I WAS NOT TREATED WELL WHEN I REQUESTED A REFUND FOR PRODUCTS I DID NOT RECEIVE!!!

Company: Trimlife Inc
Address : 2624 Vermont Ave, Bismarck, ND 58504, United States

Recently, I requested a refund from your company because I had not received your product by mail as promised. It wasn't until I checked with my bank & asked about the deduction from my account on not one occasion but two that fund were being deducted from my account I spoke to a gentle first regarding this matter (never responded to my request) & I second I spoke to a female who was very rude & hung up on me after my complaint was voiced. I am not used to being treated in such a manner when requesting a refund for products never received. When asked about the refund the female said that because I waited 2 months to request a refund for their never received product that I would not be receiving a refund from your company. I am not an avid internet user because I have children & wasn't aware that this situation had occurred. To help keep me as a potential future customer, I would like the following:
Please refund my money at the very least I would like a response from your company regarding this incident.

The worst customer service I have ever dealt with.

Company: Sofa Express
Address : 9313 Colerain Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45251, United States

A little over a year ago we purchased a living room suit from Sofa express. We also purchased an extended warranty that the salesman said would cover anything that went wrong with it after a year. About a week before the year warranty expired I called Sofa express to tell them that some of the springs were damaged on the right side of the sofa. They in turn referred me to the warranty company, even though it had not been a year yet. In the brochure that we received with the sofa, it says that the springs were warranted for 5 years. Finally after arguing the point with Sofa express that it was still their responsibility and not the extended warranty companies, I called that company.
That was when I found out that the extended warranty that I purchased was only for stains and tears, period. Sofa express salesman lied to me about that.
After a lot of phone calls and screaming at Sofa express representative finally said they would take care of it. They gave me an appointment 6 weeks from the time I called them. The day before they were to arrive, they called me and told me my window for the service man was between 12:00pm and 3:00pm. Well needless to say they didn't show up until 4:00. The man was here for about ten minutes, agreed that there was something wrong with the springs and that his office would call me. All that time for nothing.
It has been over a week since the service man was here and they still have not called. I have called twice. The first time the people could not find my paperwork. The second time I was told that the lady that took care of this was out of the office until Monday. Still haven't heard anything. NEVER, NEVER AGAIN will I buy from Sofa express. The worst customer service I have ever dealt with.

Never apply for Health Insurance from Protective Smart health

Company: www.protectivesmarthealthpremier.com
Address : 205 E Central Blvd, Orlando, FL 32801, United States
URL: http://www.protectivesmarthealthpremier.com

On September 2005, I call a number of the internet about supplement health insurance and explained them that I was looking for a supplemental health insurance to go with medicare and he explain all what his company offered in that capacity and it sounded good to me. In the end I asked him how do I know if this was a rip off or not. He replied me that I could call better business and inquire. It sounded like everything I need and at a price I liked. So I decided to go for the same.
He told me that I had to pay $84 monthly in which I will get a mail order discount prescription drug benefits and also I had to pay a one time $100 dollar fee plus my first month bill which came to 184.99 which he assured me I could get all of my money back if I wasn't satisfied. I get the material and the first thing I read in this book is protective smarthealth is not insurance. So I immediately contacted them and told them that they have provided me the wrong information and so I want all my money back. One lady reply me back that she would deposit my $84 back in my account in 7 days, but the $100 was a one time non refundable charge and if I wanted to fight then I should write to their Head Office.
Fro the whole incidence I came to know that they have cheated me by providing me with all the wrong information. So all of you please be aware and never apply for Health Insurance from Protective Smarthealth as they are completely rip-off.

I QUIT!!!!

Company: Comcast Corporation
Address : 1500 Market St FL 33e, Philadelphia, PA 19102, United States

I set up my 40" HD TV; the Xbox 360 HD picture was tremendous. When I hooked up Comcast, the shadows made the picture not viewable. I got the HD box - same crappy picture on regular and barely viewable on the HD channels. Comcast service rep came right out, told me that it was my TV. I showed him the HD output from the Xbox with perfect picture, proving that it wasn't the TV. He assured me that the problem was my TV.
I got Dish Network installed today. The picture is spectacular. Geeee ... do you still think the problem is my TV? I returned all of my Comcast equipment and when I told them why, they just accepted the equipment ... like it happens there every day. With such crappy HD broadcast, I am guessing that this isn't the first time that they heard this. It has to sting, though, when they hear the picture is so good from Dish. All of that Comcast HD advertising will sure backfire if they don't fix it. It couldn't happen to a more appropriate company. Liars. I wrote a letter of complaint to Comcast, but did not receive an answer. If you have had any similar problems please leave a comment here and do as I did and quit Comcast and write a letter to the FTC.

I cancelled my account with AOL because......

Company: AOL
Address : 2200, AOL Way, Dulles, Virginia 20166, United States

I had an account with AOL and I cancelled it. A short time after that a friend of mine noticed that someone was on AOL using my screen name and account-with my personal pictures and all-at different times of the day and night. I called AOL customer service and got the call this number, call that number, and talk to this person. What was sort of amusing but yet was not funny, was when I would call their customer service number and talk to their agent, he or she would argue with me and say, "No sir, your account has been cancelled. It is not possible for you to be online with your AOL account." I would then instruct them to go on line and see for themselves. After a brief period of time, they would come back on the line and tell me that indeed someone was online with my account. I was told that the problem would be resolved within 24 hours. I went through this scenario a couple of times and after that I had had enough so I contacted the CEO's office at AOL, spoke with someone in his office, faxed and emailed them my information and informed them that if my problem was not resolved within 72 hours I would contact people I know at every level of the federal and state government. Also I would have to contact an attorney to protect my interests if anything happened to me as a result of this person being on line with my screen name and account. Needless to say whoever was using my screen name and account was no longer on AOL within 12 hours.

Never seen anything this bad anywhere!!!

Company: EarthLink Inc.
Address : 1375, Peachtree Street, N.W, Level A, Atlanta, Georgia 30309, United States

I spent nearly a month with no DSL signal despite phone calls to earthlink's tech support almost daily with cumulative HOURS and HOURS spent on hold...for one solid week they didn't even answer the phone. Instead, they had a message saying they were "experiencing heavy call volume please call back", at which point they disconnect the line. As I type this, I have been disconnected by a technician attempting to transfer me to yet another dept.
I have been disconnected probably 20 times (usually after being on hold for over 30 minutes). After briefly getting the service back up, it is down again and I've had an open trouble ticket for a week. I have spent another week on interminable holds, disconnect and transfers to people who transfer me back to where I started. Today I received an email that the problem was resolved and the trouble ticket was closed. I still have no DSL signal. After finally getting through to someone, I was told that a representative would call me in 5 days. That's it! Every single customer support person that answers the call clearly is looking for any opportunity to either get the customer off the phone or transfer the call to someone else. Never seen anything this bad anywhere!!!
EARTHLINK IS THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE ON EARTH!

First problem I encountered dealing online.

Company: www.EBulkcandy.com
Address : P O Box 7545, NJ, 8628, United States
URL: http://www.ebulkcandy.com/

I made an inquiry about 12 pounds of royal blue almonds and 7 pounds of metallic gold almonds for a parish 100th anniversary celebration on May 22, 2005. I received a quote by email within 10 minutes. I wanted to fax my order in, but didn't hear from them and emailed them to ask if they had received it. They hadn't. So went ahead and ordered it through pay pal. I received a confirmation and a thank you email. She told me that I could expect the blue almonds at the end of the week, and the gold ones the next week. Got the blue ones a day early and they were lovely. I never received the gold ones. I bombarded them with emails that went unanswered, faxes that were ignored, and telephone calls that were not returned. I wrote to cancel the rest of the order and never heard from them. Tried to contact Packing department same thing. I had to reorder the gold almonds from another company--they were much more expensive, but I received them in 2 days. I called my credit card company, and they are investigating it. They said that I should keep all documentation for 90 days. In the meantime, they credited my account for $104.98. I have ordered on the internet for years, and this is the first problem I have ever encountered. There is no customer service. It is doesn't exist. I am surprised that I received the royal blue. That helped because they're the only dealer that I found that carries royal blue.

Facts

Company: RAINBOW CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER
Address : 565 TRACY ROAD, WHITELAND, INDIANA United States

I am an employee that not only works for Rainbow, but was directly involved with the care of this child and speaking with the money. I feel that the story told by this mother is incomplete, and that she may not understand the facts herself.

