do NOT sign up w/ this company.

Buying a Panasonic product is a decision I deeply regret.

Company: Panasonic
Address : One Panasonic Way, Secaucus, NJ 7094, United States

On September my new digital camera, a Panasonic arrived. Six weeks later I had to hand it in to Digital, the company that repairs Panasonic Products. The lens unit broke. A complaint that is apparently quite common for this type of camera. I have found several other people who wrote about the same complaints and they ran out of this particular spare part, so it had to be ordered from Japan. And I am still waiting. The camera has now been in repair for much longer than I have owned it. I will not be able to make any pictures over X-mass because the camera will not be repaired by that date. And since Panasonic and Digital kept telling me the camera would be ready by next week for about two months, I did not buy another one. Buying a Panasonic product is a decision I deeply regret.

ANYTHING Maytag is very disappointing.

Company: Maytag Corporation
Address : 403 West Fourth Street North, P.O. Box 39, Newton, Iowa 50208, United States

I purchased an entire house full of new appliances from our local Maytag Direct. By full house I mean, waterheater, washing machine, dryer, deepfreeze, refrigerator, sink disposal, dishwasher, and stove.
Out of the 8 products we bought we have now had problems with 6. They had to do repairs on the dryer before we moved in, in December 2005, because upon installation it won't work. They had to repair the seal on the deep freeze, also upon installation and before we moved into the new house. The sink disposal (not grinding) and oven hood had problems in April of 2006. They did the first repair of our refrigerator in May 2006 after we had a full refrigerator of food spoil because it lost its Freon, and finally had to replace the refrigerator in July 2006, when it lost Freon again. We were home and able to save the food this time. We also had the water heater igniter go out, in August 2006. Now in 2006, the igniter has gone out on our stove and even after a HUGE purchase of appliances, and repair of 6 of the 8 of them. Their response to crappy product was that we didn't purchase the "extended warrantee" they were trying to foist on us, so too bad. When trying to speak with their customer service I was told, supervisors don't talk to people and neither does anyone else. Buyer of ANYTHING Maytag is very disappointing. I was of the opinion that Maytag appliance were meant to last decades, only to find that two years is just too much to expect.

Company: Sears
Address : 3333 Beverly Road, Hoffman Estates, IL 60192, United States

I don't believe that people have nothing better to do than down talk companies. Everyone has bad experiences and bad days but to go out on a limb and say 'don't buy from here' or 'don't buy this or that' is just absurd. Come on now people I purchased a rather expensive refrigerator from Sears (The Great Indoors) two years ago. At the beginning of December 06, it stopped working. I purchase a refrigerator from Sears Hardware around 4 weeks ago. I was told I would receive free delivery. As the sale closed I found out the free delivery was really a rebate form that I had to submit and then get reimbursable check. Even though rebates can be a pain, I thought it was ok since the salesman simply said I needed to send in a copy of the receipt and the filled out rebate form. I followed the instructions on the rebate form which state the required information needed for rebate is: "Rebate form and rebate receipt." That is what I submitted. To my dismay, I just received a letter from Sears explaining that I didn't send in the required information to receive my rebate, which is untrue. And to make matters worse, they kept the information that I sent to them making it impossible to re-evaluate what I had submitted. So, I tried to call the number they supplied for questions, and no one ever picks up the phone. I have called several times during their business hours as stated on the rebate form and I don't even get a voicemail or operator. The letter then states that if I don't send in the required information in 14 days my request will be invalid. Even though it was for only $85.00, I expect the company to follow through with what they say and not look for every little loop whole to make it impossible for me to receive a reimbursement for product purchased. Sears will never be able to compete with Wal-Mart, and Home Depot because these companies have learned the valuable lesson of treating their customers with respect and great customer service, i.e., no hassle return policy. Companies that cling to antiquated notions of fighting for every last dollar with a customer are losing the battle. Customer loyalty is priceless! I am extremely disappointed in Sears! I have purchased many things from them in the last year and I will no longer shop there because I feel they ripped me off hey everyone, lets boycott "this and that" because sears or whoever wouldn't break policy for me, and lets watch all the companies that have been around for decades that we know and trust disappear because we are all selfish.

The customer service has been dismal.

