Hollywood Congressman Howard Berman has proposed legislation that would effectively shut down peer-to-peer networks. His proposal calls for "technological self-help measures" such as interdiction, redirection, decoys, spoofing and file-blocking. This sort of action is a blatant declaration of cyberwarfare against consumers. The battle over technology vs. content is nothing new. While it is natural to resist change, it is necessary for growth. This ongoing battle is best described in relation to the Betamax lawsuit in the 1980s in... read full review »

My mother received a call today from someone with a heavy accent saying that his name was Detective John Dolby from the FBI. He was contacted by the Better Business Bureau who was contacted by the 'American Money Mart' (I think that's what he called it) to assist them in delivering a large sum of money. He said to call him back later to let him know when someone will be home. For the hell of it, I called the FBI and they never heard of him. The phone number was (Jamaica of course) 876-417-9907 read full review »

Just received a call from 1-876-356-4214. Caller ID showed Jamaica. Caller had a weird accent. Caller said he was from UPS and he had a package for me. He went on to say to call his boss, Joe Carter, at 1-876-356-4214 to verify. I asked who was the package from. Caller said American Monetary something. Believing this to be some scam, I did not call Joe Carter. Could I be guilty of racial profiling? read full review »

I just got my ticket for the Lady Gaga Concert in the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise Fl., I can’t believe that they charged me almost double the ticket price and I only realized this after I got the ticket at home since it had the real ticket prize. Actual ticket value $53, they charged $92 + $20 for processing and a $15 delivery fee. To make matters worst the ticket I get is a printed page from ticket master that I could have printed myself at home. I have to say I feel completely cheated by this service, besides the fact that the... read full review »

I thought I was buying a tube of whitening toothpaste but instead am now being ripped of for $99/ month for some portal I never suscribed to. I called two weeks ago and spoke to a customer service rep who told me I should have looked at the Terma and Conditions. My ire apparently wasn't enough as they hit me with another fee this month. I will contact my credit card company and see whay I can do. The least I will do is cancel my card to prevent future charges. A lesson learned. read full review »

They are collecting credit card numbers. They advertise ridiculously low prices for camera gear, and get you to put in a credit card number which they refuse. They then email asking for bank account numbers so they can "save you 17.5%" in credit card fees! read full review »

These people contacted my grandmother as well. They said she won 2.5 million and had to send money to receive money. She told them that if she won then they should just use a portion of her winnings to pay that amount... anyway the numbers were 876-480-1747 and 876-376-9148. He stated it was Global Sweepstakes and his name was James Porter. I called back and demanded his information and he said he couldn't give me his information because he didn't know who I saw. I said he contacted my family member and I needed to verify hi... read full review »

The Five O'Clock Show With Peter Andre (C4) HIGH drama in Weatherfield court with Gail the hamster in the dock for crimes against marriage. She's charged with recklessly getting wed to the wrong man on several occasions. She's a serial bride. Her last hubby fell off a boat in the Lake District and drowned when an insurance scam misfired.

So the Duchess of York is ashamed and sorry for trying to make money out of a scam promising to introduce businessmen her ex- husband Prince Andrew who works hard as a worldwide ambassador trying to get people to invest in Britain. Sarah Ferguson was caught out in a sting organised by the News of the World with the prince having no knowledge of his ex-wife's nefarious dealings. A shock for him and the whole Royal Family as they read their newspapers over breakfast. Sorry from Sarah is just not good enough. She could have damaged all... read full review »

This company is a complete joke. They came to SC in Sept 2010 and fired an abundance of employees who worked for this co for years just to bring in their "own" employees. They say you have health insurance and take it out of your check every week but then you go to the dr to be told you do not have insurance!! I have over $600 in medical bills that I received the past week, this isr just the beginning. The new Upper Management runs their mouths to employees like they are buddies.

