Shopping Essentials
I had a 9.95 charge show up on my bank statement. I have never heard of this company. After finding the rip off report on them I called the company to have the charge reversed. The girl said she got a confirmation from my email address, for the membership, I then told her that her company has reports all over rip off report and they reversed the charges right away. Let them KNOW that you KNOW they are a scam!!!

Swiss
We were flying on a family holiday (LX435 London City to Geneva) on 19th Feb 2011. On the way to the airport we received a text (SMS) message saying that the flight was cancelled. We called and were told we would be rebooked on another flight (not direct) that took us from Heathrow to our destination via Frankfurt arriving 9hours later than we had expected. As a direct result we had incurred considerable extra expense (taxi to and from City Airport) plus a rebook and surcharge in Switzerland for the transfer then. We have supporting receipt... read full review »

Institute Of Technology
I am here to let people know that the Institute of Technology in Clovis, CA is by far the biggest rip off I have ever been through.
I took the Web and Graphics course and after being there for over a year which actually should have been 6 months, I did not learn one thing I didn't already know. Considering I had only been working with Web and Graphic for less than a year before attending the school.
I will have to say my instructor Denis Lewis was about as dumb as a box of rocks. Good artist but Plain brainless. And his number... read full review »
TradeMic.com
TradeMic advertises itself as a "middle-man' or ESCROW company between the customer and the seller keeping the money until all parties are happy, this is not the case. I bought some Apple Ipods that turned out to be fake, i sent them back to the seller and they never returned my money neither answered my emails... DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM, i lost $500. ... All they sell is Clone electronics and advertise as real (at least at that time) read full review »
EMS Speed Post
My family posted an envelope of highly important documents by EMS Speed Post. A week gone, and no trace of it. When we checked the online tracking system, the message we got every time - "Delivery information is not available at present. Please try again later." And when we call the GPO, the postman is as ignorant about it as we are! So in this so called Age of Communication and Information, we can't do much more that wait and pray!
If this is the condition, when it comes to emergency, whom do we bank on... Advise smb! read full review »
Webroot software
I purchased webroot and loaded it on my computer. When I tried to clean up after the sweep, the system reuired a renewal fee in spite of the fact that I had just activated and installed it on my computer.
The (free #$%) technical support has a 30 minute que with a sarcastic message that comes in and tells you that you need to pay to get immediate support.
I will never buy WEbroot again.
Still in the que. read full review »
Jerome's Furniture
Two months ago I bought a twin extra long pillow top mattress from Jerome's furniture on Morena Blvd. in San Diego. The sales person convinced me that I should have this fancy Diamond Clover Twin bed set with a plush top. He said it was a great mattress for side sleepers like myself. Well in less than two months time the mattress has softened to the point were it gives poor support. I wake up with chest aches and back aches and have to take ibuprofen to be able to function and not be in pain. I called the called the customer service... read full review »
Mr Transmission
On May 29th 2006, I called several Transmission place to get a quote on my repair, I contacted Mr Transmission in Ft Walton Beach Fl, Only to hear them slamming another company that I went to as for example, They will over charge You, Won't work right, and a THIEF. I therefore decided to go with Mr Transmission due to the fact I'm from Sioux Falls South Dakota.
I brought my vehicle to McGee shop for them to test drive it and take a better look at it only to get a phone call back saying it will cost me anywhere from 1600-1800... read full review »
Pdlnow.com
Not only did I get forced into only what I got approved for($200) not what I ask($100) but going on this website had every other loan company calling me and emailing me. When I tried to get some answers on even knowing the interest they kept telling me to wait til I hear from someone. The were very unprofessional and every answer they gave was from a script they kept repeating. I dont feel safe with this website having my information and looking into investigating them. Beware! read full review »

Reliable Paper Inc
Placed order for pizza boxes based on a photo (next to the description) of a stack of WHITE CORRUGATED boxes and a general description of the item as simply "white pizza box" 16 x 16 x 2.
When item arrived it was a totally different item (flimsy white chipboard box) than what was shown.
When I called customer service I was told "if you read our return policy you'll find a section at the bottom that states that the photos are stock photos from the suppliers and sometimes they aren't accurate. If you want to... read full review »

Castlerock Security
I purchased my home security system August 11, 2006 from APX alarm. I should have know right of the bat this was a bad idea. The sales people were very pushy and required a signed agreement that day with installation that day.
Finally, after three long years we completed our contract obligations. I call on August 22, 2009 to cancel my subscription. To my surprise I was told I've already been enrolled in an additional 1 year contract since I didn't send a written letter 30 days prior to my original contract termination date.

Lease Financial Group
I signed a 60 month lease for a credit card terminal with this company in July of 2003. In August of 2008, I contacted Lease Financial Group and spoke to a customer service representative regarding the process for terminating our lease and returning the credit card terminal back to them. We followed the directions given to us and shipped the leased equipment to an address in NY, NY. The customer service representative stated that one final payment would be deducted from the business checking account within 30 days of receipt of the terminal... read full review »

Swiftcover Insurance
In January 2006, as I entered a roundabout & continued around in the correct lane, with the indicator flashing, a lorry on my inside proceeded to cut across into my lane & slice the front off my car. I was in such a state of shock! I could not believe it! The lorry continued on its journey, until the driver saw me in his rear view mirror flashing my lights. At this point, he pulled over & proceeded to give me his very brief details & drove away as fast as he could, leaving me stranded far from home. My car, a total right... read full review »

