The caller states that the spouse's husband (not identified by name) was hurt while... read full review »

First of all it is great to have the site up and running. One never understands how effective something is until it is gone or broke. I would like to provide an update on a thread I sent out several months ago. There have been several arrests in the case. One arrest was in Las VEgas. This is the subject who taught the other people their trade. There were four arrests here in Texas. Of the four arrests, three of them have already plead guilty to Federal charges and have been transferrred to a Federal Prison. The fourth person... read full review »

Lately our forum and numerous others have been spammed with hidden links. The usual tactic is to post an insignificant reply in an existing thread, and to include a hidden link either in invisible text (matching our background color code), or hidden behind a smily. This type of black hat SEO spamming is against Google's terms of service and is usually associated with throwaway domains that are not expected to have a long life, such as porn sites or online drug sellers. The objective of this spamming parasite is to increase the... read full review »

We recently learned of a mail fraud scam that is falsely using the PepsiCo name. It claims that individuals have won "one million dollars" and a chance to appear on TV to win one billion dollars. They also offer a check for thousands of dollars, in exchange for personal information. This is currently being mailed to some consumers’ homes and we want the public to be alerted that PepsiCo did not initiate, nor does it endorse this activity. The check is not ours and has no value. We do not use these types of incentives for the... read full review »

Yet another reason to check those emails thoroughly, even if this is a late warning. Not all scammers are tech retards and stuck to using yahoo (or other free email services) these days - Quote: Scammers too, know Dilbert. On their way to search for clean IPs through which to send out yet another scam email, 419 con-artists (Mrs Sharon Goetz Massey) have recently started using Dilbert.com’s recommendation feature in an attempt to bypass anti-spam filters — and it works. The use of Dilbert.com’s clean IP reputation comes a month after 419 scammers used the same tactic on NYTimes.com ‘email this’ feature. read full review »

The truth is they are not very knowledgeable in Emergency Medicine. I visited this facility about a month ago as well as some people in my community for ER care and the doctor had to consult with his partner because he wasn't sure how to treat me which resulted in a very bad reaction to the medication injected. In addition to that, they charge alot more than the ER at the hospital, and there were charges for services that were not provided. The restroom had crap on the wall and door and wasn't clean. There are also several lawsuit... read full review »

I hope this saves you making the same mistake. IGS Energy called in June when I was heating my pool with a therm rate of $1.3999 compared to my local company, NIPSCO's, rate of $1.85. No extra fees, no cancellation cost, no service charge, no contract, I figured I could keep an eye on it & save a little money. They told me in December they would send a letter notifying me of the current rate & I could decide then if I wanted to stay with them or cancel. End of December I realized I hadn't heard from IGS. I called NIPSCO 1st... read full review »

I ordered a $1700 gown from the Las Vegas store. I am nearly 6ft tall and was assured that the gown could be ordered with my hollow to hem measurements so the waist would fit properly. I live in Ohio and was not able to try the dress on before it was shipped to me, however I was assured again over the phone that it had been made with my hollow to hem measurements. The dress came in with only extra length added to the bottom. The waist of the dress falls 2 inches short of my natural waist line. I look like I have a tiny body and extremely long... read full review »

The idea is wonderful and the product is excellent in quality and content. But it seems the foundation of the organization may be struggling with proper/legal business practices. The Ripoff Report submitted 5/5/2009, all updates and rebuttals are true. The organization has failed to pay individuals as described in written contracts signed by both parties. The company website has published several statements that are known lies in regards to products and services. The organization has failed to produce the scholarships claimed to be given out... read full review »

I had a similar situation as the previous customer. They repeatedly returned clothes that appeared pressed but not cleaned. I sent them back for 're-do's' only to never see some of them again. 7 months ago I discontinued using them. I recieved a phone call from them last Saturday stating I had a white Theory blouse I needed to pick up. I told him I had been arguing with them over the loss of that blouse for ages. When I went on Tuesday they once again could not locate it! Avoid this place!!! read full review »

I purchased a T-Mobile side kick from this man in December of 2008 for my son. When my son used the phone, it would turn off and back on resetting itself and erasing phone numbers etc. I contacted the seller who gave me an address to send the phone to and he would send a replacement. It didn't come so I emailed him again (numerous times) inquiring about the status of the shipment. He would respond by saying he had not gotten his replacement shipment in or he would stall by saying he needed the item number; or my mailing address; then he... read full review »

After some investigation of this investment I have discovered the following. Shannon W. Knox never invested my $25, 000.00 in the group he claimed to he kept this money. That is deceptive trade practice and is a felony in Texas. The company, R.O.I. Risk Management LLC, he wrote the contract on was closed in 2007.

The trades are controlled to steal your money. The platform you watch before you deposit behaves very differently after you deposit. Trades you watch expire in the money mysteriously move against you in the last second of the trade. These are the last seconds that you cannot see. Anyoption trades do not follow what is actually happening in the real time markets. You will be successful for the small trades yet the same strategy fails for the larger trades. DO NOT USE THESE THIEVES! I finished in the money on my first free trade and by some... read full review »

Sent me a strange letter which made me wonder how they got my name and address. They said members of their associated had reviewed my profile. I felt this was strange and freighting. I hope someone can stop them. I went onto the web and researched this only to find this group has been sending these letters out for many years. This should be against the law. I saved a copy of the letter and would be willing to help in anyway to stop this from happening to others. I was so glad to read what others have said who were also sent this letter.

DHF agreed to pay me 'x' amount of money for my small chain of fitness franchises in two equal payments. They paid the first half but then refused to pay the second half. They said ALL the clubs were 'non-performing' franchises and that's why they don't owe me the money. I have signed letters from the owners of each club stating that they ARE performing clubs. Andrew Barrnett at Diversified didn't care if I had signed letters. He said we're not paying and that's all there's to it. We are an... read full review »

Human Dental paid for a claim. According to Humana, they then later denied the validity of the claim, after almost 1 year, and then said I owe them money. They never tried to contact my Dentist who did the billing or myself. I have no record of an original attempt to collect repayment. And the billing department at the Dentist office verified they had never been contacted.This happened in September 2006. And even so, the originally billing to them was correct and, should have been paid by Humana. Now in December of 2008, Finance Systems of... read full review »

Banana Hobbies sold me a defective AT-6 Texan airplane. Motor/batteries did not have the power to even take off (the batteries were fully charged).

When I pressed with techinical questions, Jack was evasive and suggested I take pictures, send the pictures to Banana Hobbies at which time a determation would be made to see if the... read full review »

My complaint is about how the rules in our neighborhood have changed since I've signed my 2nd lease. I am a single mother of 3 boys and spend aprox. 2 hours or more outside with my children.

Breeder is selling kittens infected with Coronavirus.