I ordered 2 bottles of one of their products at a cost of $60. It was never delivered. There is no way to track a package sent from this website, something I did not realize when I ordered. I have never had any problem with orders on websites before this. After repeated voice mails and emails I have decided I am never going to get my $60 back. There has been no response at all from the company. I have tried calling dozens of times, tried different times of day, I only get the same voice mail, which now says the Inbox is full and no... read full review »

On Sunday morning (my only day off) I called my local Radio Shack to see if they had any discounts on the HTC EVO. I called the store and spoke to Alex, the assistant store manager, he told me that they had a discount on the Evo and would rebate me $50 if I turned in an old cell phone. I thought this was great, so i went in. When I got in the store it was pretty busy, but I am a patient guy so I waited no problem. About 30 minutes into the wait I was assisted by Alex, he started me up but was interrupted by a client with a bigger purchase... read full review »

I was called and asked if I would be interested in selling my Branson, Mo Wyndham timeshare. He gave me a dollar amount, I agreed, and he got back and said it was all set. The buyer was ready. It would take time but first they would need to do a title search, etc, etc... I gave them my credit card # to pay for the search. I was told it would take 30-60 days so I waited. Later I tried to contact them and was unable to reach anyone. I was later told they are not reputible and I wouldn't see my money. True. That was nearly a year ago... read full review »

I bought this product under a free trial offer for face cream, just paying out for the postage. I phoned the company and immediately cancelled the order once the small print had been properly read. The company assured me that the order had been cancelled. However, I did get the cream through the post, which as immediately returned unused with a covering letter from myself again reiterating I wanted the whole business stopped. Unfortunately though I recently got my credit card statement and the amount of 96.35 has been taken from my account... read full review »

March 4, 2011 I had stopped at Stater Bros. Market for a few items of food. While shopping I noticed Bar S Hot Dogs with a price tag of $0.75 cents for Meat Bar S Hot Dogs directly in front of the Hot Dogs. The tag simply said meat Hot Dogs. When checking out the cashier rang up over $2.00 for each package. I mentioned that the price tag has a price of $0.75. The cashier said that is for meat franks and I said those are meat franks. The cashier said no! everyone knows that meat franks means chicken and pork! I simply relied that I did... read full review »

I tried to order three bottles of Calorad from Asantae.com. The minute I put my credit card information in the form, It was gone!!! No way to verify what I had ordered. Imagine the shock when I received the bill for over $333.00. They said I would have to pay them a 10% restocking fee to return the NINE (not three bottles ) they sent me. Also they charged me over $21.00 tax. My state does not mandate that tax be paid on internet orders. Please be aware that this site is a rip off. I am still fighting this and don't want anyone else to get ripped off by these crooks!! read full review »

I have been googling for sometime now in regards to organising a Hens night for my Girlfriend which is in November at the Gold Coast. I found it alot cheaper to order online from this American Bachelorette Store. I ordered $63 AU worth and would arrive within 10-21 days. It has now been just over one month. I know some people may think thats its just only $63 AU but thats not the point! i put my faith and trust in that company, and all i got was them taking my money. I waited a few weeks, but nothing in the post, so then i decided to contact... read full review »

I would simply like to advise that coast to coast tickets raises the price of tickets by a great amount. $35 tickets were posted as being $91. In addition to that they had a shipping fee of about $30 on EACH of the tickets. Send me an envelope please, these are paper tickets for goodness sake. This may not be incredibly wrong, but with out doubt they are not oriented to providing you with the best possible deals and I advise you to look elsewhere as they are undoubtedly taking advantage. And don't bother attempting to cancel an order, even several minutes after it is placed. It's not going to work. read full review »

I cant believe it even though it keeps happening. I am seeing time and again young men with issues against women their own age. In the last eight years, I have encountered more and more gorgeous young guys that want to be with me or marry me or whatever. I see more and more dating sites (such as cougarconnecting.com I prefer to) which cater to the relationship between younger men and older women. Now I'm 37 something so I expected the young twenties group to be keeping more to themselves, but no. They insist they are better than a... read full review »

Conservatorship won't work for a lot of people, especially when the only apparent problem with some elderly persons is that they keep falling for this scam, sending money, etc. I've read about various products - Caller ID Manager and others - but most seem to either be discontinued or don't work with landlines or have some limitations. Another - ColdCallBlocker - supposedly allow... read full review »