The child involved was enrolled in this center months before he actually came for his trial day. The mother was intending to start bringing him then, but he was very sick. When she first enrolled him, she was given a tour and everything. The money paid was for the registration fee, which is non-refundable.

On the day in question, the child was dropped off while the other children were napping. The mother dropped him off and promptly left to go on an interview. She had informed me that her child would not need a nap until 2 (which is when our children were starting to wake up). The child was picked up four hours later. The class had woke up from naps and had just finished having snacks, and curriculum activities were just beginning. Her child was crying because he was in a weird place and very tired. She called two days later saying that her child was sick with a cold and wouldn't be bringing him for a while. I personally never heard anything else regarding her or her son.

I honestly have no idea where her comments about teaching skills and ignoring children came from. We were very aware of her child's needs, and he was being carried and given special attention the entire time by the teachers. I myself was in the room with him many times, and witnessed the other teachers directly dealing with him with nothing less than TLC.

To me, I think that the mother is upset about not getting her money back. I can understand her frustration, but I have never heard of any daycare giving money back for care provided. The center still has to pay the workers who cared for her son, and the registration fee is written on the admission application as non-refundable. However, because you are upset about not getting your money is no reason whatsoever to put down the teaching abilites of those who cared for your child.

Our daycare center has over 85 families enrolled, all of which are very happy with our services. We are full in most rooms and have waiting lists, even for unborn siblings, with parents who value the care and education that we provide to their children. We are open from 6a-6p and we encourage you to come check us out yourself if you are interested in enrolling your child.

Check Con

I have placed an ad for an adult tricycle on "CraigList" and I have been contacted by Mr. Weiss requesting that I hold the bike for him, send him my home address and phone number and that he would send me a cashiers check for $3,800 to deposit in my checking account - I was to keep $450 for the bike and then send the rest on to his shipping company who would then come and pick up the bike. He claimed that he was in Canada.
I was contacted last year (via the U.S. Post Office) for a similar scam that time claiming I had "won" money but had to cash a check for a very large sum for the "company" to recieve any money. I reported that to my local police. Since this was over the internet I am contacting you.

I want my money back or my order NOW!

Company: www.safetrustprocessing.com
Address : Louisiana, New Orleans, United States
URL: www.safetrustprocessing.com

I think this name safe trust does not apply to this company as it is not safe buying from them as well as not trust worthy that they would send the product on time and if not send they will not entertain you for the proceedings. Let me put light on this matter by relating the fact I faced. I ordered a 90 day supply of the Phentermine 37.5 - for $119.00 saying that I agreed it would take 5 days for the order to be shipped that was absolutely fine as I had the stock for a week and then after I paid for it with my credit card I received a message telling me it would be 10-15 days before the order would be placed because of a shortage. That was a little difficult but I managed it as I had placed the order. Since then I have tried to check my order status with the order number, and the password to no avail. There is no response, and when I tried to call the phone number it would not go through. I want my money back or my order NOW! I understand others have had this same experience and I believe some higher entity needs to now get involved. Some one should come forward to stop this company other wise I doubt in no time many like me will be the victim of this company.

My Health Pro is not really bothered abouth the health of their customers...

Company: www.myhealthpro.com
Address : 322 7th Avenue, 3rd Floor, NY, 10001, United States
URL: www.myhealthpro.com

For almost a year I purchased vitamins from MyHealthPro.com. At times they were a little slow in shipping, but I tried to order well in advance of my need. On May 12, 2006, I placed an order and the charge went through on my credit card on May 15. However, the order did not come and the online shipping status reflected no shipment. I called twice, talking to the same man but was not successful i8n getting the name who told me the same thing about the order getting stuck in the system and that they had the product in stock, would ship the next day and give me free next day delivery because of the glitch. Each time I waited a reasonable amount of time way beyond the next day shipment and never received the product. Then I wrote an e-mail asking that they ship the product by a certain date or credit my account. I received no reply. At no time during these exchanges did the online status of my order change, even though the man I talked to say each time that he had fixed the problem in the computer and the order was now scheduled. They are too late and are not at all responsible to commit their work. I can say that they are complete nonsense as they are not bothered about the health of an individual.

Do not render good service at all.

Company: www.buyephedraonline.com
NA, United States
URL: www.buyephedraonline.com

I ordered some of the original Stacker 2 pills the yellow ones with ephod and waited for 2 weeks for delivery. After 2 weeks passed, I tried contacting them by e-mail 5 times with no reply to any of the e-mails I sent. I wasn't too concerned because my bank said that the $60 had not been removed from my account yet. I decided to write another e-mail canceling the order all together since they had not even billed me yet. I went on to order the product from another company. A couple of weeks later, I checked my bank statement and found that just a few days earlier, the $60 had been removed from my account by www.buyephedraonline.com over a month after the order had been made and two weeks after the order was cancelled. Later that week, I received a package in the mail from them with some cheap Stacker 3 pills the pink and purple ones that don't have any ephedrine in them. I could have bought them myself at the store for $20 or less. Never order anything from them they are cheaters, who do not render good service at all.

Why cant they appoint better sales person...

Company: Bath fitter
Address : 52 East Madison Avenue, Dumont, NJ 7628, United States

We ordered this product to repair a leak in the floor of our shower, but we didn't want a cheap motel look, so we ordered the tile look at an additional charge of $399. The saleswoman agreed, she wrote up a paper that itemized our charges, and we signed off on the financing on a separate sheet of paper. It was said that the delivery and installation would be in 6 weeks. Two days later they confirmed an installation date of 8 weeks away. Even after taking two weeks extra these guys turn up with the cheap motel sheets of plastic. On objected my husband told the installer to stop so he called his boss, who then told us we signed off on the plain wall look! They claim the second piece of paper, which I thought was a finance agreement, was in fact a Work Order from which the materials were ordered and the wrong type of wall was circled on the form. We should not have to be responsible for the salesperson's mistake! We called the company and told them we would settle for the plain walls if they gave us a $200 credit since we do not think it is structurally sound to pile another layer of plastic on the walls. We figured we cannot afford to take another day to have workmen in our house, smell it up again with the awful smelling glue, and risk some other problem with the job, so $200 is probably even a low estimate of how much resale value will be lost by the cheap look the plastic gives. However, we thought it was Bath fitter's best interest to not have to pay for another installer to come out and install another layer of material, so taking the $399. Off with $200. Compensatory damages were not a bad deal. They won't budge. We have an itemized expense sheet on their letterhead that gives the price and the work, but they say that sheet of paper does not count. They are doing us a favor by installing the tile look, since the order was not written up correctly by their saleswoman. What type of business are they doing why cant they appoint better sales person for their company to avoid such nonsense?

I have lost my money and no medicine

Company: Rx Kline Pharmaceuticals

I am a high blood pressure patient and can not do without medication as the blood pressure rises so high that I sometimes faint, and on the other hand the medicines are so expensive that it really kills my budget and I am always in distress. While on the computer I found that the same medicines were low in cost so I ordered medication I severely need that was available at a lower cost online than my pharmacy. I ordered from them thinking they were reputable. I have yet to receive my order. I tried to contact this company many times with only one reply and no support. It has been three months since I've ordered my medication and have had to go back to paying higher prices for it. This company ripped me off for about $400. This company is a big red flag. Someone needs to go and get all this money back these people are taking from us. We need lawyers who are ready to find these scumbags and prosecute them. I was carried away with the low cost but see the fact that I met a scam artist who took my money but no medication was send, I have lost my money and no medicine, can some one help me as I can not afford to lose this money.

They should be punished for this type of practice.

Company: www.helio.com
Address : Helio LLC, 10960 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 700, LA, CA 90024, United States

It was now the right time for me to have a cell phone, as I am a man with a fixed income I was very sure to take the one with the best bargain and after I began searching for a new cell phone company in August and that's when I decided to go with Helios. I purchased the products from Helios via telephone but I decided to cancel that contract because Alltel had a better deal. I really don't know how did I miss the better deal than this company so I cancelled Helios at the end of August and it is now the 7th of November and I still haven't received a refund. I have called and checked if I was even in the system for a refund and the customer service representative state that I should receive a refund by the first of December. This is profoundly unacceptable. Each representative has told me something different in regards to my account and refund pertaining to the tracking number and order number. I am complete unsatisfied with how Helios has handled my account and the lack of promptness with my refund. How is that they are so irresponsible in refunding the amount? They should be punished for this type of practice.