Lighting Universe
Echoing the sentiments of another reviewer: SHOP HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK. I recently ordered a set of lights from here but due to a confusing interface ended up getting the right model but the wrong finish. When I tried to rectify the mistake they wanted me to pay to ship back the product and charge me a 15% restocking fee. I finally relented but then my e-mails where ignored.
I called after not receiving a return e-mail after several tries. Turns out they have a 30 day return policy. Even though I had contacted them within a week of... read full review »
Motormaster
My car brokendown on road and I was suggested to go to nearby Motormaster, Leatherhead by RAC. They told me to replace the radiator for £273 and after replacing it got the news that I have overheated the car and blownup the headgasket in the Engine which would cost me around £1500... I was shocked and also smell something fishy, I bring my car back with the help of recovery service and showed it to local mechanic and come to know that everything in the engine was perfect, no need to spend a penny. when I asked for the old my radiator they told me that they have thrown it away, , wiped out the proof. read full review »

Doubletake studios called about 4 weeks ago and told me my sister-in-law had given me a free gift to have a makeover and photo shoot so I thought that was nice, so I took it then after a few days after I was at home with my cousin and a call came through and he wanted to book a date then he said he needs a £2.00 booking fee and I got weary because of what my cousin said to me that I must be careful because it may not be free so I said to you are only taking for only this amount and only this was to be take and they will not take no more... read full review »
Webbeautystore.com
I ordered a waxing kit from this company because their pricing seemed more competitive than other sites. The kit came with a wax warmer which required wax beads (which were supposed to be included in the kit). When it arrived, the bag of wax beads had been removed and replaced with a tin of wax which was made for a larger warmer. I couldn't use the tin since it didn't fit the warmer. After two emails to the company (there is NO phone number provided on the website, that should have been a red flag!), no reply, and no replacement. Now I have a useless kit and am out $129. DO NOT BUY from this "company." read full review »
Waterloo Nissan
"To take our customers to an unprecedented level of satisfaction - Therein lies the success of Waterloo Nissan and its employees."
...Ian Murdoch, President
that statement is the biggest joke in the car dealer industry
and here's one example as to why;
I purchased my truck in Nov/07 for 20K and a 2001 Pontiac Sunfire trade in.
less than 2 weeks later, I had to bring it back to Waterloo Nissan for items overlooked during the Safety Inspection;
1. parking brake not operating
2. severe alignment... read full review »

Onlypuma.com
I already had my doubts when I visited the website, but they were the only site that had the particular shoes that I wanted, so I decided to give it a try. Found three pairs that I loved, but ordered only one pair to see how things would go. I could always order the others if the delivery went well.
Long story short: this site is definitely a scam. I ordered the shoes over a month ago (on April 4th 2011), their contact form doesn't even work and the mails I sent directly to [email protected] are just ignored (no reply to any of them in a few weeks).
My money is gone, don't order from this site. read full review »
Cuisinartwebstore.com
A company that is not consumer oriented in the least! When a replacement part was ordered (with belief it matched model on food processor bowl) . There was no accomodation for a return that necessitated being returned later than the 30 days (five days late due to hospitalization and medical needs of purchaser). Anyway, repeated contact resulted in idiotic replies like; "return item as per directions on shipping site" It had already been returned. and "You will have to send us your previous email, we cannot find it". Service got... read full review »

Clothing
I ordered clothing from Haband, and received them OK.
I checked my bank statement and the amount I authorized as Ok, but
also seen on my account that $1.97 was withdrawn to the company of
Haband Perks without my permission, I let that pass until I resently saw that $14.98 was withdrawn on 6/20/2009 to Haband Perks
without my authorization.
I sent an e-mail to the Company and got no results, now I want to have monies redeposit to my account, and I am no longer going to purchase any more items, and will let my friends know that is happening.

Order a product from site on April 25. paid for faster delivery, 3-6 business days. After that time period I called several times, operators were always busy and was encouraged to leave a message, never able to speak to real person. Emailed several times and it was only when I posted a negative response on their feedback site did I recieve an email apologizing for the delay. Made excuses and said on May 4th it would be shipped out immediately... it is now May 13th... still no product. read full review »
Regis
REGIS AT LONGVIEW MALL. I used to like this place. However when I came there to cut my hair last time there was an afro-american lady who just didn't get how to cut my hair when I had to expalain to her over and over again but still she couldn't understand. Then whithout any reason SHE CALLED ME STUPID and I just had to leave that place whithout a haircut. What kind of place is that where customers are called stupid? The lady's name is Tany or Britany. I defenitely won't recommend her.

We are owed over $27, 000.oo from usm for snow removal, dates starting back to December 3, 2010 and ending March 7, 2011. They keep prolonging this process now for weeks and months. USM keeps sending back work orders they say are wrong, we fix them and send them back. All the invoices that are correct from January, February, and March still aren't being payed. This same process happened last year and they refused to pay us $7000.00, that was owed to us for work that we had done. We keep getting further behind because our money is not... read full review »
Webster Bank
My wife and I opened an account at this bank a couple of weeks ago. We reviewed the banks funds availability and felt we had everything down pretty well. Boy were we wrong! We made a deposit through the ATM machine. The receipt showed the amount which became available and we took the bank at it’s word via the receipt. Well apparently the bank changed its decision once it processed the deposit and made the funds available. However, they never notified us. Because of this change, the bank considered all of the transactions we made to... read full review »
