When we received our Jan, 2009 phone bill we noticed it was higher than normal. We noticed a USBI charge of 19.95 billed by SURE CONNECTION LD, INC. which we have never heard of. After three calls and waiting on hold for several minutes I spoke with a person that informed me we had signed up for unlimited long distance service with there company over the internet. Problem #1 - We never signed up for this service. Problem #2 - This phone number is for incoming calls only, we couldn't make a long distance call if we wanted. Problem... read full review »

WARNING! Delta Air Lines employees giving out FALSE information at LAX - you could be charged as much as $600 for one piece of baggage! Customer service will IGNORE you! You will NOT get any money back! My finacée and I arrived at LAX for departure to PVR (Puerto Vallarta) for a two week trip over the holiday season 2008–2009. At the check-in counter at LAX, a DELTA ticket agent informed us that fee structures had doubled as of July 2008, and i would be charged $300 round trip for my surfboard. I was outraged at this fee, and... read full review »

I noticed a strange charge to my bank account for the amount of 11.95. When I contacted my bank, they told me the name of the company and gave me phone number. I never authorized charges for or signed up for ANY healthcare plan. I was at work and my purse and wallet were locked away in my locker when the transaction took place. I tried to call, but only got an automated service. I had to cancel my debit card and can only hope that I get my money back! read full review »

I went to Tech Masters for an oil change that was to be $8.88. It ended up being 38.00. The real problem came when the mechanic came to tell me that I needed wheel barrings, a master cylinder, and that I had severe oil leaks. The master cylinder and barrings alone would be nearly $1000.00. I was told that because I needed these things immediately, I would be in danger to myself as well as others if I did not get this done right away. I had just bought the car less than two months prior and it is an 04, with 50, 000 miles on it. A mechanic went... read full review »

As a privately owned business, we must be able to count on taking and downloading our credit card sales at the end of the day to cover checks. With four service interruptions in two months as longs as 1.5 days, our business is suffering. When we call, no one will ever let us talk to a manager. It is so frustrating. When the service come out, they do not even come in the store and say that it is fixed. I guess it is up to us to keep trying all day. It seems that many other businesses have experienced the same problems. Even though we are under contract, we had to switch to Verizon, which will take another 3 weeks to obtain the telephone number. read full review »

Think TWICE before you order Bromalite free trial bottle. It comes with (so far) 4 different companys' trials and monthly membership charges that will hit your account a month later. Bromalite will charge you $69.99, some travel program trial $1, some educational program trial $1, and some fitness program membership will be $39.99. You will have to spend TIME to resolve these issues and get your money back. I was able to get all of my money back. I sent an email to Bromalite to cancel this membership and ask for a credit. I called the... read full review »

I did not know they set up a trap like that to collect $4.95 a month. Let everyone beware!!! read full review »

I will just get in line behind the other 246 complaints. Two years ago this was the rated the best small business credit card, and it was a great card. I used it frequently for business and paid off what I put on and even transferred a balance due to the fixed 7.99% rate. How can a rate be fixed if it can change at anytime? My credit is good, I pay bills on time. I have two car payments a mortgage and two credit cards. I have never been late on a single one, ever. I read my December statement and out of nowhere I am apparently paying 27.xx%... read full review »

Same as happened to Others, I ordered the one dollar trial sample plus shipping and handling, the company (thieves) automatically start charging my credit card $89.31 a month and start sending me monthly bottles that I did not order, and they claim they are non returnable, this is a total scam, it never indicated that they were doing this unless its in the very small print somewhere, it never tells you that your credit card is being charged this amount, this is a classic unlawful scam at its best, these people should be arrested, I'm also reporting to better business bureau. read full review »

I decided to refinance my existing mortgage. Quicken advertised how wonderful they are so I decided to give them a try. Initially I spoke to a sales rep who told me I could get what I asked for---no problem--all I had to do was send them $350 to start their paperwork and investigation process. I then received a good faith estimate describing how the loan would work. I decided to increase the loan amount and again was told 'no problem'. I received another good faith estimate for much less than I was told. I called the first salesman... read full review »

I discovered this website during a search for a specific gift. I also found other gifts on this website as well so I ordered 7 things on Dec 26th. I checked the next day and it still said that my order was pending. On the 3rd day after making the order I noticed the money had been retrieved from my bank acct but still pending on the website. I sent four emails and tried to call numerous times but no answer on the phone, just a hang up. My husband then discovered this website on Rip Off Report.com and stated that I should file a report. As of... read full review »

My company purchased 2 laser ink cartridges from Databazaar.com, because they were a lot less expensive than purchasing them in an office supply store. When we received them, the first one we tried did not work, the company sent us a UPS return label & we returned the cartridge & received another one, which also did not work, we went to buy the original cartridge from an office supply store & that didn't work, we were told that we probably received defective merchandise which in turn destroyed our laser printer. I called... read full review »

Look out! If you sign up for your 'free' Grant Writing Express CD, you are also agreeing to paying $54.96 / month, once your first 'free' month is over. That information is in small type near the end of the pages. I did not see it. When I discovered the charge, I phoned to complain. The best I could get was a 50% refund. Any time it's 'free' be sure to read ALL the fine print. I didn't, and got whopped. read full review »

