I know that this is a scam, any real contest does not ask the winner to send money to go towards the cost of handling and processing winnings. There must be something that can be done to stop these people as many people who are not well off and receiving such a letter would fall into the trap. How they get addresses I am not sure as I live in England!! This should be reported to the police in the local area of King St. read full review »

We bought a Bayside Play center at Canadian Tire. He had to wait at the store for over half an hour before anyone could locate this product. When the stock boy brought out the product my husband told him it did not look like the right one. The stock boy assured him that it was the right one and he had double checked the item numbers. My husband proceeded to pay $1, 199 for the product and drove it home. As we looked at the boxes, we discovered that we were given boxes from two different play centers that did not match, and neither one wa... read full review »

I purchased some extension hair on www.SimplisticPleasures.com. They charged me for 3 packages, and when they came, we installed the hair, and it all tangled, got matted and started to shed within hours. They wont reply to my emails.

I now have to purchase hair elsewhere and pay someone to fix my own hair. That company is a disgrace. read full review »

I received a letter today saying I had won $250, 000 in a shoppers sweepstakes. Along with the letter was a check for $4975 of which I was to do nothing with before notifying them.

I just received their most recent scams, and I found this site before I did anything, luckily for me. This most recent attempt is a check from Custom Design, LLC, in Litchfield, CT. The bank is First National Bank of Litchfield. The amount of the check is still $4750.00, and the contact is the same, Brian Scott. The tax agent is now Ginger Perry. People need to stay vigilant and keep the public informed when something like this changes, so the rest of us won't get scammed. read full review »

I was given a quote on building material (a lift of framing boards) and promised a delivery date, then the price was changed by .58 a board and the promised delivery would be delayed by two weeks which would cause all other trades to be delayed as well resulting in a great deal of expense.

I have had a few less costly and one very costly experiences with the brick I bought two very expensive recliners, about 1, 000.00each after 3 months the mechanisms where shot. I am not a big person and since they where only used by my husband and myself they did NOT take any rough use. I called to have a service man come to the house, which took months, the mechanisms where eventually replaced by just as bad crap which only lasted again a few months. By this time the Brick claimed the one year warranty on these barely used pair of chairs wa... read full review »

Joining internet dating services are probably better and less expensive then joining a personal matchmaking service.

I received a short letter and a check from the company Russell Investment Group., from Bank of the West in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. Following the instructions in the letter, I called the number given and It was explained to me how the mystery shopping was to be done, by a James at the call center at the number given. I have experience in mystery shopping and it was never done like this. When I got to my bank I asked the manager to check and to see if this was legitimate or fraudulant. After about 15-20 minutes with her investigating through Bank of the West, it was found to be fraudulant! Not too surprising! But PATHETIC! read full review »
