iPod Sweepstakes - Low rewards
This site is similar to PhoneHog in that it allows a customer to earn points through completing offers and when subscribers get 1000 they are about to cash them in for a free iPod. Yet I have noticed that although I usually receive low rewards (5 point ones and such) I am never credited for the high ones. I completed 3 very night point offers True.com (140...

Bought a Sony GN999DS worth Rs30000 and was sent a display piece from the showroom at Vivek's, Indiranagar, Bangalore. Initially the staff were not willing to acknowledge the fact that they had cheated. They kept on saying that the piece was new but the way they got caught was that all the pieces (speakers/woofer/system) had different serial numbers. Plu...

Do not waste your time placing an order with this unethical company. I spoke to Vincent Gallo x210 then later Mike MacCormik. Both were extremely rude, essentially saying that I was an "idiot" and "needed to figure things out" because I wasn't taking their bait for the Upsell. In short, they list deals on their website that they don't actually sell. Once you spend the time placing the order they try to upsell you. SCAM!!!

In any case, my wife and I purchased the referenced MP 3 player for a friend going through chemotherapy for cancer to help alleviate some of the stress during these procedures.

I have had many GE appliances in the last 11 years, but after my experience in the last three years I will not purchase a GE model appliance again. A 6-year old dryer started chewing up clothes. When service looked at the unit, they said it is more cost effective to replace than repair. So I did. The Profile washer at 4 1/2 years old, started leaking water...