Simply avoid Sleepy Mattress

Company: Sleepy Mattress
Address : 175, Central avenue, South bethpage, NY 11714, United States

I had aback problem, usually after passing the night it was dreadful to get up from bed in the morning and the whole day use to go in pain, when I discuss this matter with my friend, my friend advised me that to change the mattress may be it is not in proper level and might be the reason for the back pain. As it was long since I had not bothered to change and at once decided to change, in regard for this I purchased the mattress from this company, but it was a wrong choice instead of improvement I found that the problem was increasing, take my advise buy your mattress else where I got stuck with a bad mattress and the only thing they care about is how far the mattress sags when nobody is in it!! My mattress sags almost to the box spring and I'm not a heavy person! I am virtually sleeping in a valley! But they don't want to here about it. I have contacted my friend who is a lawyer and we are in the process of a class action suit. But I think all this will take quiet some time, till then I can't afford to use it for getting more pain. Just simply avoid.

I ordered a mattress from b-sleep.com on Mar 27th. I was invoiced for the product on mar 29th for 2000 dollars. I was told that the product would ship in 20 days. When I called back I was told the mattress was on backorder. I then called and e-mailed to this company and did not receive any responses. My next encounter was that b-sleep had filed bankruptcy and foamexperts.com was buying out the company and web-site and would make good on the orders that was placed through b-sleep. I have yet to receive any product. I filed a report to the Attorney general in New York; I also sent an e-mail to a Lawyer in New York. I have not heard from either one of them. I called week of 11-04-06 to foam experts and got a recording that said the company had a fire in the office section and would be closed for two weeks. All I have had is one lie after another. I would like for some help with this matter. I order this product in good faith. My Husband and I are on a fixed income. He has severe back problems and that was why I ordered the product. I also found out from the better business bureau that the company b-sleep was doing false advertising on the web-site. I have e-mails from Will Vega saying that the product would ship. I have a report from the bbb also. This is a fraudulent company don't get carried away by they product on the web site as it is a total false advertisement.

This is a horrible way to conduct business & receive referrals.

Company: Big Daddy's Hauling & Home Improvement
Address : 7410 School Ave, Baltimore, Maryland 21222, United States

They installed a brand new bathroom on the first floor tiles in the shower & on the floor but there were pin holes in the grout. They
finally returned 3 months later and the excuse for not coming sooner was they had another huge money making job to repair but at that time the grout not only had pin holes but it was cracked, 2-toned in color, & the shower wall had bowed, did I also mention that the floor tiles had a hollow sound to it. Finally in November after contacting the state inspector and mailing a certified letter to the company they attempted to repair the bathroom. This made matters worse. Now I have chipped shower tiles everywhere, a cracked floor tile and they don't even match the existing tiles on the floor. The grout is still cracked & 2-toned also. Besides all of this they were suppose to regret & seal the new bathroom upstairs, repairs holes in a closet, & get the main phone upstairs working. On November 27, 2006 I received a phone call from an employee of Big Daddy's stating that the contractor said he would not be sending anyone back out & to call the Home Improvement Commission if that's my wish. The contractor himself we haven't seen or spoken to since June 2006. We've only spoken with an employee since then. This is a horrible way to conduct business & receive referrals.
Beware of this company.

There are many other airlines avoid them.

Company: United Airlines
Address : 1200 E Algonquin Rd, Elk Grove Village, illinos 60007, United States

I arrived at LAX shortly before 1:00 p.m for my 2:00 pm flight to San Francisco, and after waiting in line, I was informed by the
skycap that the deadline for checking in luggage passed while I was waiting in line. I went in to try to check in at the desk, but I was forced to go on the next flight at 3:00PM. Seven- Hours shuffling between Gates only to be told repeatedly that due to the flights being oversold, I would have to wait for the next flight. I had plenty of company. Apparently I was still Number 60 on the waiting list at 8:00PM and United was unable to let more than 2 people go standby on any of the subsequent 6 flights and none on most. I counted about 20 people in the group going from Gate to Gate trying to get on. This was not a Holiday weekend, just an ordinary Sunday. Finally, at 8:00PM, I stood in line at the customer service and along with another passenger, demanded that my ticket be pushed to another Airline. I had to go to another Terminal, fly on Frontier Airlines because United employees kept telling me the chances of me getting on a United SF flight that night were slim to none. I live 70 Miles away from SFO, so I did not get home until 1:30AM, and had to go to work early the next morning. No United employee even suggested it despite my repeated pleas for help getting home. And to add insult to injury, when I arrived in SFO, my luggage was still in LAX, the United Luggage desk in SFO made me put in a lost luggage claim with Frontier and as a result I did not get my luggage back until late the next day. And when I repeatedly tried to call with a complaint, it was impossible to get any representative outside India. They will NOT forward you to a supervisor until you practically badger them into it, and even when they do, the Supervisor is merely a slightly more polished version of the person you just spoke to. All you ever get are useless apologies and meaningless platitudes. The fact remains that United aggressively oversells their flights in pursuit of the almighty Dollar. There are many other airlines avoid them.

Address : Building 4, Fifth Floor, One Allied Drive, Little Rock, Arkansas 72202, United States
URL: www.alltel.com/

Relocating to a new area, I had minimal available service at my new home with Tmobile, who I have been happy with for over six years. I needed a new carrier. I went on line and ordered a phone from Lets Talk on 7-20-06. Lets Talk set up my service with the carrier I chose, Alltel. I received my phone 7-26-06. The phone only worked for three days so I called and I got approval to return the phone on 7-28-06, which I did, for which I was given refund and I ordered for the new phone. 17 days later, on 8-14-06 I received another phone. Upon receiving the phone I got error recordings when dialing any telephone numbers. I called Alltel customer service and was eventually transferred to someone who talked me through the necessary programming of the phone. I also informed customer service I had no phone from 7-28-06 to 8-14-06. Dropped calls combined with all the previous difficulties with Alltel and Lets Talk finally forced me to call Lets Talk on 8-24-06 to tell them I wanted to cancel my service. They authorized the return and I mailed it back on 8-30-06. I called Alltel and told them the situation. I was told by Alltel I could not cancel because Lets Talk would have to assure Alltel that my phone was returned. I was told Alltel would know this information, just as they knew I needed service from LetsTalk.com. I have continued to follow up with Alltel with several phone calls and had to repeat my sequence of events each time. To my surprise a full bill came for September, October and the 200.00 disconnect penalty first shows up, then a late payment charge in November 06. Each time I called I had to start over from the beginning. Luckily, I have all my emails to and from Lets Talk and tracking numbers to show when my phones were received and returned. I sent a certified letter to Alltel with all these emails and requested a correct bill and still no response. I also sent emails with these attachments and still no response. Buyers don't opt for this service as it is not worth while and it keeps you waiting without the phone by not resolving the matter.

I am gonna call them and cancel my enrolllment...

Company: ASHWORTH COLLEGE / PCDI / JAMES MADISON HIGH SCHOOL
Address : 430 Technology Parkway, Norcross, Georgia 30092, United States

I signed up for what I thought was a real college distance learning program through PCDI. The next day I got the call from the so called school, and they enrolled me into ASHWORTH COLLEGE. About 1 week later I got my Materials, Lessons and my 1st book. For the 1st week I studied hard everyday and reviewed for hours. After that week was up, I sent in my first Lesson. Then within the next day in the mail I receive the monthly tuition amount $71 I owed them. Well funny thing is I would have been studying today right now being my 2nd actual week with them for lesson 2 but, thankfully I had some doubts about how everything was looking. It seems all too easy. So I get on my computer this morning and search around the first site. I type in the address of ASHWORTH COLLEGE and it says there was no college of that name, so then I just type in colleges and the address and a whole list of colleges come up but NO ASHWORTH COLLEGE, NO PCDI, and NO JAMES MADISON HIGH SCHOOL so I started to get really suspicious. The next site I went on to search was my good home site, I type in just the address and it shows ASHWORTH COLLEGE, PCDI AND JAMES MADDISON HIGH SCHOOL.
But as I scrolled down more I ran into ripoffreport.com and it said ASHWORTH COLLEGE. So I read it and there it was. So I actually close my bank account.
I am just about to go call them and cancel my enrollment. Beware of such hidden cost as they reveal only after you are enrolled.

Stay away from these losers...

Company: Papyrus
Address : 209 S La Salle, Chicago, IL 60604, United States

For my sisters birthday I wanted to gift her a picture frame with a picture of me and her together at Disneyland. I heard from one of my friends that this place Papyrus was a great place for frames and stuff like that. So I went there and I found really cool stuff. I liked a frame which had some thing about sisters printed on it. I gave them our picture and told them to put it in the frame and then gift wrap it.
They packed it very nicely. My sister was really excited and opened the gift in a hurry. When she opened it she saw that our picture was scratched right in the centre and the frame was chipped on two corners. I felt embarrassed and took the frame back to the store I told them that I wanted a full refund. They said that is against their policy. I removed the picture from the frame threw at their counter and told them to shove it where the sun don't shine. After that I have been receiving threatening calls from them but that stopped after I complained to the BBB. Please stay away if you don't want to et embarrassed when the one you love opens the gift you bought and finds it broken and scratched. Stay away from these losers.