Company: Home Depot
Address : 2455 Paces Ferry Road Southeast, Atlanta, GA 30339, United States

I want to express my dissatisfaction with the Home Depot Rebate Program. I went to the paint area to purchase paint. There were two sales assistants working the area. The one assisting me was mute and unable to communicate beyond a few grunts and had difficulty understanding my entire request. When I asked the other assistant for help he responded that he was "busy cleaning up and could not assist", I then asked could he not simply answer my question wherein he responded, while "cleaning" in the exact same area that I was in, that "he could not be in two places at once". I then asked to speak with a manager and was told that I needed to go to Customer Service. At Customer Service Assistant Manager "Wendy" was paged. After waiting several minutes a person who looked like she might be employed by Home Depot passed by me. After several more minutes this person passed by me again and went to the Customer Service desk and spoke with the person who paged her. She then approached me, and without identifying herself, asked if I needed help. I responded by asking her had she not noticed me standing there when she first passed by. She stated that she had but she wanted to address the person who "said what they said to me before they left and did I still need help?" I told her yes that was why I was at Customer Service and that I would have expected her to acknowledge my presence before speaking to the attendant. She told me that she was now ready to help me. As we turned to walk toward the paint center she abruptly stopped and said "Wait I forgot something" and walked away to assist another customer waiting in Customer Service. At this point I went back to the initial person in Customer Service and stated that I wanted to see a Manager and not an Assistant Manager and was told that Wendy was the only Manager on duty. After another five minutes Wendy came back all smiles and said "I am ready to help you now". This is my third time at this particular Home Depot and each time the customer service has been dismal.

I want to complain about Cakes N Things that is located in Chenoa, IL. This is the worst company I have come across. I had placed an order here for kids candies and a cake for my son. It was his 8th birthday. He was real excited. They took all my information and also my credit card information. After that the next day I received a confirmation email form them regarding my order. I had made all the preparations for the party.

After 3 days I got a call from these people saying that my order was cancelled when I asked why they said that they did not have to give me any reason for it. I was shocked for a moment. How can they do something like this? This without a doubt is the worst scam I have come across. Here you lose your money and you know you are not getting it back and your order has been cancelled and they are not ready to tell you why. I mean this absolute crazy. I was talking to one of my family friends and she too told me that she had the exact same problem with them so all you future customers beware.

Company: USA CREDIT

This company has attempted to take 149.00 out of my checking account two times called the 1-800 numbers and was told all of my personal information that I did not give out in the first place. I don't know how they managed to do so? They told me to file a police report if I dispute the charges. Then they said if I was lying, charges would be brought up against me? I guess everybody who has filed their complaint in scam club is lying then. I was given a cancellation number and to make sure the representative repeated it three times to me. Being that they taped the conversation they have the phone recording on file. I called back to get an e-mail confirming the cancellation and I was told they don't do that. So do you mean I have to go by the number they gave me over the phone? What kind of business is this? I was very upset. I spoke to someone totally new the second time I called and do you know they gave me a second cancellation number! How do you get two numbers for one cancellation? Something is seriously wrong her. All I know is that, I want my money back and my overdraft fees taking care of as well. If this complaint was not valid, then everyone else on this website is liars. Where am I caught please can any one help me? I am left only with various questions which are not answered.

So last summer I decided to take my family for a vacation to the exact location let them enjoy and refresh old memories. I called them up and made reservations there.

A day before we could leave when we had almost finished packing I received a call from them and I was informed that they were very sorry that they had rented the cabin we booked to someone else earlier. They told us that we would not be able to stay in it. I got angry and told her that I made the payment and had already received the confirmation for it. she told me that the other party already moved in and would be there for quite some time and that she could do nothing about it.

So all you prospective customers listen up if you want to enjoy your holiday and not have everything end before it even started then please do not make reservations here.

My daughter had sever pain in her tooth which had aroused suddenly, so I called up for the appointment but it seems that I would take a week for the appointment, but what about the pain? I was given some pain killers on the phone as i had no such medicine at home I had to run to the doctor to write prescription so that the chemist provides me with the medicine. For which I was charged. Any ways the appoint day arrived and according to the timings I reached on time but was asked to wait and that waiting was for 30 minutes. Insipte of the appointment I had to wait. They're just too expensive dentists. They maxed out my daughters' insurance allowance in the year of $2000.00, and then on top of that I have to pay well over $1500. However, the jobs were not done well, my daughters got infected and came back several times, whenever I take them in, they charge for another set of money, so far, I have spent almost $4000 for them without anything done on my daughters. So, think twice before you want to go this office, unless you don't know what to do with your money, then you can go here to waste your money here. What a money headed doctor.

