I purchased the trial bottle for $3.95. After trying the product with no results, I tried to call the number listed [protected] on the order (which was bogus) and the number listed on my charge [protected] and was never able to get through. My card was then charged $89.31.
Could not locate a website and have contacted my card rep to dispute the charge.
They scammed me, they took my money and did not deliver what they promised. They promise to deliver within 24 hours or less. Its been 4 days now and i still haven't gotten it. I believe they scam their clients and only give them a little more than half of what they paid for, and then they will keep the customer waiting until the customer doesn't bother to collect it anymore.
Ive been going to their live chat, and all they tell me is the same thing over and over. But nothing ever happens, so here i am reporting them now.
I am pretty sure i am not the only customer that this has happened to.
I subscribed to a free trial, paying only shipping. In no way did I give permission to debt my checking account. Not only did they take $80.00 from my account the Only number they list is not valid.
I called 411 for the company at the given address and it does not exist. I am disputing this and will most likely have to close out my checking about and open a new one!
This company is a huge ripoff. For starters they offer a free 60 supply for $5 shipping. Now exactly what do you get for that $5 you get about $3 worth of Oolong Tea that you can buy at any Walmart or Asian store. It is nothing special just regular Oolong Tea. The other thing you get is bogus charges on your credit card, after two weeks they will charge you $59.95 for $3 worth of tea. Secondly their 'Partners' start charging you without your knowledge. Apparently the bury it in the agreement in a highly deceptive manner. So far we have been able to get the charges credited back after a half dozen phone calls and threats to call the Texas State Attorney General. Not only are they deceptive on the 'Partners' but what they are selling is also extremely deceptive.
Was sent a postcard stating my credit card would automatically be charged for a membership renewal to Great Fun unless I called the provided number and canceled. I don't remember signing up for the membership so I decided to call and cancel. Received a automated runaround to a recording stating that due to the high volume of calls, my call could not be processed please try later. Tried several times and received the same result.
On Trilegiant's website they listed their affiliates and all their phone numbers. Called Great Fun directly and was able to cancel the membership that way. If you are experiencing the same problem, please try the route that I took for satisfaction. www.trilegiant.com
I am keeping my fingers crossed that the membership was actually canceled.
In 2001 I worked for Ocwen as an REO Sales Manager and it was an utter disaster. I was charged with selling non-performing residential properties in a 9 state assigned territory across the country. In the six months I was there I watched as the company berated loyal employees who fought hard to stabilize the assets, get BPOs, hire brokers, list the properties and sell the assets in a timely fashion. Employees were rewarded with ever changing pay policies, unrealistic attainable goals resulting in no performance bonuses being paid out. I took note that a considerable amount of outsourcing was done to people in India and elsewhere and the company apparently managed both domestic as well as overseas employees to handle the sale of real estate assets. In 6 months I was able to move $2 million of properties at prices averaging 90% of appraised value typically within a 90 day timeframe. My reward was no bonus, a call from HR telling me to come to their office at which time I was terminated for vague reasons. This organization has no business in being charged with the disposition of ANY real estate held by bank-owned but now government held assets. My understanding is that it has gotten worse and the communication within and outside of the organization is terrible.
I believe that at this company there is a systematic plan to rip people off by 'losing' payments and delaying payments. This has never happened to me before in twenty years of sending payments to other companies (many) in the US mail but has happened twice in the last year with this company. Once with HSBC Business solutions (I was told by customer service that the payment must be 'lost in the mail') and once by Household Bank (a consumer account) took 11 days to post. And guess what? its the same company. The payment that took 11 days to post is sent to the same city that my sister lives in and it takes 2 days for letters to get to her (everytime!). Anyway it seems that it would be simple to statistically prove that an anomaly is present in mail being 'lost' and 'delayed' to this company (and all of its' branches) and not to other companies. It might also be possible to trace mail to the company or track a big population sample and see what happens. The company has a big financial motive to 'lose' or delay our payments and it is doing just that, we need to stop it and make them accountable for this!
On 11/2 I was shopping the internet for hotels on priceline.com, I had never logged onto the site. While trying out the name your price section of the site I was surprised to see that without my initials, the 3 digit code from the credit card that I was confirmed for a hotel reservation and my credit card was to be charged. My profile was in the system from a previous transaction a few years ago with them. I immediately called Priceline to find report this and got no help, sorry all sales final not once but twice.
