This is my actual response to the email Saveology sent me regarding my recent application:

Dear HR Support,

This email is actually quite amusing! I waited 2 hours and left because no one had assisted me and my interview time had come and gone.

I arrived at my scheduled 2:30pm interview at 2:00pm, passing up other opportunities to interview to make sure I attended your interview as I had already confirmed my meeting with Susan. I arrived early and no one even acknowledged my existence. I was one of 4 individuals sitting there while NO ONE attended the front desk, and simply waited.

After about 45 minutes of waiting I decided to call the 866 number I was directed to call for an interview initially. Finally someone came out, pointed to a stack of applications, advised me to wait for my interviewer and walked away. I left the office at 4pm after having been in the waiting room for almost 2 hours without so much as an "I do apologize, we are running a bit behind."

I PASS on the idea of working for a company that shows such a lack of respect for a person's time or the courtesy of rescheduling for a time when you can ACTUALLY meet with a potential employee. I will pass this information on to others who may consider your company for employment.

I am appalled by your company's interviewing process. I could only imagine the horrific attitude that must be experienced by your employees.

Hello:


It was a pleasure meeting with you to discuss our Inbound Sales Rep opportunities.

I regret to inform you that we have decided not to extend you an offer of employment at this time. We met with many qualified people and the decision was not easy.


I wish you much success in your future endeavors.

I signed up for Comcast (Internet and Cable) through this company, who promised a $150 cash card as a rebate. I know that rebates are very specific so I followed the instructions VERY CAREFULLY. Months went by and I never received the cash card. I know they probably bank on the fact that many will forget and not follow up with them. I called them and they told me that I didn't fill out my paperwork correctly...I KNEW that was not correct. I had copies of my paperwork and asked them to tell me what I filled out wrong. They told me my forms specified that I signed up for Internet and Cable, but that the records from Comcast showed that I signed up for a "Triple Play". Of course, I never signed up for Triple Play, my Comcast bill and installation papers showed that was not the case. So I called Comcast and they said my account never showed anything about Triple Play. So Saveology was completely lying. They told me it would be a few weeks and they would send me my cash card.

Basically, I have now called 11 times over the past year (the $150 rebate is now 1 year late and still not here!), about every two weeks for the past 3 months. Each call I receive the same line, "Your rebate is in final approval and you should have it in less than 2 weeks." Well how can that be the case for a year???? After 11 calls and 1 year without receiving anything (after being assured it is coming on EVERY SINGLE phone call), I am convinced they don't send any rebate/cash cards. IT IS A COMPLETE SCAM!

DON'T SIGN UP FOR COMCAST (or others) THROUGH A THIRD PARTY REBATE CENTER!!!

Saveology promised $300 rebate if you get Verizon Triple Play through them. After 3 months, it sent a certificate to register to www.claimyourgroceries.com. After asking for personal information (in a very shady and an unsecured website), it asks for your checking account to pay a hidden $10 fee to complete the registration.

I was told when I got the triple play services with comcast that i was going to get a $ 200 mail in rebate, I call this company many many times for a year and a half and still nothing one excuse after another until i got tier of calling and calling, BIG SCAM to bad for comcast I cancel services...

I just wanted to alert folks to another *potential* scam by the sponsors of Saveology, a sweepstakes targeted at students to win a $5000 scholarship. "If it's too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true" is the maxim to be employed.