Genie car wash they will make your money disappear...

Company: Genie Car Wash
Address : 1021 W. William Canon Dr., Austin, TX 78745, United States

Hi I had given my car here for wash last week on Monday. They told me that they would wash the car and return it the next day coz I had gone late and I also wanted a full service. The assured me that I would get it the next day so I paid them the full amount in advance. When I went the next day they told me that the machine was down and I would get it after two days.
So I went again after two days and they gave me another excuse saying that the guy who does the job was not there and so they could not get it done. Does only one guy know how to wash cars here I thought this pace was especially for car wash. They said that there are two guys working there at the moment and one was absent and the other came for sometime both the days and left. I was very disappointed. They did not even apologize and my car was not looking as good as it does when I give it to other Car washes. I will never go back to this place. Genie car wash they will make your money disappear.

This user name and personal name actually are real...just not on alibaba. Someone stole the real George Machesic's name and GPMAC12 forum name from another website. The real George Mechasic does NOT deal with electronics at all so if you are in contact with someone who claims to be him but is selling tv's, ipods, laptops and cell phones you are speaking with the scammer! I learned all this today by speaking with the real George Mechasic and also the fact that his website www.gpmac12.com was shut down and being investigated as well as paypal launching their own investigation into my payment to him without me asking! He has an alternate user name of paraiul as well!

Stuffing envelopes scam

Company: Coffee Korner
Address : 5107 N. Belt, St. Joseph, Mo 64506, United States

I found the coffee korner web site while surfing for recipes. The site stated that they needed someone to stuff envelopes for $1.00. I'm usually cautious of these things that sound too good to be true. What they did not mention was that you have to post an add for their coffee recipes asking shoppers to send $1.00 along with a self-addressed stamped envelope. Then I will in turn send them a copy of the recipes. I feel like a big dummy but if I can stop just one person from making a mistake and giving this person $32.95 I will be happy.

In my opinion it is outright thievery.

Company: Hewlett-Packard Company
Address : 3000 Hanover Road, Palo Alto, CA 94304, United States

I recently tried to flash my laptop BIOS from HP's site and the flash stop midway and damaged the BIOS Chip to where the laptop would not even turn on again. I called HP and then I sent the laptop in to HP and asked them to replace the BIOS and their service department came back and said it was not the BIOS, but was a bad Motherboard and the laptop also a bad hard drive. I had already paid $385.83 to get the laptop repaired by HP. Now they told me it would be an additional $700.00 to get a new motherboard and hard disk. I knew that they were completely out of it and trying to rip me off, for I am a computer technician. I told them to forget it and just send the computer back to me. They did, I then contacted a company in my local area, Tampa, and they replaced the BIOS Chip as I had asked HP to do in the first place. After they replaced the BIOS chip the computer worked just fine, as I expected. In my opinion, HP is guilty of deceptive repair practice, and s law suit should be taken against them. I told them of this situation and they also refused to send back my money that I paid for repair, which they lied about and did not do. I do not have the money to take legal action, but would welcome any others with similar experiences to help me to get as many as possible and also get a lawyer who might like to take a class action suite against HP. Let me know, because this kind of action by HP should be stopped immediately and I have heard from others that it is common practice by them. In my opinion it is outright thievery.

It's not Bullard but bull shit.

Company: Bullard Auto Service
Address : 15707 E 24 Highway, Independence, Missouri 64050, United States

I took my car to Bullard to get my car fixed. I thought it may be a CV joint and told them so. They said they would look at it and call us to let us know what was wrong and to get authorization to repair it. They called and stated that it was not the CV joint but that the steel belt in both front tires had broken. They quoted me for two new tires and an unnecessary front end alignment $240. I refused the repairs and told them I would be by to pick it up. Upon arrival I was billed $36 for Road testing which she later stated never happened and a Front end inspection. I never authorized any repairs and was never told of any charges for what she later called Diagnosis. On top of this my car had 31 more miles on it then when I left it there and they insisted that they never took it off the lot. I refused to pay and she then called the police on me. These people are overcharging for unnecessary repairs and cruising around or running errands in your car. They fail to mention the charge for the estimate. Unless you want to be taken advantage of, do not go to Bullard Auto Service. I had the worst experience if my life its not Bullard but bull shit.

Don't ever opt for this university.

Company: Westwood College Online
Address : 7350 North Broadway, Denver, Colorado 80221, United States
URL: www.westwoodonline.edu

I went to college to earn a best in web design and multimedia and picked Westwood college online, big mistake. I have heard from others online and the school dean that there have been many lawsuits and complaints since attending college. I have heard rumors about my courses here would not be accepted at most other colleges and that nobody will hire a student with no experience. The school offers no job placement assistance at all, and the only help was to send me some job site links where I can submit my resume online, that's it and it's no help. Westwood College promised to take care help me handle my finances, train me in a growing field, and give me a great education, they lied. I' am most of my way through school, so it
seems impossible to stop now. I was initially told by the financial aid department, after many problems that my all my loans would be basically in one account and I could make one payment to them to cover all the interest. I have never gotten any statements or bills telling me any account information, interest, or anything, but have been sending them the agreed amount anyway. I consolidated all my federal loans with salie Mae, and now that is growing interest at almost the same rate as my Westwood payments. Meanwhile I am still sending payments to a school even though they have refused to disclose if I owe them any money, or any details. Financial aid department is a joke and they routinely dodge answering any of my questions. They have provided me with many very poor classes with messed up courses, messed up quizzes, and many unnecessary classes. I have also not been given any good classes that I would really need to succeed in the field. I have been in school for web design two years and guess how many course assignments have included designing a full web page, one. How can I really expect to get a job when I don't even build web pages in school? Messed up quizzes, have sent me the wrong book with software, and billed me for a book I couldn't use, or exchange it for a new one. I have designed on my own; the school has not taught me much. I feel I will be over charged, under trained, and royally screwed after graduation, with no job to show for it and huge bills. Don't ever opt for this university.

What a tragic experience.

Company: Hewlett Packard
Address : 3000 Hanover Street, Palo Alto, California 94304, United States

It was very hectic doing extra time in the office so I decided to take up some work at home and therefore in August, 2006, we purchased a HP All in One Printer. We did not use the print pictures function until October. When we tried to use it, the picture paper would not feed. After several conversations and attempts to fix, HP agreed to replace the printer with a new one. Having been there before, we asked if we would be getting a new printer or a refurbished one. The answer was whatever we have on hand. We spoke with some sort of executive with HP and were told that is their policy: period. We explained that the printer was less than 2 months old and used, refurbished, etc. printer was not acceptable. Was told we have no choice. The new printer was sent to us and was asked to provide a credit card number in case we didn't return the original printer. We received the replacement printer. What a disgusting joke. The printer had scratches and scuffs on it, had dust and dirt on the inside and was obviously misused. We called HP and told them we would be returning the replacement unit. We will never purchase another HP product. It is pathetic that consumers can be treated this way with no recourse. HP should just state up front that their products come without any warranty. What a tragic experience.

What a nuisance?

Company: Mac Mall
Address : 4725 E Shelby Dr, Memphis, Tennessee 38118, United States
URL: www.macmall.com

I ordered a wireless Bluetooth mouse from this company, and days later before the mouse arrived apple released the wireless mighty mouse, so I decided I had return the mouse I ordered from Mac mall and get the mighty mouse instead. I hadn't gotten the Mac mall and so I wrote an email asking for and RMA. They never responded, so I sent more. I tried calling, but couldn't find time to call during their business hours because they're in Tennessee and I'm in Korea right now. finally I got through to them, a little after 5:00am local time, and I am told that they have a 15 day window for returned items, regardless of if it's open or not. I told the rep that I was going to return the item for a refund regardless, since its BS that they have such a short window. Without arguing anymore, he gave me the address to ship the mouse to. I thought it was pleasantly odd that he gave that information up so quickly. As soon as I had the address, he almost hung up the phone and then I realize that I still don't have an RMA number to put on the box. How would they know which order to refund the money to? I ask the receptionist what my RMA number is, and he pauses and responds, stuttering that I can't get a refund because it's past time. In other words, I was just about to mail the mouse back to the address he gave me, and they were going to simply sell it to someone else, without giving me a single cent back. If I tried to get a refund later, their excuse would be that I didn't include an RMA number. After talking to a supervisor for almost half an hour, I have gotten an RMA number. I am sending the mouse back now, but I have obviously lost all trust in this company. What a nuisance?