I called the hotel to see if they could help me and in the conversation she asked me which reservation I was calling about, you see the Hotel has two. One was made on 10/31 and the one that had just been wrongly made on 11/2. When I went back and check email and accounts I see that there was indeed a confirmation and a charge. The same thing had happened to me had happened to my husband when shopping the site. Neither time had the proper data been entered, initial boxes checked, or the submit button clicked. I called Priceline again, and again I got no help.
When I went back to the Priceline site and tried to log off the site to be sure that this does not happen again I could not find a way to sign off. I had to go in and remove my credit card information. Which by the way took two buttons to confirm removal of the information. I guarantee that my family will not be using this site again.
I have since reported this to the Police as fraud and canceled my credit card as stolen as I feel violated. What else can I do to protect myself? What trouble have I caused myself by taking the step of canceling the car.
Today is 11/03/08, and I have been trying since the 16th of October to get someone to answer the phone, and as stated previously by others, this is a total ripoff. No one answers the phone, and I am contacting my credit card to stop all future charges. I should have known it was to good to be true.
Went to the Just Brakes today to ask about a simple worn pad change. They said it would fall under their $99.88 deal, but as they took the car in the manager stated that the pads would have to be specially ordered from the dealer and that my total went from $99.88 to over $240.00. Of course, I said no way, and had called the local Autozone to see if they carried them.
BTW, Autozone does have my Infiniti brake pads for $22.99.
Don't ever go to Just Brakes unless you enjoy being ripped off.
Last summer, at the KFC in town, my daughter and I went through the drive thru. We ordered two Twisters, some fries and drinks. There was a vehicle ahead of us. Their windows were not tinted, and thank God we were able to see clearly what transpired. We pulled around just as the people ahead of us were getting the food. I wasn't really concerning myself with their transaction, but I saw that they were handed a bag. The driver opened the bag, the passenger leaned over and went through the bag too. They removed the items and unwrapped them, presumably recognizing this wasn't what they ordered but checking to be sure. The Twister wrappers are shiny. I could tell that's what they were handling. Then they put them back in the bag and handed it back to the clerk through the window. They were soon handed another bag, and I could see they were verifying it was right this time. Evidently their order was correct because they then drove away.
We pulled up to the window and I said to my daughter, how much do you wanna bet that bag was supposed to be ours? Sure as ###, right after I paid and got the drinks, we were handed that bag. It was the same one. I knew what the mistake had been, but never expected that they wouldn't remake our order as a result. Such was not the case. It had clearly been handled and the contents handled. They didn't even bother to TRY to conceal that they were passing this food onto us. They didn't even bother to rewrap it or put it in a fresh bag - but I'm not complaining about that! I'm glad they didn't! It made it obvious to identify this was the same food we'd just watched the people ahead of us handle and give back. I was pissed that they would even try to serve us this same food, even if they weren't aware of what we'd witnessed. How disgusting! I raised my voice about being aware this food had been handled by the people in the vehicle ahead of us and to support this - I not only noted I'd seen it all happen - I pointed out how the bag was crinkled and the wrappers were loose! The manager came to the window and got involved.
You might assume they would at least try to lie and claim I was wrong. No! They admitted that they'd handed out our order ahead of us, but said there was 'nothing wrong' with the food. I was so livid, I threw the bag through their window, then I parked near the door and went inside.
The manager had her panties in a bunch and was waiting to confront me at the front counter. As if she had the right to be pissed at me! She yelled at me for throwing food in the window and I told her if she didn't give me my money back and pronto, she hadn't seen anything yet. I was equally pissed that they had taken my money knowing they were about to give me that bag of handled food. So getting my money back really wasn't even good enough, but to keep from going to jail for slapping the piss out of the snotty manager, my refund would do. But no. She had the nerve to give me a ton of ### about getting my money back. It wasn't like she was even offering to make us fresh food, which we would not have accepted, but she wasn't even using that approach. She felt that since I'd reacted the way I did, I had essentially made the choice to literally throw my food away, she was not responsible for the food or my money!
All of this combined had me utilizing every ounce of willpower within me not to reach over the counter and whup this woman's trifling ###. She was threatening to call the police because I was being 'violent' (having thrown the food) and cursing. That's right, I called you a nasty ### - ###, and guess what a smart nasty ### would do - she'd pay me back to keep her ### from getting hurt over this. The drive thru clerk, obviously having more sense than her manager, and acting of her own accord, approached with my money. The manager, acting like she was pissed at us both, huffed off. I reminded her one last time what a STUPID nasty ### she is, then I left.