URL: www.bestbuy.com

I went to www.bestbuy.com and clicked on the link to fill out an application for a Reward Zone Master card and read all the little fine print links they had. There was all the normal jabber about interest rates, billing cycles, over the limit charges, late fees, etc and where it says Annual Fee it clearly says none in bold letters. Not maybe or perhaps or it depends. It says none. My card arrives just in time for Christmas shopping, so I went to best buy and rack up a few charges and a tank of gas. When my first bill arrives, it has a charge of $59 for Annual Fee. I called and emailed customer care, and all they can do is give me the run around, and lots of apologies, but they insist the website warned me there is an annual fee for the card! I ask for a supervisor, she tells me to email her a link to this imaginary web site so she can see what I'm talking about, I told her to go to www.bestbuy.com and just click on the link, and she told me that she has no access to the internet so I asked her How can you check your email to see the link, if you have no internet? Again, more run around, and constant apologies, and a firm resounding the annual fee is non-refundable, you should have read your disclaimer when you filled out the application. Oh what a pathetic company its nothing but a headache.

About 10 years ago when I was an AOL user a friend told me about bps software and a program that they make called power tools. Before ordering and paying for the software I called them and asked them about upgrades. They said they were free. I asked if I upgrade my AOL software would I need to pay again for the software. They said no. sounded quite convincing. When AOL upgraded there software I tried to upgrade power tool and couldn't. I called them and was told that the new version of power tools was not considered an upgrade but new software and I would have to pay for it again. The guy I was talking to smugly said that he had the code for my upgrade and I would never see it. I have never bought anything from this company again. The reason I am putting this up now is I drive by a building with the bps logo on it yesterday and thought about this. I would never trust this company again. I think we all should get together and take a class action against them.

Warning: Never go for them

Company: Ers Marketing
Address : 433 Franklin St, Buffalo, NY 14202, United States

I am warning you against this company who manipulates to earn more through wrong means. Let me tell you exactly why I say so? I paid House bank off to Midland collection agency in 2004. I settled this account with them. I thought I was finished with them. I got a letter in the mail box saying that I now owe ers for the same account I paid off in 2004. I called Midland and ask them about this account and they told me that it was paid off already. I got a copy of my credit report; it has that it was paid on 1 of my credit report. The other credit report shows that I still owe this. I called them to ask them about this account they said they sold it to a collection agency called midland. Midlands now said that the account was paid in full with a settlement which was not reported on my experience credit report. I was trying to buy a car and this is showing that I owe a debt that is not owed to anyone on this. I again warn you that never go for them.

Don't trust these guys.

Company: The Kirby Company
Address : 1920 West 114th Street, Cleveland, OH 44102, United States

I have no hassles with the working of the product but trust me the manipulation used with the customers to purchase it is awful in other words Kirby is an outstanding vacuum cleaner, but the sales tactics used are deplorable. We agreed to one of those free carpet cleanings and had a salesman come to the house. After the impressive demonstration we agreed to purchase a G6. After finding out that out credit was not quite good enough for the G6 the salesman said he could offer us a factory reconditioned model from the previous year at a savings of $500 compared to the G6. We agreed on the stipulation that it be 2 things, clean and warranted. I was shocked when what arrived was a vacuum that looked like it came right from someone else's house. It was filthy, dirty and was not clean already the stocker was having the waste matter. Since I did not have the state of mind to verify such things, he put it in under the original contract with the G6 crossed out but for the same price. Kirby's are warranted by name, so you don't need it in writing, but come on people. I paid the same price as new for 2 year old used vacuum that I had to scrub clean myself before the wife even saw it. Yeah they suck pretty well, but not as much as the salesmen. Buyers beware. Don't trust these guys.

ordered a $1.97 CD and about a month later I was mysteriously charged $39.95 from pmkeywordsuccess.com and $49.95 from pmfastauction.com. I would guess that I was automatically entered in their website as a member with a reoccurring charge, although I did not request that. Ironically it happened with another site that was very helpful and refunded my money and cancelled the membership. Not so with info@maltuzi.com. These folks do not provide contact information on both of their websites, and the provided phone number that was also on my bank statement, is no longer valid. I was able to find their new phone number which I called on and heard a short recorded message telling folks to email info@maltuzi.com for disputes. I did. It is my experience that when they are this evasive for even the basic requests, they are up to no good when combined with all of the other complaints and redirects I have seen. Things are right in front of you all, think twice before using them.