Please get to know any company before you commit your time and money to them. Do not make the same mistake I made. They will rip you off. Kiki Originals in Long Beach, CA is one of the worst companies I have come across. I had the worst experience of my life here. I had ordered a pretty dress that was expensive. Was promised shipping on time and was charged the same day as that of the order.
The one who made my dress had totally ruined it. The craft work was awful. They had ordered the wrong fabric. They did not even get the color right. How stupid are they. There were additional touches given to the dress something I did not order for. They did it without my permission and charged me for it. When I asked them to fix it I was told that they have a no return policy that does not allow them to do so. I was returning the dress just asking them to fix it. They are so dumb. They give you what they like and nothing of your choice. I am not the only one complaining search the web and you will see the million complaints against them. Buyer Beware!!!!!

Hi, I had spent hell lotta money here trying to get my dress like what I wanted it to be. I had received the dress in a garment bag fully wrinkled and the top part was at the bottom and the dress was dirty. The dress was not even hung properly.
I had made a cal to the company telling them about this. I asked for the owner but the rep did not get her on the phone so that I could speak to her. She told me that I should give it to some laundry service and get it done again. Well they are supposed to do all that and then deliver the dress to me. That's not my work. I told her that most of the bridal stores get it done. She replied that I should have got my dress done form them then. I got annoyed, and that rep hung up on e. she has no manners thinks she owns the shop and acts too smart. I will never go to that store again they are useless and don't know what is the duty of a bridal store.

Company: NET10 Wireless
Address : 8390 N.W. 25th Street, Miami, FL 33122, United States
URL: www.NET10.com

It was Christmas time and I decided to gift my grand daughter a cellular camera phone, as she was going to finish with her schooling this year and heading for the college. I thought that it was the most prominent gift for her. I ordered through the internet and soon found that my daughter had already purchased the same gift for her daughter and therefore decided to cancel the order. So I called Net 10 and cancelled my order on 12/11/06. They said they would refund the money in three days. When that didn't happen I called again and they said they had to get the phone back. I never got the phone from FedEx as I called them and had them send it back. Net 10 received the phone on 12/16/06. Since then I have spoken to 6-8 customer service people who have all told me different things from it takes 7 days to you have to write a letter to it's being processed. I got the corporate office number from the internet and spoke to them who told me no one ever processed the refund now this is a month later. I continued to call the corporate office that connects you to customer service who repeats the same process of checking everything and putting you on hold. I managed to speak in the Vice Presidents office and told her of the events. I did file a report with the Better Business office who says they have 30 days to respond. She said there was no reason they should have not processed my refund. She did call me back today and said the refund was processed and to call her if I did not get it. We'll see. Now I would suggest anyone who purchases this phone to be prepared to go through what I did for over a month if you have a problem. They have the ability to take the money from your account immediately but have very poor refund service and unaccountability for their customer service agents. I purchased a phone for myself but will not be renewing any minutes. I would suggest another cell phone service with a more reputable company. People should start filing complaints with the better Business Bureau and your Attorney General's Office for consumer services in your state. So that it is easy for stopping them to do false business!

I had signed up with Net zero for a month free trial. I called Net zero back before the month was up and told them that the system did not run as expected and I would like to cancel. The lady I talked to said she would set me up with Hi Speed Net zero and give me another free month trial. She also mentioned the more I used it the faster it would get. I tried Net zero once again and called back within days to tell them I wanted to cancel as Net zero is not what I expected. I cancelled their service and was given a confirmation number and was told that the service was cancelled with no charge. While in the process of checking my bank account, I noticed a $25.00 charge from Net zero. I called Net zero and asked why I had a charge when I have cancelled their service. They told me that it was a cancellation fee. I then told them that I had two free trials and that I shouldn't have been charged anything. The person on the phone agreed that I shouldn't have been charged but told me that in order to get the charge reversed, I would have to file a report at Billing@Support.Netzero.com because they couldn't do it over the phone. What kind of business practice is this if they can take your money over the phone but cannot give refunds? Stay away from them it is nothing but a clear scam and the free trials are actually charged.

I am a regular at Home Depot. I have been shopping there for years up until now. Recently I had gone to Home Depot to get some plants for my garden. I really liked some. I ordered them and paid for them through my credit card. I was told that the plants will be delivered in a week's time. I thought that was quick. They said that they would charge extra for shipping and handling and paid that there and then.
I waited for two weeks coz I knew their statement was too good to be true. But I received nothing. I went back to the store they told me that they shipped it long time back and that UPS has it. When I checked with UPS they said that they have no such order. When I asked them again they said that it had not yet left. I told them to do so immediately or I will cancel the order. They sent it. But by the time I got them they were dead. I told them to take it back and give me a refund. They took it back but there is no sign of my money anywhere. I hope I get my money back. I will never do business with these cheaters.

Thanks to Keith in WV. My wife and I are in the clear.... My wife tried to book tickets to Slovakia using cheapo air. We did not get a confirmation back from them for over a week. We called them only to get a voice message service. We looked into them on the internet and found a report by Ken on scam club. After reading what went on we had our card shut down and notified the bank. Two weeks and no reply from them on our concerns and questions. They only called our home after they tried to run the card. They called my wife. The person who called could hardly speak English. They demanded that we pay $50 or $25 per person for our card not working. This is illegal and could be reported. But, what goes around comes around. Cheapo air is super cheapo on customer service and has no understanding of law. Do not use them. After looking around for a while we were able to find the same fare from a company who offered insurance and had great customer service. Thanks so much for helping us save our money. Keith, if you were here we would buy you a beer! Thanks SCAM CLUB!!! nick and lenka whitefish montana

He wanted me to cash $3,000 check, keep $250, and send him check for the balance. Sounds just like some of the scams I have heard of on tv. I hope he gets caught. My answer via email was that item too heavy for me to crate and ship, Must be picked up in person and I will only accept cash. He did not reply. I would like to bring this to the attention of other people who may be contacted by such a scam.

TVONPCELITE is falsely advertised and will not honor refund request

Company: TVONPCELITE
Address : Unknown, Unknown, United States
URL: www.pcontvelite.com

I ordered tvonpcelite on 11/17/2006 and paid for it through Paypal. Had no trouble downloading or installing it. But could not receive any of the network channels, except ESPN. But it was not the ESPN that I know of. It was showing something copletely different from the U.S. ESPN.
None of the channels that I got were in HD as advertised.

The channels that I could receive seemed to be government access channels and the programs kept on repeating like they were not real channels. I did not try to find out what they really were.

I uninstalled it and deleted it from my computer. Then sent an Email to tvonpcelite requesting a refund. I have tried to contact the company many times and have never received a responce or a refund.

I requested Paypal for help getting my refund, but unfortuantly I waited more than 45 days so they refused to help me.

I do not understand why Paypal stills allows this company to do business with it. Because it accepts Paypal I thought it was a legimate company. In the future I will know you cannot trust companies that accept Paypal not being a scam.

In revealing all those personal details about your relationship with Dr Woodard you have proven that this is more of a relationship issue than a religious scam issue.

Matthew 7:1-5 warns against judging others. "...And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?...Hypocrite!"

As for your statement about Jesus and forgiveness. Try reading Matthew 18. Do the words seventy times seven sound familiar? Does the verse which says "So my heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses."

Luke 17:3-4 To rebuke does not mean to point out evey sin we see; it means to bring sin to a person's attention with the purpose of restoring him or her to God and to fellow humans. When you feel you must rebuke another Christian for a sin, check your attitudes before opening your mouth. Do you love the person? Are you willing to forgive? Unless rebuke is tied to forgiveness, it will not help the sinning person. Sadly, your motives are in question because Dr. Woodard already apologized to you on the Rapture Ministries website. But you apparently don't want an apology.

"Everyway of a man is right in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the heart." Proverbs 21:2. People can find an excuse for doing almost anything, but God looks behind the excuse to the motives. Would God be pleased with your real reasons for doing this? God is not pleased when we do good deeds with ulterior motives, including the satisfaction of destroying someone's reputation.