Can you believe this?! It's no wonder their lobby was empty and there was no one behind me at the drive thru. They'll be out of business in no time.
I joined lifestyle fitness in June of 2007, I was told I had a year contract and at the end of the year I needed to write them and tell them that I wanted to cancel. In April, May, and June 2008, I wrote life style fitness to inform them I wanted to cancel my contract. I received no response and each month 40.00 was deducted from my account.
July and August and September they got 40.00 per month. October I went to my bank and filled out paperwork to place a stop payment on 'health club dues' so they would not get anymore money. Well, 40.00 came out under the name 'ASF International'. I finally got the contact information from the bank and asked what was going on.
I was told, I was supposed to write them, not lifestyle fitness whom I signed the contract with to cancel. I am not due any refund, and they don't know why all of a sudden the name changed to ASF International, when it used to be 'health club dues'. The employees that were my personal trainers, they're numbers were no longer in service.
I sent a letter and an e-mail to cancel my membership, and in the morning I'm going to send a fax, I'll see what happens next month.
My daughter, who is a senior at UMass Dartmouth in Dartmouth Massachusetts, works part-time at the school. She received a small paycheck for $60.00 recently and went to cash it at a Bank of America because the check was written from the University's account at Bank of America. My daughter does not have an account anywhere near the school. Bank of America charged her $6.00 to cash that check... even though it was written from their bank. I think this is lousy. I called them to check whether they in fact do this as a practice and the woman who answered said they do. I wish the school would deal with another bank, one that will not take advantage of students who are already poor enough... What a mean group banks have become... What do others think?
To Wal-Mart Canal Winchester Store Manger, Picture Me Studio Corporate Manager & Picture Me Experience Customer Service:
Due to the my recent experience, I am highly upset and agitated in regards to the treatment I received from your representative at the Picture Me Studio located in the Wal-Mart Super center store in Canal Winchester, Ohio. I have worked in customer service for some years now, so I expect the up most service when I am on the receiving end. The behavior of the Picture Me representative, Samantha, was rude, unhelpful, uninformative, and absolutely unacceptable. I am very upset and after some time I am still unable to forget this experience.
I attempted to call the customer service number though I was on hold waiting for a representative for over a half and hour. Due to my work schedule this solution seemed better suited for me. Although, I am still very dissatisfied and I expect a resolution to follow.
My boyfriend and I wanted to get a Christmas picture taken. His aunt also wanted to get a group picture including my boyfriend with her children. So we decided it would be better suited for us to do it all the same time. We called and made the appointment. When we placed the appointment we made not only one, but we scheduled two appointments. Nothing was said to us at the time, when clearly we all knew each other.
On December 2, 2007 we arrived for our scheduled appointments, your representative, Samantha, told my boyfriends aunt, Kathy to pick their background. Then a few moments later she asked me to the same. I couldn't choose so I just walked back to the portrait room with them. Samantha posed my boyfriend and her children. After a few pictures she said 'Is this going to be the promo picture'. We said 'Yes!' we liked it, at the time we knew nothing was to come from this decision. A few more pictures were taken of them and Samantha asks out of nowhere as if she were shocked I hadn't been in the room the whole time and she didn't see us all walk in together. 'Are you and him taking pictures next?' I replied 'Yes!' Not understanding the purpose of her question. She said 'Hold on a minute' and walks out of the room. She quickly returns 'I can't take your pictures next.' I again, confused replied 'Why?' she responds with 'Corporate only allows us one promo picture per group'. From this point on everything that she said she added 'Corporate says so' which I thought was highly unprofessional. It was also highly un-informative that she was not upfront with this information. I still do not understand why she waited until she locked in our promo picture to let us know it was one picture per group. She then convinced us it would be cheaper to take pictures in his aunt package. Unsatisfied, but with no other options we do so. I was very angry by this time and I feel that we were very misled. Your representative should have let us know all the catches to the fine print. We were all unaware of this in the beginning.
After some time past, Samantha called us to the back to look at the prints. We started looking at them and I then realized how expensive it was going to be to get my prints I need, the prints I would have received in my promo package. I looked at his aunt waiting for her to decide. She noted I only need one ten by eight. We tried every option we could think of because, I obliviously needed more pictures. Of course we couldn't change the promo picture to my boyfriend and mines picture because 'Corporate say so'. Infact, Samantha kept replying corporate will not allow me to, as if she were the victim. His aunt ended up cutting the promo picture because she did not need those pictures. We ended up getting a combine package spending of 79.99 plus tax. This could have been avoided, and was extremely unnecessary.
