The customer service executive said that they will adjust my reward points against the nominal balance left to be paid and my card will be discontinued. Now, after few months, I am getting calls from a delhi number, different people claiming to be... read full review »

March 2007 I sent Animation Studio $1500. I was impressed by their portfolio and wanted them to design my website. After one month I might have heard from them 3 times.

This ordeal of trying to get a refund went on for another month with NO results. After I called and told them that I was filing a small... read full review »

I am 57 years old and am seeking work. I saw an add on retirement jobs.com for various positions for the Von's stores so I sent in a resume and was called for an interview. When I went in for the interview well dressed I was treated coldly by a Gal by the name of Elizabeth and I could tell because of my age she was not interested and said she was not really hiring right now but just trying to get a feel for the kind of people looking for jobs. I was furious when I left since that is false advertising on many websites and I wasted my... read full review »

I received several emails from multiple people that all stated the same thing. Namely that I had won the U.K. National Lottery. I did some research and found that other people had been taken by these scammers and had sent checks to the so-called courier company but then never saw anything back. Several of the e-mail addresses that where used have been deleted and are no longer in service. These people are out there to steal your money and there seems o be no way to trace them.

The heating element on our Maytag Neptune dryer stopped working. It has taken 3 service visits and multiple parts to have them tell me that they don't think the dryer is the problem... they say there isn't enough electricity coming out of the outlet to power the heating element. Funny, there has been enough for 2 dryers in the last 13 years! Why couldn't they figure this out of the first visit? I would have saved $160 in service calls and probably the same amount in parts... read full review »

Funds from my checking account with my credit union(PFCU) in Philadelphia are being deducted without my authorization.

I need help. I ordered a pair of Nike Air Force One sneakers advertised on the above named site. Cost was 59.99 and 11.64 shipping for a total of $71.63. Used my Visa and the amount was deducted from my checking but I never received the sneakers. When I go onto their website, it now lists a different site and name altogether. There is no phone number or e-mail to get in touch with them. The only thing I have is that my Visa was charged from a location in Long Branch NJ. Beware consumers! Thank you. read full review »

We ordered a chair and ottoman from Gately's store on October 9, 2007 and received an order confirmation. Our credit card was charged on the same day.

In April 2006, we purchased three Kenmore Appliances to receive a 20% rebate. We did not purchase any extended warranties because I do not believe in them. I believe a product should be made to last but I have been proven wrong. First of all, the dishwasher needed to be repaired after less than 13 months BUT just enough time to be out of the one year warranty. The seal on the motor broke - I sure that didn't happen overnight. We were forced to pay labor but not parts. Sending a letter to Sears was never answered ... what a surprise. NOW -... read full review »