Trust me this company is awful.

Company: The Clear Solution
Address : 4615 Milkweed Ln, Colorado Spring, CO 80917, United States

This company The Clear Solution is only interested in getting the one job and not about keeping an account with clients for the future. His policies are short sided and not in the better interest of the client. Do not use The Clear Solution; they only do more damage in the end. Let me tell you why I am saying so. I called on the Clear Solution floor care company to strip, wax and finish the floor in our medical office. Before they would do the job they asked for the check up front. Upon inspection the next day the floor looked terrible. Fibers, dirt and bits of the old wax were waxed into the floor. Wax on our cabinets, equipment, and floor base. And signs of the old wax still existed in the form of chair marks, lab wax and so on. i called them next morning, the owner of the company and left a message on his voice mail to contact us. But he never called back; finally we were forced to cancel the check written to him. Four days later he called us and began to make threats of law suits and refused to come and inspect the floor! After many calls back and forth with much anger he agreed to look at the floor. He pretends to see nothing wrong but agrees to redo the job. We agreed to pay for the materials in addition to the original price driving the cost of this job up another $250.00. We scheduled a day for the job but because one person preferred to speak with wasn't in town he cancelled by no call - no show and turned around and sued us in small claims court forcing us to pay $740.00 to him for a job he did badly to begin with! Now we have to hire someone else to once again strip and wax our floor to repair the damage done by The Clear Solution floor company. Trust me this company is awful.

As we both are working and have to do over time usually we never get time to clean the house so I appointed this company for a clean up, believe me they are not punctual at all. On this date pro clean came to our house 2.5 hrs late. They then tried to charge us $200 when we were quoted $39 and had a coupon to show. The problem was corrected; however, I am sure many other people have fallen for it. It was used with the bully tactic that they would not get the furniture clean without charging for the extras. I think they don't understand what is cleaning called, if I appoint any one for cleaning then why should any one leave options? They then used our personal equipment to mix unknown chemicals with; this was unknown to us until the tech was leaving. We only caught this on accident because we thought he left his scoop behind, however it was our scoop and is use to make food and coffee with. I have no material safety Data Sheets on this product. My family was in danger of unwillingly consuming unknown Chemicals. At this point I called the person in charge and told her not to process the payment, she assured me they would not, and the manager would call. But no phone calls. On another day some one else called and said we were out of line and if we stopped the payment she would continue to Charge our card even though it was unauthorized. The owner then talked to me and began trying to intimidate me and swearing at me calling me names. I hung up; he then called back twice after I told him not to call my home and did the same. I then checked our account and it had been charged. They are nothing but bundle of cheaters who are minting money from people.

Company: Xtreme Chemicals
Address : 1707 Mimosa;, Plano, TX United States

Recently I had a salesperson from this company come to the house and demonstrate their product, it worked well and I thought of many uses I could find for it. I agreed to buy a large container of it for use. What I got for $38.00 was a small quart sized bottle. The salesperson dropped it off when I wasn't home so I couldn't refuse the product. I called the next morning after purchase to their office and was told that even though their written policy on the back of the sales receipt stated that refunds would be given in full if not satisfied within 10 business days I was told that I could submit my request, then I would receive a letter with questions from the company, then if they determined based on my answers that I was entitled to a refund I would get one sometime after that. Not within the 10 days it stated on the receipt. I asked why and was told this is how the owner does it. I repeated the written policy and was again told, there was nothing she could do about it I would have to write my letter and send it in first. I said that they had not cashed the check and it wasn't even 24 hours post sale I have 3 business days according to their written policy to return the item and get a full refund, and could they simply stop by or give me the number of the local distributor and we could swap check for product. The girl said no.
So I decided that instead of dealing with them I would simply place a stop payment on the check, which is what I did. If they had said yes, you will receive a refund within x number of days or yes, that is our policy we will honor it, no problem, but to say, yes, even though you followed the policy, we're not going to puts a sour taste in my mouth so either way, now they aren't getting any money out of me! Not to mention the fact that what they are selling to you is not the products you receive! There are perfect scam artist stay away I will see to it that they are exposed in front of the public.