So David said to him, "How is it you were not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy the LORD'S anointed? Then David called one of the young men and said, "Go near, and execute him!" And he struck him so that he died. "So David said to him, "Your blood is on your own head, for your own mouth has testified against you, saying, 'I have killed the Lord's anointed.' Inspite of the fact that Saul had tried to kill David. The reward for the man who killed Saul was death. Draw your own conclusion.

In addition, if your motives are so pure, and the rest of us are so wrong, I dare you to pray Psalm 7:1-6. Instead of striking back, ask God to take your case, bring justice, and restore your reputation.

I don't have to dust off my Bible I read it daily which is why I can use Scripture to reply to you. So get out your Bible and seek knowledge, enlightenment and wisdom. Solomon wrote the Book of Proverbs so that all of us would be wise not in our own eyes but in the eyes of God. Here're some wise words for you: Proverbs 12:15-23; Proverbs 24:19-20; Proverbs 25:21-22; 26:10-12.

This will be my last reply to you because MY Bible says "Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, for he (or she) will despise the wisdom of your words." Proverbs 23:9. You have provent that time and time again. "Do not answer a fool according to his (or her) folly, lest you also be like him (or her). Answer a fool according to his (or her) folly, lest he (or she) be wise in his (or her) own eyes." Proverbs 26:4-5.

I have finished the task assigned to me by my Father. It is His will that all who read these postings do so with a discerning spirit so that they may not be deceived but will see the truth; not be misled by half truths and misinformation but be enlightened as to the difference between a woman foolish woman and a Christian woman. Trust in the LORD and may HIS word continue to stand!

Goodbye and God Bless!

Sears Diehard should be renamed Dieeasy

Company: Ed Andrews
Address : 2404 Charles tew Ct, Hillsborough, NC 27278, United States

Do not buy Sears Diehard batteries. They do not last. If the car sits overnight the battery will barely turn the engine over. Sears has checked the charging system but after the last one failed they said it must be my car and wouldn't replace the battery under warranty. I've talked to several people that have had trouble with these batteries. I wrote the Diehard off to experience and replaced it with an Auto Zone battery. No more problem starts.

Scammed by Newspaperarchive.com

Company: newspaperarchive.com

I signed up for a 2 week free trial period. I was unable to find the information I was looking for. I wanted Ohio papers and I would get all others, alot from Wisconsin. Sometimes I could not get anything at all. I tried calling customer service and would only get recordings. I kept trying for days and I did eventually talk to an unfriendly girl. By day 11 they had charged my account stating I signed up for a 7 day trial period. Basically it was too bad so sad as they laughed their way to the bank. Stay away from Newspaperarchive.com.

Never think of purchasing any item from them as it appears different on the site and absolutely a piece of crap when delivered.

Company: Gunther Gifts
Address : 2717 Loker Ave. West, Carlsbad, CA 92010, United States
URL: www.gunthergifts.com

I recently made a purchase of personalized bar signs from their web page. Before making this purchase I checked their return policy, which clearly stated, if you're not completely satisfied with your purchase, simply return it to us in brand new condition and you will receive a prompt and courteous refund. I was happy to see this. The signs were not an engraved item. I figured that the company must not have included them as the up front cost to produce those signs is much lower than the upfront cost of a metal item to be engraved. So, I ordered seven signs. I got them in and was disgusted to see how cheap looking they were. The picture online simply didn't portray what low quality they would be. The base was cheap looking and the picture was ugly, grainy around the edges and shiny. So, I contacted the company to inform them that they would be returned. After hours on the phone with an employee who informed me that the items were not returnable, the policy should have included all personalized
items. I told him I needed contact information for the person who could authorize the return. I then, emailed to the person in charge of sales. I explained the situation to her. I told her that I was unhappy with how the signs looked and that I would never have ordered them if the return policy hadn't indicated that they could be brought back. The lady replied that I should return them to the company for a return. Almost a month after sending the signs back I received an impersonal receipt as my reply. It stated that the signs were in good condition and that they would refund me fifty percent. I again, emailed. I assumed that a customer service rep had simply dealt with this and was not aware of the situation. It wasn't long before I received a reply there is no return/refund on engraved or personalized items but we refunded you half as a compromise. I certainly understand that the company does not normally issue refunds on personalized items and that the policy on their website was an oversight and that the return policy is no longer listed there. I have also filed with the Better Business Bureau and am waiting to hear back. Never think of purchasing any item from them as it appears different on the site and absolutely a piece of crap when delivered.

I am a great lover of juice, as I always go fro a liquid diet I keep trying various flavors of juices. I purchased their watermelon juice product from the local grocery store. It was foul tasting and apparently close to being rotten or expired. It tasted like rotten fruit. I wrote the company to tell them about this and asked for a refunded of the purchase price of my drink as on their website it states "Sundia Watermelons have passed a strict, 3-Point Certification, meeting our standards for sweetness, firmness and color. It's rare I ever do this, but being that the price of the drink was high I expected way better than the typical experience I got. They told me their was no guarantee and they would send me a coupon in the mail. It's been months I have not seen anything from them. To make matters even shadier the refund document on the website doesn't even work. I pointed this out to them and it did not seem to matter per their email. I just wanted my money back for a poor product. I do not believe was the grocery store to blame as it was evident they keep the juice in cool refrigerators. Bad Customer Service, Bad Product, Did Not Honor Guarantee. Avoid This Company unless you want to try your luck.

Company: House of Brides

My advices to all future brides "stay away from House of Brides in Glen Ellyn, IL". Going here for anything will just be a waste of time. I ordered for many dresses from there. I ordered for 6 bridesmaid dresses and my gown of course. Half of my bridesmaid did not receive their dresses. They were left without dresses just 2 weeks before the big day. I did not know what to do. I was getting panicky. When I called them they said that they did not know what they could do nor could they give me new dresses and they couldn't give me a refund.
I then called them again and they said they could not believe this happened coz it never happened before. And they told us to get it from elsewhere. It was our luck that we got someone else who could give us the dresses as soon as possible. We are not the only ones who got scammed I know they will be many more who will agree to that. Please do not waste your time. If you want to get tension, more than what you already have then go to House of Brides. Or go ELSEWHERE!!!!!!!!!

Company: Treasured Moments Bridal
Address : 80 Boardman Poland Rd, Youngstown, OH 44512, United States

Hi, I want to complain about Treasured Moments in Youngstown, OH. This is the most deceitful company I have ever come across. I had ordered my brides maid dresses form here. I had 4 bridesmaids. They told us that it would take quite some time to get the dresses shipped to my address. Well I really liked the dresses and had the time so I went ahead with the order.
After two weeks or so I called to know the date when my dresses would be shipped and they told me that I would get it 2 weeks before my wedding. I did not agree to that. If they have delayed so much it is a possibility that they will not deliver my dresses even after the day. I couldn't stay depending on them. So I told them that I would like to cancel my order and wanted my money reimbursed. They said that I wouldn't have to do that and that they would make it an urgent order and send it to me a month before my wedding. I found that quite ok and agreed to it. The day that I was supposed to get the dress was just around, so I called them up to find out the status. And they told me that the dresses did not come in yet. Every time I called them they told it would come in the next day. This is unacceptable. I had to go elsewhere to get my dresses. Please
do not go to Treasured Moments unless you got a lot of cash to throw away.

I have no protection this summer, the hurricane season, all because of Rolladen.

Company: Rolladen
Address : 550 Ansin Blvd, Hallendale, FL 33009, United States

Hi, this complaint is against Rolladen in Hallendale, FL. I had ordered for storm panels from them. I had ordered 15. They told me that they would come to install them in probably 14 to 16 weeks. Well now almost a year and a half has passed and they have installed only 5 out of 15 that I had ordered. They haven't told me yet when their installation will be complete. And the ones that they have installed do not function. When I call them they tell me that they did not measure right and they had to send all the panels back to get the right measure ones. And from the ones that they had got about 4 more were right but they used it somewhere else. They have kept all their installation stuff in my garage and made a mess there. When I tried calling their corporate office I did not get to speak to anyone. I have no protection this summer, the hurricane season, all because of Rolladen.

Just another rip-off!

Company: Penske Truck Rental
Address : 15212 Beach Blvd, Huntington Beach, CA 92646, United States

HI, I was moving to a new house in my neighborhood. I had moved half of my stuff that is the furniture and electronics via a moving company. There was a little stuff left back that I did not want to send via the movers like my wife's china, clothes, and a lot of stuff. So I decided to move them my self. I rented a truck from Penske Truck Rental that is located in my locality, Huntington Beach, CA.
I told them to come and drop off the truck at my old residence. I told them to drop it off in the morning at 9.30am because I had to get the stuff into the new house place them and leave for a party which came up suddenly. They assured me they would. But they were late. Anyway I got everything done somehow. The next day when I was returning the truck they had the inspection done and informed me that there were scratches and the rear view mirror on the left was broken. I told them that it was the same when I got it but they did not listen to what I had to say and charged my credit card. I will not use this rental company again. it is just another rip-off.

