A Wireless Center
Be wary of people calling your cellphone claiming to be from your service provider and offering to upgrade your phone packages. They may actually be independent dealers trying to make a quick buck.
J.P. got one of these calls, and growing suspicious, she asked the lady to verify how many text messages she had sent in the past month. The caller was unable. J.P. hung up and called the number back on her caller ID, a woman at a wireless store at the local mall picked up.
I received a call from someone claiming to be... read full review »

New internet companies have sprung up over the years, but not always a good sign. Many of them are scams waiting to rip you off by not delivering what you paid for.
In the past, the scammers tried their luck on eBay, and other online trading sites. Some were caught and tried in the court.
If you see a new online company selling goods at prices that is too good to be true, it probably is. Be wary of such shady sites and do not believe in any testimonials or google search etc. These guys are smart, as they know most online shopper... read full review »
Craiglists
As always, be careful when you received a check that is more than what you asked for.
A couple of times, Roy and Ellie Goodbread suspected they were being scammed. Why, they wondered, would the woman buying their Jeep off Craigslist send them $1, 100 more than the settled price? And why did she trust them to wire the difference to the South Carolina shipper picking up the vehicle?
They put their fears aside when a cashier's check arrived last month from Citibank with what appeared to be legitimate watermarks and a perforated tear... read full review »

They send fake checks, and they ask you to send the money to newspapers that don't exist. Then you get nailed for passing bad checks and they keep the money when it arrives.
It's a convincing scam because:
They don't ask for much info, just mailing address and email.
They don't promise incredible money or get get rich quick ideas, just 400 to 800 a week.
They have their own website and will answer your emails. read full review »
Operaen Buy Domains
In the recent months, there have been several reports of domain name scam from someone called "Jon Hegglund". In summary, they will ask you for the domain price and thereafter ask the domain name to be appraised by a domain name appraisal service of their choice...
Ofcourse, the domain name appraisal team belongs to the same person, and you will be paying him to appraise the name he is going to buy. And ofcourse, he won't buy your expensive domain name because he just want you to pay him money and not the other way... read full review »
Thomas Bruno Imhof Photography
Thomas Bruno Imhof showed up at our photo shoot 2 hours late and offered no excuse. When we told him his service was no longer needed he flipped out and started yelling and making threats. Stay away from this man and do yourself a favor, make sure you check online before you hire anyone. If i had i would have seen the other complaints about him and not hired him. I found out from these other complaints that he's a real bottom feeding Sc?!Bag!! read full review »

EngineSeeker
I purchased an ad pack in October with engineseeker from an account manager that had been there for several years I had a very good business relationship with him and he helped me with several smaller marketing packages. He said if I spent 1200 bucks and used their service, which meant shutting down my account with my other marketing campaign provider that he would do whatever it takes to keep me happy if my web activity dropped, i.e. give me free fast traffic etc. Well less than 6 months later I am seeing a decline in my website activity I... read full review »
Jillian Michaels
Former Biggest Loser Jillian Michaels is also a big liar, according to a class action lawsuit that calls a Michaels-endorsed diet supplement worthless.
The complaint quotes Michaels'swebsite, www.jillianweightloss.com,

Door-to-door
Vulnerable seniors, who spend the majority of their time at home, are perfect targets for the mobile scam artist. Smooth-talking fraudsters can convincingly get themselves invited inside to deliver any imaginable sales pitch for products or services. Common among these are the home repair, door-to-door scams.
Home repair scam operators appear unannounced at the home and then proceed to "discover" one or a series of "defects" with the house, from shoddy roofing, to cracked driveways, to dangerous electrical wiring or plumbing... read full review »
Coin Con
You are approached on the street by a scammer who is quite adept at faking retardation. He comes up to you with a packet of old coins labeled Reward! Please return to Dr. Williams, Numismatist 453-5674
Seeing as the street-person does not have the facilities to call, yet insists on trying to hand you the bag, you call the number. A person answers ( a shill ) who, surprised and thankful when you call and fully explain why you are calling, offers a $700 reward along with directions to return the coins.
He simply asks that you be good enough... read full review »
Tow-Truck
This breakdown scam has been attempted on my husband and I a total of four times in our small city. The first time was to me and I knew it was a scam, but I am a small woman and was alone so I gave the guy $10 just so he would go away and hopefully leave me alone.
Several months later one got my trusting husband then a couple of months later, the same guy tried to get him again, but of course, my husband was wiser.
Just a few days ago, someone tried it on me again. He barely got started when I told him "No, others have tried thi... read full review »
Twisted Bet
I have been street scammed twice with the first happening a few years ago when I was 17 and working for an upscale doughnut shop selling pretzels. On my morning shift, when the place is not so busy, an guy about fifty in a tacky suit came in, bought a pretzel and a soda, and spoke to some of us employees in a friendly manner, I think in an attempt to garner trust.
Then, about an hour later while I was out giving away samples to people walking the street he came over and questioned me about who I was and what I did. He complemented me on my... read full review »
US Postal
A collaboration between US Postal Inspector and police from other countries resulted in the arrest of 77 scammers involved in fake check scams.
"While 60 people were arrested in the Netherlands, 16 in Nigeria and one in Canada, victims of these scams include South Carolinians."
Note that fake money orders are also included. As we have always said, always cash the check and money order and ensure that the money is IN. Until then, it is just a piece of useless paper. read full review »
Fix and Fit Security
We have had to call Fix and Fit out five times now in the past five months. The motorised gate does not open after it has rained. And the previous four times Fix and Fit came out to 'repair' the problem and every time they advise that there is another fault, yet the same problem still persits. And every time we have to pay for whatever they replace and often a call-out fee. We have mentioned this problem to them and voiced our dissatisfaction with their service when we had call out number four. Yet, it fell on deaf ears. read full review »
Smooch.com
The site is run by complete amateurs written in an out-of-date programming language. The splash screen says copyright 2010 but inside it says copyright 2006. The badly created CSS which is written by Jeff and has so many mistakes in it plus the endless site bugs it has. For example they have rules where you can block age range or smokers, add that user as a favourite and you can contact them. The chat messenger that doesn't work correctly, the search doesn't work if you copy/paste but does if you type it in.