They have the worst customer service.

Company: Sentry Safes
Address : 900 Linden Ave, Rochester, NY 14625, United States

A client gave me a Sentry Safe for which he did not have the combination or keys. I tried and tried over a period of two weeks to get though to these people by telephone. Their toll free number is always busy with the exception of between 12 and 1 their lunch hour. Their non 800 number will ring about ten times and suddenly quit. They do not respond to emails either. After several tries I finally got a response to an email. The representative instructed me to get a notarized statement of ownership and fax it to them. I was also instructed to call back the next day to provide billing information. I followed their instructions and I am still waiting for the combination to be mailed to me. Since I have already provided the notarized statement and paid their fees I have once again tried to get through by telephone and emails. But bad luck. If you are looking at a Sentry Safe and considering purchasing it buy another brand there are many more giving the same? This company absolutely sucks you. If you are thinking about buying a Sentry Safe, Don't! This company has the absolute worst Customer Service Department of any company I have ever had dealings with in the entire United States.

Company: Palisades Collections, ATT Wireless
Address : 87 S Commerce Way Ste700, Bethlehem, FL 15228, United States

I ordered an ATT Wireless Phone over the internet, ATT double shipped the phone, and I refused one of the orders, and proceeded to use the phone that I kept, utilizing the one year contract that I signed up for. ATT started double billing me. I called them to let them know that they were double billing and that I only activated one phone and the other phone was refused and sent back. ATT quit billing me; after the year was up I went to venison wireless. Six years later Palisades Collections is trying to collect for the entire year of the phone I sent back and ATT wireless supposedly straightened out. This company is trying to collect a debt that does not exist. This is a Rip Off Company and they do report to Trans Union, Experian and Equifax. If you get contacted by in this company for a non-existent debt, run you credit report, report ATT Wireless and Palisades as fraudulent debt collectors. Do not let them ruin your credit score! Do not let them continue this bad business practice. I don't understand that they are running their business with wrong working and still no one has be bold enough to complain so that none other are their victims, but I will see to it that I expose them.

Please watch out!

Company: Shopping Essentials
Address : PO Box 5152, Des Plaines, illinos United States

When I placed an online order with another company, Shopping Essentials somehow got my credit card information and began billing me a $9.95 membership fee; when I called and confronted them with it, they tried to say that I had agreed to it, but I am so paranoid about such scams, I know it was a total lie. I was not aware of the so called company and nor about their stupid membership. Why the hell should I pay? After talking to them they did agree to cancel the membership within two days, but however, they refuse to refund the first month their customer service agent was so eager to get off of the line with me, but I forced her to put the supervisor on and he assured me it would be cancelled, but not before I made him explain to me how they obtained my information. He was vague, but the short answer was that I had clicked on some type of 20% rebate offer and agreed to their membership. I think they have a cookie enabled in some of these catalog websites and they steal your information. Watch everything you do when making any catalog orders. They are there waiting to get some information and then---, please beware.

Company: Tarrah Dawn the Hair Salon
Address : 1066 National Hwy, Cumberland, MD 21502, United States

This business was very unprofessional and unethical. I just wanted a refund for services that was not wanted at his facility. It was my birthday and my husband bought a gift certificate for a Spa Treatment which could not be performed to standards. As he always wanted me to go for this treatment which I always avoided it. I had no problem with my hair dresser but after I was told to come in and get my refund he said I would have to take my business elsewhere. Just think if Wal-Mart did that they would lose all their customers but Wal-Mart gladly refunds anything you are not satisfied with and still welcome your business. I would not recommend this Salon to anyone. Go where you are appreciated as a customer.

Many have been fooled including me, please beware!

Company: Natuzzi Americas
Address : 2041 Brevard Road,, High Point, NC 27263, United States

I purchased a brand new Natuzzi Leather chair which was hardly ever used and even if it was used it was used under normal household use and conditions. Its not even 2 years and it is already broken. The pins of the headrest broke away from the frame which I believe is the result of a faulty frame and shoddy craftsmanship combined with the use of low quality soft pine species wood as well as the use of cheap metal staples in construction. There is also a problem with the foam padding used in the construction - underneath the leather on both arm rests of the chair the padding has shifted underneath causing the leather to lay directly on top of the wooden frame and looks very unsightly, and makes the chair uncomfortable to sit in. This is not something one would expect to see from a high end Italian Leather Furniture Manufacturer as Natuzzi claims to be. I have tried to contact them about the problem but they are not ready to replace the chair and they tell me they will not repair the chair because the chair was not subject to normal household use, which is a complete lie. This chair is covered under Natuzzi's 10 year warranty for the frame. I have all my original sales receipts. Just wondering how many other people out there have had a bad experience with Natuzzi Leather Furniture. If such people had posted their complaints I would be saved from falling in to their scam.