But they did not. I have complained to the BBB. Let's see what will be done next. I am not going to let them get away with this. They will have to pay for what they have done.

Company: O Street Aquarium
Address : 3000 O St, Sacramento, CA 95816, United States

Hi, there is this aquarium just few blocks away form my house which is in Sacramento, CA. it is known as O Street Aquarium. I love fishes and have to fish bowls. I always wanted to get a fish tank. But it wasn't in my budget as my allowance was hardly anything. So I always tried to suppress the feeling of getting one. So this birthday of mine was the best. My mother surprised me with a tank.
I was really excited. I went to the same store where she got it from that is O Street. I got the fishes and the stuff needed for a tank. When we were putting up the tank my mom and me noticed a crack on the tank. We decided to take it back. When we told them about it they said that it was not like that and that they would not refund or take it back. We had not even asked for anything like that. My mom told them we just wanted it fixed, so that there is no water seepage. They said ok and took the tank in. they took almost a month to get that crack fixed and were very rude to us throughout the month. We will never go back there. I will go to other aquariums were people respect customers.

Never buy through Verizon Wireless

Company: Verizon Wireless
Address : 15505 Sand Canyon Ave, Irvine, CA 92618, United States
URL: www.verizonwireless.com/

I visited a Verizon retail store in June to find out when our account was able to be cancelled. The employee told us September. 30, 2005. We waited to cancel. I opened a Cingular account (same phone #) on September 30th, and when I called Verizon afterwards to cancel our Family Share plan, I was then informed that I would be charged an early termination fee, $175 per phone ($350). Now I am told that we weren't able to cancel until October 30th. By now, my phone number was already ported over to Cingular. I was repeatedly told by customer service "I'm not sure why they told you that" (referring to the WRONG cancellation date). Yet, I was given no assistance in resolving this matter at all. After being told a supervisor was available to speak with me, later I was told there were none. When asked, I received no answer about when/where a supervisor could be reached. I was fully aware of the cancellation date we received from the Verizon employee, and based on that information we waited to open a Cingular account. I'm not sure why we were told September. 30th either, but I find it very troubling that a company such as Verizon would ignore such a concern from a loyal customer. I guess customer service figured I was leaving Verizon anyway, why not? What proof do I have?? So now I'm going to be stuck with a bill totaling over $350 for two phones and service that will not be used because of a Verizon miscommunication. I must say I may never buy through Verizon Wireless again, and I will most likely encourage those I know to do the same.
Are the termination fees in my case worth all that to a large corporation who values customers?

'100% Dis-Satisfaction Guarantee'

Company: Circuit City Stores, Inc
Address : 9950 Mayland Drive, Richmond, VA 23233, United States

I purchased a PDA from circuit city and was sold a 'Comprehensive Full Coverage Warranty' to go with it. The salesperson told me that it was a higher level coverage plan then their normal warranty plan and would cover my PDA if ANYTHING happened to it, including fire, vandalism, theft, etc. My PDA stopped working in August of 2005. I called to get it repaired/replaced and was told I would be receiving a replacement PDA. Instead I got a box to send my PDA away to their repair center. It came back with damage to the external case, and still not working-even though the repair center's web site said they repaired it. They claim there was liquid damage to it-but it was never exposed to any liquids while in my care. They refuse to answer why they damaged the outside case, or why they claim on their web site to have repaired my PDA. The circuit city customer support people have told me I would be receiving a replacement PDA, and that I would be getting a gift card so I can replace my PDA-I have yet to receive either. The circuit city customer support staff also claim my warranty is void because my PDA was sent off to their repair center, and also refuse to answer why my PDA sustained damage while outside of my care. What is the point of paying for a replacement warranty plan if they refuse to honor it and they damage your unit instead of repairing it? I have tried to talk to circuit city's customer support departmental the phone but they refuse to let me talk to a supervisor (they claim that the supervisors 'do not take calls') and they continually hang up on me. My PDA was damaged/ruined by circuit city and they refuse to make good on their '100% Satisfaction Guarantee'
If anyone has any suggestions where I go from here I would love to hear about 'them, because I am completely out of ideas!

UnderGround Access Is A Scam and also Extremely Degrading

Company: Underground Access

UnderGround Access Is A Scam and also Extremely Degrading:

The sponsors of these kinds of scam websites are hard to uncover, because they use porn websites that are for some ungodly reason protected by laws which allow them to legally operate thier businesses. The goal of these sponsors is to generate a small one time fee for the porn site as well as for themselves, and if you agree to thier terms, that enters you into a willfull agreement between them and you.

1st of all exposing yourself to porn itself is degrading in itself and takes away from your integrity in many ways, which are mostly spiritual. 2nd you support an industry that you may be against, but willing to suck-up to since it's only less than $5.00 and as it is advertised "then you are done with it", but in reality you have actually contributed and in addition to your contribution, you have become the receipient of a SCAM!

They will invite you to an interview and then you will take the "assessment".
You will also have to fill an application which you will include to important information details (1) Driver license number (2) social security number. Do me a big favor Do not include this information if you where unlucky and you did attend the open house.
It's a scam because after they have all of your information they will call you and they will say that your Resume is not good enough. I am wondering, you shouldn't take a look at the resume before you call some for an interview. Save yourself the time and do something more productive then go to an open house for a fake company

The above fee is for "Win-opportunity directives" available after I submit the required fee by Check - Cash or Money Order.

I recognize this as a scam but it will fool a great number of people.

The fact that they don't take credit cards puzzles me. I can only surmise that using a credit card would compound the crime.

Drive away FAST!!

Company: ProntoWash
Address : Northeast Mall, Hurst, Texas United States
URL: www.prontowashtexas.com

Prontowash is a total rip-off. I am not sure where to begin. Let's start with how they treat thier employees -

1. Work weeks average 65-70 hours (a good amount of that time the person is left totally alone so thus, no bathroom, no lunch, nothing)
2. No tax information filed, no contractor infomation filed, nothing. Working totally under the table.
3. Constant changing of procedures (daily, sometime more than twice a day, and changing major things like cash handling procedures)
4. etc etc

How they treat the enviroment/public safety
1. Multiple code violations (serious safety issues like daisy chaining marine batteries together right next to concentrated window cleaner which is HIGHLY flamable.)
2. Dumping chemicals like degreaser and above mentioned window cleaner into the street and grassy areas.
3. using serious chemicals like paint thinner ect without safety.

How they treat their customers
1. Double charging for work (knowingly)
2. Damage to paint due to improper use of chemicals
3. Damage to trim of car (door molding, plastic trim etc) due to not taking all the wax and stuff off because they are lazy.
4. Items stolen from car (laptops, cameras, phones, cash)
5. Shady business practice like taking customers car off mall grounds to a local gas station and running through a cheap and dangerous car wash then just drying it off and charging the customer for expensive wash.
6. Not doing what they charged for (not hand waxing, not shampooing etc)

In closing, this company is run by a total idiot that does not know a car wash from a hole in his head. I would not trust them to wash my shoes and there is NO way I am leaving the keys to my car with these tools. I would drive away as fast as I can from these guys.

Misleading

Company: Transforming Debt into wealth, John Cummata
unknown, United States
URL: http://www.tdiw.com/tdiw_v2_aboutTDIW.asp

I ordered that John Cummata course to download on my communter. I was perfectly satisfied at first with the material and learned quite a bit about how to pay down my debts. I spent several days excitedly reading and listening and I spent hours devising a plan using the ideas I learned. I then received a phone call from the company reminding me that I had a free 30 minute phone consultation that I had not used yet. I told them that I was working up my plan first. The guy asked my a lot of questions and spent at least a half hour with me before setting up my free 30 minute consultation.

When he called back a few days later, I had all my figures in front of me and my plan that I wanted to go over with him. He started asking me a lot of questions, some of which I had already answered a few days before, and some of which were a complete waste of time. Finally, near the end of my 30 minutes he told me how much debt I had total. This, of course I already knew. Along the way he had a really negative attitude and made comments like, it will take you YEARS to pay off your mortgage, and you don't even have a plan for retirement... He wasn't interested in hearing about my latest ideas that I had learned from the course. He then tried to get me interested in a mentor program. He wouldn't tell me how much it would cost. He said it wasn't his department. I asked him to transfer me to the right department so that I could get the answers I needed and he said "why should I do that for you? You don't sound like a person that wants to help himself." I finally hung up on him in frustration and exasperation. I felt so humiliated.

