If I were an investor, I would not invest in company. If I were a consumer, I would not buy a deal from them.

My experience has been disappointing, and I feel they operate dishonestly.

First, I purchased a deal for movie tickets that would become free if three of my friends also purchased it. My friends did, and I was told I would receive the deal for free, only to later find a charge for this on my credit card statement. I contacted them about this over a week ago. I still have that charge on my statement.

Second, and before I knew I would be fraudulently charged for the movie tickets, I purchased a deal for a hotel stay in Yosemite. I knew that the fine print said that the deal was only valid during the off-season at Yosemite, which I was fine with. I called the hotel to make a reservation immediately after I bought the deal, and several more times in the following days, leaving messages specifying what days I wanted to book. I also e-mailed the hotel about this. No word back in over a week. Now the hotel says that they are all booked, and that the earliest weekend reservation is in late October, for a room with twin sized beds. This is absurd. I e-mailed Livingsocial about cancelling this deal, and have yet to hear back.

Don't buy. Don't invest.