What I am still confused about today is, your representative Samantha, took our appointments together, saw us walk in together, saw my boyfriend in there pictures, knew we were next, and asked me to pick out a background for our pictures next. Yet never spoke one word about any regulations until after the promo picture was locked in.
I find this kind of uninformative service very distasteful and I hope you don't encourage this behavior. I understand the regulations, what I don't understand is not having Samantha trained enough to explain to your customers the regulations before taking pictures. If she had it wouldn't have been a problem at all. I would be happy because my boyfriend and I would have taken the promo picture had a package we needed and his aunt could have bought one eight by ten she needed. Though we were uninformed!
This brings me to another point I work in commission, I sure hope Samantha did not receive commission off of selling us this package because how many other customers has she been tricking. This can not go on she needs the proper training; your representatives represent your company. She did a very poor job and I will never use this portrait studio again nor will I indorse other people to do so. I work in customer service and I would have never treated a customer as if she had that day. She never offered any assistance to us and she only replied a hundred times 'Corporate says so'. I don't know if you Condon this level of service but it was totally unprofessional.
I ordered a one dollar trial size box of ivorywhite. I was sent the trail size box and additional box with it. I just assumed it was my one dollar box and then i found out that ivorywhite had charged $78.41 to my debit card. I called to have my money refunded and the woman on the phone told me that she could send gas rebate coupons instead of replacing my money. They simply stole my money and refuse to give it back.
I purchased a harness from in the care of dogs for my handicapped dog, . I was to receive $20.00 off---I then was told is was $20.00 off shopping essentials. Never received it but then yesterday I checked my bank statement online. I saw a charge for $11.95 from ap9healthplan.
I then found out through in the care of dogs that it was shopping essentials. Of course it was sunday and neither company was open. I am very upset right now.
I will be calling these people today--this is not the first time this as happened to me. I had to change my account no before through my bank because of scamming companies before. I do not know how they can do this.
I saw the Wu Yi Source on the internet and thought what a great way to loose the extra Kilos. I signed up for the free Trial (Joke) It was supposed to be $7.95US Postage and no obligation. When the invoice printed it was $24.95 US That was on the 17/9/2017 Then on 24/9/2017 They charged me $4.95 US Web Access Then 10/10/2017 they charged me $59.95 US For the so called free Trial. I tried to cancel and received emails from 5 different people. With the closing line have I answered all of your concerns, which none of them had answered any of my questions. The Terms and conditions that you print out when ordering seem fine, but when you question them they come up with a different set of Terms and conditions. I received an email on 30/9/2017 saying that they had canceled my automatic shipment and I would received no more shipments or charges (another joke) on 28/10/2017 They charged me another $4.95 US for Web Access and $9.95 US for Membership. I have since had to cancel my credit card. I have informed Consumer affairs and my bank about this complete RIP OFF. I would never have imagined that 60 useless Tea bags would cost me so much.
I have read all of the negative reports about this company 'Bluehippo'. I just found out about complaintsboard.com and feel that I should file one against these animals. Like everyone else, I've made well over the expected amount of bi-weekly payments and no laptop yet. Cant get them on the phone and when i do, they lie with a bull! Promise as usual. Cant seem to get a cash refund from them, so is there anyone out there pursuing a lawsuit for 'breech of contract'? Please let me know cause we need to stop these BAS!
In September I contracted for and had installed Dish Network High Definition TV. The picture never was in High Def even though I could receive certain channels that were supposedly in HD. I believed the trouble might be with my television and I would fix that when I had the time.
I disassembled my home theater (no small feat) to find the problem and discovered Dish Network's crack installer had connected the HD receiver outputs to my TV's standard inputs. After that problem was rectified I still had no HDTV. I discovered the installer had never programmed the receiver to accept HD programming, so I fixed the programming issue.
Yep, you guessed it! I still had no HDTV so I called Echostar, AKA Dish Network. I think the reason for the two names is to confuse people who know one or the other totally sucks. I was informed that the installer had never started my HD programming despite the fact that the dealer, Echostar and I each had a signed contract specifying HDTV.
I asked them to start it up but they told me I would need to buy a new receiver and sign up for 18 more months of their BS and pay twice as much for programming. I asked if everyone who had HD when I signed up had to change and pay more and was told no, that they still had the original programming at the original price.