To make a long story short, I felt miserable for days after talking to this guy. I had bought the program and was very excited about it but now feel like they lure you in with their cheap downloadable course but then try to convince you that you can't do it on your own, that you need a mentor at the cost of several thousand dollars.

Go ahead and buy the course, (only the downloadable one, not the CD set) it is interesting information and some good ideas but don't talk to anyone on the phone. The 30 minute consultation is a sales ploy!

Very disappointed with this store!!!!

Company: Ababy.com
Address : 1958-59th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204, United States
URL: www.ababy.com

On 12/28/04 I purchased approximately $1200 worth of merchandise including a round crib and round crib bedding set. On the following day 12/29/04 I purchased a valance and curtains to match the bedding set about $75. I received the bedding set and checked it over very carefully it cost $400 and found several flaws on the fabric - one was a run and the other was an area that was sewed improperly and then re-sewed but it left holes in a very delicate fabric.
When I received the curtains, which were supposed to match the set but were only sheer white curtains (no matching design) for a high price, and no valance - but a pillow instead for which I did not order - I decided to send it all back together for a refund. They received it on 1/14/05 and I am still awaiting a credit. The crib came damaged, nearly every piece had problems and it looked as if it had a coat of primer and no paint. It is a white crib and should be painted white so you cannot see the wood through it. Many pieces had flaws or damage and I took pictures of all the pieces. I paid $85 freight and called to ask the company to come pick it up or give me a call tag.
They told me I would have to ship it back at my own expense. I explained nicely that the crib had damage to almost every piece and the paint job was horrible and that I just wanted them to return it and deal with the manufacturer themselves. They sent me an email today stating I would have to ship the crib to them at my expense and that if it came damaged, (which it already was from poor craftsmanship), I would have to make a claim to the carrier (either UPS or FedEx). I do believe that would be fraud.
I just wanted them to pick it up and credit me back the charges because the merchandise was damaged and not as advertised. They said the mattress wasn't damaged and so I would receive a merchandise credit only. This is not their return policy and since it was over $1000 purchase I must now pay my attorney to recover my expenses. Very disappointed with this store. Do they really think I would use a merchandise credit to buy something else after the email I received about returning the crib? I would never do business with this company.

Misled by Wal-Mart

Company: Wal-Mart Stores
Address : 7000 MARINA BLVD, BRISBANE, CA 94005, United States

I ordered nursery furniture crib, 3-drawer chest and a combo unit on February 27, 2003. I was promised shipment of the order by 3/23/04. I received the crib on 3/12/04 which was great.
After 3/23/04 passed I called to ask about the rest of my order. They said it was delayed. They never send an e-mail or called to let me know it was delayed. Then both items were promised by the 10th of March. I received the combo unit on the 12th of March. I opened the box and ever piece I took out was more damaged then the one before.
I called them on the 13th of March to get a replacement and to find out what happened to the 3-drawer chest. I was told that replacement would be on back order with no time of when to expect it and they didn't have any info on when the 3-drawer would ship.
I was just to upset with the misinformation and canceled the order on the 13th of March. I received an e-mail on the 16th of March saying the 3-drawer that I had already canceled was shipped. I called on the 17th of March and they promised the order was canceled nothing was shipped and I wouldn't be charged.
I called again on the 19th of March because I noticed a pending charge which was for the item they promised was not to ship. I called to complain and give the names of the customer service reps that gave all the misinformation. I was told I have to call ups myself and stop the shipment. Then once they got it back I would get my money back. Even though they said it was on back order and then they ship it out 3 days after it was canceled. It just leaves me with no dressers and my money tied up for their mistakes. I will never buy anything from such company.

HOW TERRIBLE!!!

Company: Wells Fargo & Company
Address : 420 Montgomery St, San Francisco, CA 94104, United States
URL: https://www.wellsfargo.com/

On 08/30/2002, I called Wells Fargo customer service to request for a new card to be sent to me since my old one had been damaged. I talked to a male customer service agent who asked what had happened to my card.
I explained to him that it had been partially bent while being processed with a manual card machine. He was quick to inform me that a new one was on its way. However, what he did not inform me was that he had cancelled my old one. Now, this was Labor Day weekend and this was the only way that I could access money from my account.
On Sunday 09/01/2002, I stopped at a famous fast food place to get myself a dinner meal. Can you imagine the shock on my face when the card was declined (after the meal had already been prepared!!)? I was about to die. Thank God I had a few dollars in my purse. So, I then decided to call the customer service desk again.
And what do I receive? "Sorry, there is nothing that can be done once your card has been deleted from the database. However, a new one has been sent out to you." Even after asking if this could be escalated further, I was informed that there was nothing else they could do.
Thank God that I was not traveling out of town for the weekend. Can you imagine what would have happened if I was out of town with no other way to get funds? Or if I had gassed up my car and was presented with a "card declined" message?
Yet the only thing that can be done is to have the customer service agent protected. I am sure there is a way that a supervisor can authorize funds for a customer in dilemma. But no, this particular one said that there was nothing the bank nor anybody could do. They don't bother about their customers. HOW TERRIBLE!!!

I've learned my lesson; I'll never buy from HHGregg again!

Company: HHGregg
Address : 4468 Eastgate Blvd., Cincinnati, Ohio 45245, United States

Approximately 4 years ago my husband & I purchased a Maytag washer to replace a 28 year old model & an Amana dryer. The dryer would not heat. A repairman came to the house decided it was defective. I was not happy with the Amana (obviously) so I changed to a GE. A year after the washer lost its warranty it broke down. After contacting Maytag they agreed to pay for the repairs.
In February, 2005 we purchased stainless steel stove, refrigerator & dishwasher from HHGregg. The next day it was delivered the fridge had a dent in the side which was not even brought into the house & was replaced the next day. When we went to use the stove the oven did not heat properly & a new one was brought out also. Shortly after the year warranty on the fridge ran out the icemaker quit working. The repairman stated that he had just repaired another like it so we contacted Whirlpool & was only charged for the labor not the part.
About 6 months ago the dryer (barely 4 years old) started making this loud noise but continued to dry my clothes! Then recently the washer started dripping water into the tub when it was not on & spewing oil on the floor. So like a fool I went back to HHGregg. Same salesman took a long time checking out washers & dryers on Consumer Reports.
Finally chose a Whirlpool Cabrio. After the delivery guys ran over my lawn twice the appliances were installed. The hot & cold hoses were backwards & the dryer was making a loud obnoxious noise just like the one I had replaced. The delivery guy said it was "normal" since it was cold outside. It was 50 degrees.
After several hours of listening to the noise, I contacted my salesman who also said it was normal. I finally called the store manager who replaced the dryer the next day. It's hard to believe that all these defective appliances end up at my house. Do you think I've learned my lesson; I'll never buy from HHGregg again!

I must admit their customer service is horrible

Company: Z Gallerie
Address : 1855 West 139th Street, Gardena, CA 90249, United States
URL: www.zgallerie.com/

I was very excited to find z gallerie. They had beautiful furniture at great prices. I found the perfect dining room table and paid cash in the store for it. I was told it was backordered for 8 weeks. That was fine. I ordered it on June 22. Eight weeks went by and no phone call. I called customer service and they told me to keep waiting. I waited. No phone call. I called back and by the time they had figured out what had happened it had been about ten weeks. They told me it had arrived but one of the legs was broken so I would have to wait for a new table. And it was still backordered. I really liked the table so I decided to wait. I thought I should get the next available, but I guess I went back to the bottom of the list of people waiting for this table because it took so long to finally get it. After being told the wrong time over and over, I finally got a call from the delivery company. I was ecstatic! The delivery company came to my house on time and everything, but when they were assembling the table they realized z gallerie had sent the wrong henges. They told me they could still put it together and it would be ok as long as I was careful with it. They ordered new henges and left. The next day I barely touched the table and it collapsed on me knocking me down. I couldn't move and had to immediately get to the doctor. 300 dollars later and lots of hydroquinone, I called customer service. They told me new henges were on the way and it would take 5-7 business days for a service technician to come out after I received them. They also told me after everything was said and done they would partially compensate me. My henges came and they were wrong again. I called customer service and they decided to send out two more sets, they said one of them had to be right.
When the delivery guys came out to assemble my table, none of the henges fit. They told me the table was defective. Customer service informed me the table was still backordered and I would have to wait. I asked
