I received a check/letter in the mail for 3950.00 for deposit in my bank. I was ask to be a mystery shopper for Walmart. Then to take the remainder of the money 3, 430.00 and Money Gram it to someone named Jennifer Brown. I did as they ask after it set in my bank for 5 days. At that point it cleared or so I thought. I pulled the money out of my account and the next day they sent me a letter stating that I owed them 3950.00. So I called the bank they accused me of knowing that the check was fake. Now this puts me at legal risk. So... read full review »

Hello, My name is Melissa, I live in St. John's, Newfoundland. About a year and a half ago I purchased an LG Chocolate phone from Telus Mobility on a 3 year plan. Along with the phone I also purchased the Blue Tooth Headphones and accessories. I have to say that I loved the phone, It did everything that I wanted and worked perfect... At first. About 10 months into using the phone it started to loose battery very quickly. I brought it into Telus and they told me to come back if I continued to have problems. SO the problem... read full review »

Real Canadian Superstore

Tried to return a defective food product today that I purchased two days ago. Was refused by someone who called herself a "store manager" for a completely (in my opinion) lame excuse - and who would not, when asked, show me where this was addressed in the refund policy. This "manager" did not appear to me to even have a Grade 1 understanding of customer service and has now, single handedly managed to PERMANENTLY alienate a customer who regularly spent $11, 000 per year in "her" store over a $15 refund.

Kart Louis/Winnwer prize $250,000.00
November 4, 2008
I too, received yesterday, in the mail, this kind of letter from Karl Louis, of Unique Solutions Inc., in Toronto, Ont., with a check for the amount of $4, 815, stating I had won $250, 000.00 USD in some lottery. But I had to pay off a fee via a tax agent, to receive the $250, 000.00. This is a fraudulent scam, a legitimate sweepstake does not require that you buy anything or pay a fee to collect your prize. If you’ve won merchandise, the promoter will pay for delivery; if you’ve won cash, the promoter will withhold taxes or report... read full review »

I am so angry at this company. I cannot believe that they are actually still able to do this to people. I fell for their scam today, and I sure wish I had the common sense to know it couldn't be true. I thought they were telling the truth because I had filled out a free vacation contest card at a music festival, and when I was called they said they knew I filled it out at the music festival so I thought it was a legitimate business. They said it would be $299. When I called back about canceling my payment they said I... read full review »

After explaining carefully the extensive work my motorcycle needed Bill and Craig agreed to take it on. It needed numerous parts. Instead of fixing it they left it untouched for 5 months and told me they had ordered all the parts needed. They didn't provide an estimate for costs because they never looked at it. They only ordered two parts and lowballed the repair cost by $1200.00. I never recieved an apology or compensation for a lost riding season. read full review »

When you do that, they make you fill out all these forms about what you want/looking for, and then before you know it, they've got you paying $60/month for a membership.
