Refusal to refund deposit! Complaint Rating: Company information: AdPockets Business Card Displays 2223 North Metcalf, Lima, Ohio 45801 Lima, Ohio United States Phone: 419 604 3245 www.adpockets.com I M from New Zealand. I was in the process of becoming a distributor for AdPocket's business card displays in my country. I have been dealing with Kyle Fultz who is the owner and creator of AdPockets. I felt that Kyle put quite a bit of subtle pressure on me to make payment for the products I ordered before Christmas. I could only manage a $2000 USD deposit. Another person from NZ was interested in working with Kyle and I, but as I was promised to be the sole NZ distributor for ADPockets, I was not that sure. I did eventually agree to it but sort of felt let down and manipulated by Kyle. In the end, I decided not to proceed with being a NZ distributor but still wanted to go ahead with an order for a smaller amount. Kyle already had the $2000 i wired him the week before. when i asked to change my order, still using the $2000 credit I had, he refused stating that I had "agreed" the deposit was non-refundable if I canceled. But I didn't cancel - I only wanted to change down my order. He is now refusing to give me back my $2000 (which is $2600 NZ Dollars) and will not answer my emails. I have even said I would be willing for him to take 10% to cover his costs and let me have the rest. He seems to be hell-bent on making me pay, yet I have nothing for my money! Think twice about dealing with this company as its owner seems very money hungry and greedy and is not ethical or honest!! I plan to fight this! Will let you know how I get on.

Hi Folks! I am giving you an update on the appalling standards that this company (AdPockets in Lima, Ohio) has set for itself. I found out that my complaint about the company's refusal to refund my deposit is one of 5 lodged between January 2007 & December 2007 with the Better Business Bureau (BBB).These complaints are all about the same thing: either refusal to refund deposit or non-delivery of goods paid for but not received! Also, records show that AdPockets has a history of not even bothering to answer the BBB or provide an explanation. Their response is TO DO NOTHING & TAKE THE MONEY & RUN!! The owner Kyle Fultz should be strung up on the nearest tree and whipped until he coughs up with all the money he has STOLEN from innocent Americans & foreigners (like me). His business ETHICS ARE NON-EXISTENT! He says I cancelled my order so therefore I am not entitled to a refund. What rubbish! I asked to changed my order (which he admitted he hadn't even started) so for doing this I have my money confiscated, like some naughty child! This is outrageous and I know that if I don't get my money back, Kyle Fultz and AdPockets will reap what he has sown - i.e. he will reap a harvest of misery for sowing GREED, SELFISHNESS, SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS AND MISERY. I look forward to that day when he will reap all this & more. Actually, AdPockets is going to be investigated by Marc Dann the Ohio State Attorney for REPEATEDLY FAILING to practice ACCEPTABLE & ETHICAL trading in the state of Ohio.

DON'T TOUCH ADPOCKETS WITH A BARGE POLE! YOU WILL ONLY GET BURNT. STAY AWAY & CHOOSE ANOTHER BUSINESS CARD DISPLAY COMPANY - THIS ONE STINKS!!!

HERE IS THE RELIABILITY REPORT THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU HAS ON FILE ABOUT ADPOCKETS BUSINESS DISPLAYS: THIS IS A VERY BAD REPORT!

NAME; ADPOCKETS ADDDRESS: 2223 NORTH METCALF, LIMA OHIO 45801 PHONE 419 604 3245

Customer ExperienceBack To Top Based on BBB files, this company has an unsatisfactory record with the Bureau due to unanswered complaint(s). Complainants allege non delivery of merchandise even though payment in full has been made, difficulty in obtaining refunds and difficulty contacting the company.

When evaluating complaint information, please consider the company's size and volume of business.The number of complaints filed against the company may not be as important as the type of complaints and how the company handled them.

The Bureau processed a total of 5 complaints about this company since the firm's BBB file was opened in January of 2007. Of the total 5 complaints since the firm's BBB file was opened in January of 2007, 5 of those were closed in the last 12 months.

Complaints Concerned Delivery Issues: 4 Outcome of all complaints - No Response: 4; |[Company failed to respond to the BBB to resolve or address the complaint issues.]| Refund or Exchange Issues: 1 Outcome of the complaint - No Response: 1; |[Company failed to respond to the BBB to resolve or address the complaint issues.]|

Additional File InformationBack To Top
The Bureau has requested basic information from this company. The Bureau has not received a response. Without this information, the Bureau may not have current information concerning such things as the company's management or its nature of business.

The information in this report has either been provided by the company, or has been compiled by the Bureau from other sources.

As you can plainly read, AdPockets makes money by stealing money from trusting business people. They have a seedy policy of insisting their customers NOT use their credit cards for payment, because they know they will use the CHARGE BACK option when they inevitably become disgruntled & dissatisfied.

If you choose to deal with AdPockets, you DO SO AT GREAT RISK OF LOSING MONEY - NOT MAKING ANY MONEY. This company should be SHUT DOWN PERMANENTLY!!

I have read the complete email transcipt contacted the company, they are in the right and I found them very open and up front. I also discussed the BBB ratings which are being ajusted ( they just did not respond so the went unsatisfactory by default )