I placed an order for over $260.00 worth of merchandise from this co. on 12/13/08. I received an order confirmation via email. I then received an email on 12/20 saying my order would not be filled and that my money would be refunded to my credit card. Needless to say I have not received my refund after sending many emails. They also have a bogus phone number. I have reported this to my credit card co. for investigation. I hope they get what is coming to them! I believe in karma!! read full review »

I also have had difficulty with getting my merchandise from Bully Xtreme. I ordered a product about a month ago and sent a follow up email prior to the Christmas and I still have not had a response. I tried the phone number of the previous reporter and it is now disconnected or changed with no new number. I tried to email again and even replied to one of the marketing news letter with no response. Frank Sherrill seems to have responded and tried to make the previous reporter whole. I would appreciate just getting the material I purchased. read full review »

I am not sure what this company is up to but I am very skeptical to say the least. I was browsing the classifieds in the back of the East bay Express and found an ad for a company that was seeking extras for TV and movie work. I called the number and signed up for the work. A man by the name Ryan Renwick picked up the phone and asked if I had ever called them before. I said no I have not and he explained to me that they are a casting company that needs extras for TV shows. I said fine this would be fun work what do I need to do. He took my... read full review »

I have had unathorized charges of $8.51 per month after a trial of acaiberry as promoted by Oprah. I cancelled after the trial and still have not had the huge amount of over $80.00 refunded. I am now getting these monthly charges of the same amount but with different company names. When calling the customer service number numerous times, I have waited on hold for over 20 minutes and then have had the customer service reps hang up on me when I ask them questions about these charges! I even have the cancellation number for the initial amount but to no avail. I am going to also report this to the fraud dept. of my credit card company. read full review »

My checking statement showed a $39 ACH Withdrawal made by Synapse on Nov 3. I called them and they informed me it was for magazines I had ordered and that I signed for 'automatic renewal.' I never gave authorization for them to go into my checking account and help themselves to the money. They returned part of the money saying they were billing me for magazines I had received. I have notified my local bank and with some insistence they agreed to turn it over to their fraud department. I will also notify the police if necessary. I... read full review »

Advanced Media took $7, 900.00 from my credit card on false pretenses, The charges were for TV commercials, Web Site and Class 1 DN publication ad in three different publications, 1 Ad in each paper for 6 weeks at 20 words or less.

Basically this company promises to find you a roommate or your money back HA!!! I tried calling for a refund for over 5 weeks and I was being told that they would call me right back. It never happened. The funny part is it was the same guy i talked to every time. After I got the 'ill have someone get right back to you' line for the 10th time i became impatient and i expressed myself to this gentleman. He hung up on me. He didn't answer for the rest of that day. The only other person I talked to was very rude and hung up on me as well. They charge a $29 fee for their services. Its just a huge rip-off !! read full review »

I ordered DVD player software from Roxio, paid them the money (credit card via the Internet), downloaded the software, installed it, and it didn't work. I assumed it was something small, but when I tried to call Roxio for support (they don't offer a website for support) they demanded money to even talk to me, with a minimum of $20+ charged against my credit card with no guarantee they could solve my problem. Player problem: DVD worked fine in other machines, but on the one where I installed ROXIO, the sound was all choppy and... read full review »

The company sends a contractor (russian guy). Comes in and starts drawing a picture of how electrical circuits work to justify his exorbitant prices. Put in the electrical outlet and to my surprise the price was $600 dollars. Said my meters need to be switched out and the price for that is $1500 dollars. Do we live in the same world? When did electrical equipment become this expensive? Be very wary of this company. I had to cal the customer services and get some of the charges reversed, as he charged me for items not installed. read full review »

UBS contacted me from all the Internet searching that I was doing, searching for work from home programs. When contacted, I was immediately introduced to this program about making all this money on a monthly basis. I was told about doing internet advertising from home, UBS would pay hosting fees after six months, websites for me to work from, shipping fees were paid by the company, that my apprehension was causing me to read too much into it, because UBS was going to do all the work, that this work was easy.

After subscribing to Men's Health Magazine, I received 2 books from Rodale Inc in the mail as a preview, (Total Fitness Guide 2009 and I will be charged if I don't send them back (at my own cost) in 21 days. Other reports say that the books cost $50.90. I did not get an invoice yet for the books, and do not see an easy way to return the books until I have the invoice. Total Scam. This company was taken to court for this a couple years ago, and are apparently up to their same tricks again. read full review »

I did order a Blackberry Storm mobile phone from them. Transferred GBP 240.- to them via Western Union. The contact person was Mr. Alan Pepple. After trasferring the mony I received a message from them stating that they would not sell a single unit, but made me an offer of buying two more units (+one free) if I sent additional GBP 550.-.

If you are contacted by LeasePlacer.com DO NOT do business with them.

This company offers 'free' trial. Then bills your credit card without further notice and continues year after year without notice. When you catch them and cancel they do not offer a refund. Many have written that the renewal 'reminder' was not sent but the renewal was processed anyway. The company is well aware of their unethical practice and continues unabated. Any business that recognizes a problem and continues with disdain knows exactly what it is doing. This is defacto intent to defraud. read full review »