Bedroom Depot
I bought and paid for beds and box springs (Matching set) on Apri 11, 2010. They did not have the Box springs in stock but assured me they would be in in a week. One week led to two etc.
Andrew, the manager, told me that the box springs would be in on Friday May 7 or they would upgrade the box spring to a better quality one.
Friday arrived and I was told they would be in the store and available for pickup around noon on Saturday May 8. Arrived at noon, no box springs. I was told the truck bringing them would be around 3pm. Iarrived... read full review »
Whiz International
Whiz-International LLC is posting false requirements and taking the resumes. Once they take the resumes they are using the phone numbers to do other business like amway etc. they keep calling to join this business. I am afraid that these people may utilize the resumes for some other purpose. They do have some other companies called neilglobalstaffing. They keep calling from numbers like 214-680-2393. 551-200-5894. They say that they have more than 40 requirements with one of the financial client in New York. All these these are fake things. to... read full review »

Sportskids
I purchased a pair of Raiders earrings from sportskids.com for $9.99. When receiving the item, the earrings were too big for my sons ear so I wanted to return them for credit. I purchased several other items that I was happy with, but the set of earrings were just too big and looked silly on my sons ear.
For an item purchased under $10 sportskids.com charged a restocking fee for the return as well as insisting that the return be made via UPS freight only so the package could be traced. With the restocking fee of 15% and the cost to send... read full review »
Jahn Electric
Needed to have a bracket re-installed on side of garage that held a non-electric power line that was pulled out when a tree limb fell on the wire. It required drilling two holes and putting in 2 new screws in the existing bracket that was still in tact. He quoted us $307.00 + $59.00 for the service call to do a 15-minute job! He jacked the price up because it was cold outside & he didn't want to mess with it. We paid him $59 for Service call and sent him on his way! Called the company twice that day to speak to manager.

PriceGrabber
PriceGrabber and their vendor just ripped me off on the purchase of an electronic device, a Sirius boombox. I purchased the unit after searching Pricegrabber, it arrived and did not work, I notified the vendor and he ignored my request for a refund. Pricegrabber recommended that I contact the vendor again, I was ignored, and then suggested filing in their Fraud protection system which is an absolute joke.
Pricegrabber is a member of Better Business Bureau but has vendors who have F rating and I got ripped off by one. Further, Pricegrabber... read full review »
TCP Painting
My husband used to work for this guy, david ritchie, at tcp painting in seattle. The last time he worked was about the beginning of November. For a couple of months before the paychecks were getting shakey, days, even a week or two late. He worked the first week of Nov, and on December 23rd, this owner guy was PISSED that we wanted my husbands check before christmas!!!

Once we have received your completed application, we will call you if you are a qualified candidate for the position." OR "Please take this free IQ test to be considered to employment."

Um excuse me arnt the touch ups suppose to be included when you are way over charged for having the work done in the first place. I have never been so beside myself.

I would like to let anyone who is thinking about purchasing from IngenuCode know that they sell bootleg copies of DVD'S. Yes I posted earlier on the same subject butI did think it went through that is why I am posting again (sorry).

all over it with mis matched paint. How can a company be allowed legally to operate such unsafe cars in this line of business? I wish I just did my home work to see ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS COMPANY ! They even try to defend themselves from all... read full review »

We recently had to replace our bulb that we ordered from bulbsoutlet.com because it had went out about ten months after purchase. They told us it would still be under warranty but we would have to ship back at our cost. Ok, no big deal except when we get the bulb back it won't go in the TV because of no housing. This is the way we received it..that's why we sent it in. However, after 3 emails and 3 calls they inform me that they will not send us what we sent in because they made a mistake in the first place by sending us a housing... read full review »
Normans Moving Services
n 3+ years of loyal Yelp'ing, this is the first time I've found service so horrendous that I am forced to give one star. But I'd give zero if I could.
At best, Norman's moving services is grossly, dangerously incompetent. I say "at best" because I have some grave concerns about their motivations, which I will get to later in the review.
I found Norman on Craigslist and called him on a Wed to arrange a Sat move. He said 2 movers would be available. He was quite friendly, though I did find it odd that he... read full review »
Preferred Warranties PA
On July 13, 2010, I purchased an extended protection warranty from Preferred Warranties Inc. ("Preferred") for the used vehicle that I purchased. My vehicle is a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4. The extended warranty cost me $1500, and was to cover a wide variety of items if the car broke down or needed repairs over the next 48 months or 60, 000 miles. So far, I have needed to use the extended warranty twice. The first time I tried to get Preferred to cover what is specifically supposed to be covered under the warranty, they told me that... read full review »

Once I did so, however, and did not receive the funds, when questioned, I was told I would have to have been approved to receive the funds-contrary to what I was told when the site was purchased. After reading the terms and conditions, I discovered I had to wait 1 year before requesting a refund. I sent an e-mail on 2/14/2011 asking for my refund and Yahoo... read full review »