Fly by night company!

Company: Car Hop
Address : 6529 Penn Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55423, United States

I went to car hop to get a vehicle after my new car was repossessed. I received a ride from a friend who had to get some sleep for work that night. Unfortunately, I did not have enough time to inspect the vehicle, a 1995 Plymouth voyageur which seemed to run fine. About a week later, I noticed some leaking from the engine. I contacted car hop about this problem, and they have several shops around town. I thought that was good until I got the inspection. The mechanic said the engine was leaking in too many places, so he suggested replacing the engine with a new one. I thought it was okay. That was until the mechanic started to play games with me. 2 days passed with no transportation, relying on public transportation and barely enough money to get around, I was frustrated! After the mechanic replaced the old engine with the so called new engine, he told me to meet him at the shop, which I assumed that was were I dropped it off. That wasn't the case! I chased around the city trying to find this auto shop. The mechanic didn't even tell me about this location. I finally arrived at the shop, only to find that the new engine looked exactly like the old one. I am willing to bet that they didn't even touch it, maybe just a little cleaner than before. They replaced a couple of engine parts, which cost me $125.00. I could not believe this. Not only did they lie about the new engine, but they also have the worst customer service I have ever come across, they do not care about customers at all I will never do any business with this fly by night operation again. So would tell others to not do business with them.

This is ridiculous.

Company: J & J Towing
Address : 8509 Burleson Rd, Austin, TX United States

I live in an Apartment Complex that has a vacant lot next door for parking. Up until a few months ago the parking lot had a sign that said you must have a permit to park there or you will be towed. The sign, however, has been down for at least six months. Anyway I parked there in a borrowed car because mine with the permit got into an accident. I had only parked there for about an hour before my car was towed by JJ Towing. I was unable to ask the apartment complex for a new permits because it was the weekend and there were no spots anywhere else. This is a moot point however as there was no longer a sign stating it was illegal to park there without a permit. On top of that JJ Towing charged me for two days of storage even though they towed it at 11PM and I picked it up at 11 AM the following day. This is ridiculous, JJ is abusing their power and someone else should be awarded the contracts for around Campus

Do your homework! Or, just go somewhere else.

Company: U-haul
Address : 353 E 200 S., Salt Lake City, Utah 84101, United States

Prior to moving from Utah to another state, I purchase a tow bar from U-haul that looked really good but didn't fit the vehicle. The bar road too low and was built improperly. I called U-haul and was given the usual run-around. I personally took the vehicle in and showed the manager the problem. Though the manager was sympathetically to my frustration he informed me that the sale was final and that it would even cost me for them to remove the tow bar, stating that any service outside of the written contract would cost extra. I ended up giving the $150.00 tow bar to Deserter Industries Charity and have since ridden my home of any proof of this frustrating transaction but I hope by posting my problem that others can benefit. I still blame myself for the problem to this day. I should have done my homework. So I only have myself to blame. U-haul makes good tow bars. I believe they even guarantee those, but if you are interested in an after market product other than a U-haul brand you should think again. Even if they sell the product. Do your homework! Or, just go somewhere else. I wished I was smart to check them on the internet I would not be scammed.

I placed 3 mares, one with a small foal in the care of Diana Becerra & Ed Testo in mid Nov.2006, buy the 14th of Dec.2006 the mare with the baby had died of starvation. The agreement was that they were to get the ownership of a 4th mare in exchange for the care of the 3 mares & the baby for 2 to 3 months. I also put approx. 400#s of grain & at least 1 1/2 tons of alfalfa hay as well as had given the cash money to help towards some local grass hay. Not once did they call me & say they needed more feed & never did they call me & let me know my horses were in critical condition. On Dec. 14th my mother stopped by & after that, I got a call that I had a mare down. I went there within 45 minutes as I was that far away, with in 20 minu