Then the THIEF told me he would make me a 'special' offer because of the trouble. I could buy the new equipment at only $49.95, sign the new contract and begin to get the HD programming I initially contracted for. I checked their website and found that EVERYBODY got that offer. Man, I hate being lied to.
When I declined their 'special' offer they told me I could pay the additional price for the new programming, exactly twice as much as our contract stated, but only get the lesser number of channels of the original contract! Under no circumstances would they do anything to make up for their errors. They told me I was responsible because I didn't b***h soon enough.
I just want what I contracted and paid for. Hopefully because I have the signed contract and they never supplied the agreed upon service I can prove breach of contract in court.
Please avoid the troubles I've experienced. Google Dish Network's and Echostar's terrible customer service to see for yourself. They obviously count on getting new customers because with service like that they MUST be hemorhaging existing customers!
I was going through my bank statement online today and I saw two different charges of $19.95 from two different companies that I had never heard of. Then I thought if I had shopped lately because one of the charges was dated for today and the other one was dates yesterday and I had stayed at home during these two days and did not even use this card at all.One of the companies is Shopping essentials and the other one is AP9.
Then, I did a little research on the Internet on these companies and called their numbers that were on the transactions but could not find anyone to speak.Called my bank but their system was down temporarily so they could not help me.From what I understand, these companies are thieves who take away people's money from their account even without any authorization by the account holder.
What I don't understand is that people have been complaining about these companies for at least 2 years and no government agency such as FBI has not done anything about them. It is very weird.
We all need to file a complaint at Better Business Bureau to make these complaints official, so that they can investigate and possibly close them down with criminal charges. It is burglary and theft to take away money without our permission.How can banks allow them, I don't get it!
I was referred to Westgate by a friend who claimed that it was so great. It was supposed to be a 90 min presentation it wind up being 5 hours long. After feeling obligated by a little nice old salesman and his fast talking manager we purchased Got home and now have changed our minds. I am going to write 2morrow to cancel hope all goes well with canceling.
I agree with Jess's comments 100% Sleepy's cares about 1 thing $$$$ not people, not people lives but $$$ they claim financial hardships but the number of deliveries are the same? Hmmm doesn't make much sense does it.
They enjoy 'laying people off' if there is a slow week for them what sweet hearts. but wait they will hire you back if it picks up again! Lets not forget how everyone busted their ### for them during the tax free/back to school months where employees couldn't even take a break it was so busy.
Apparently the extra millions they brought in from that month couldn't hold them over for a couple slower then usual months. They should be happy to find employees that put up with their low pay, crappy hours and endless expectations and not try and cut a dollar out every time they find the opportunity to do so.
One more thing sleepy's next time you start your little 'cuts' start with the employees that were the last hired even if you do hangout with them out of work... THANKS!
I made several small charges that were on my on-line statement that weren't posted for a couple of days. I then made a mistake and made a charge that created an overdraft. It wasn't posted until AFTER the small charges and at that time I still had a positive balance.
Wachovia deducted $175.00 from my account for overdraft fees. They claimed that all of the charges went through on the same day and the largest one took all of the money, so all of the smaller ones were overdrafts. This was not true. The dates were clearly on my on-line statement.
I called the bank and they told me I had 60 days to pay my balance. I had $200 in a different account for automatic bill pay and wachovia transferred that money to my account that was overdrafted, causing my electric bill to be returned.I visited the bank and they told me that they had a right to transfer my funds without my authorization.
I later called a manager in their customer service department. He credited $50 back to my account and said that the electric bill hadn't been posted, there was just a hold and if I made a deposit before 2PM that day, there would be no overdraft incurred.
I made the deposit, but the electric company was notified that there were insufficient funds and I was charged an overdraft fee. I was also charged $25.00 by the electric company. When I called customer service back they told me I was ineligible for any corrective action.
I am a data entry operator and i have taken a project of offline data entry from a website www.365jobs4u.com and submitted my project on due date and in time, but its 15 days passed and i have received no response from them yet. I am so worried because the work i done was so difficult.
Third time this year BofA doubled my interest rate on cards I own. This one is the kicker though. Went from 14.9% @ $187.00 min payment to 27.99% @ $291.00 min payment in one billing cycle. Asked why. Response was because I did not opt out on the 'letter' I received in July.
I didn't get any stinking 'letter'! No late payments, great credit score (over 700) and bam! This should not be legal in this country! I will definately be interested in getting in on a class action suit against these loansharks. Am in the process of trying to negotiate my original interest rate with no success. Keep being put on hold and/ or transfered to someone else (phone tag) every time I call.
