Yet another story of online fraud. I have purchased software named Spyhunter, online about an year ago from www.enigmasoftware.com and certainly not from www.iomatic.com. Surprise, surprise I receive a thank you e-mail:

Thank you for purchasing Registry Medic renewal.
This purchase entitles you to an entire year of free upgrades.
……….
Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions.
Thank You,
Iomatic
http://www.iomatic.com

I shrug the e-mail but did not delete it. Then by routine check of my credit card activities I see a charge of $29.95 done by the www.iomatic.com for the renewal of software I have never downloaded from anywhere.

So I do not hesitate and contact them by the only means thru their web site (there is no phone number) and did not get any respond or explanation of the charges made to my credit card and how I could ever stop this automatic renewal.

I have already called the credit card and disputed the charge. The credit card representative wanted to solve the matter on the spot but apparently he hit a hard spot trying to contact them and let the things for latter. I requested replacement of the card with a new number at least to avoid the spread of the issue. No one knows who sells your information to whom nowadays.

This is for now. I hope the dispute will be in my favor. In between I have red many negative reviews for the www.iomatic.com (registry medic software).

Purchasing online will remain insecure no matter how many zillion legitimate transactions are going on as we speak.

www.Alpharooms.com

I had the misfortune to book a hotel by using the service of www.Alpharooms.com. It is a very easy to book and the prices are very tempting, but the things stop there. After wards there is no communication at all, nor by e-mail nor by phone. In fact there is a costumer service number you can call (very expensive), wait for a response and usually not get any live person. There is a little more luck when you call the numper for booking, but when the other site finds out you are calling to complain, ususally you get put back to the waiting line.

Their cancellation policy is also a ripoff because for +56 days cancellation you would be charged %20 of the amount paid.

My experience is: I booked on February 07; paid in full online for hotel, transfers and paper voucher. There was an automatic e-mail assuring the delivery of the paper voucher within 3 to 5 days. The next day I realized that I need to change something about the taxi transfers I needed and sent an iquiry for change. Then I found out how lousy is their costumer service.

I have sent six e-mails include one to their marketing manager ( I was lucky that I foung out his e-mail address, but this is another story) and spent I do not know how much time on the phone and the expenses with that without result

Then I contacted my Credit Card to see my options, because after all I did not know how favorable their cancellation works (you can do it online). From my Credit Card company I had the assurance that they are on my side in case of cancellation and dispute. I inquried a dispute of the charges an then I did the cancellation online on Feb 27,2010. Today is March 19,2010 I still do not have conformation of the canceled booking by Alpharooms nor refund.

Please read the other reviews and be aware. Do not fell for it and just keep the posting as Chris suggests!

WATCH33 - Additional writing - Posted on Nov 19,2009

I understand this writing may jeopardize my credibility. I place this my writing in front of an old review since SiteJabber does not allowe writing a fresh review from same account for a same web site, let me say this. I am not Watch33.com costumer and I did not have personal experience with their products offered or business practice.

I read or at least glance almost everything posted on Site Jabber. I have read the first mostly negative reviews and got more involved and started my research about Watch33.com after the post on SiteJabber written by Mr. Matt Silversides was removed and there was an array of positive posts afterwards. I started sending e-mails and on Nov 16,2009 wrote a review about Watch33.com. After a while thru my Sitejabber account I received messages from Mr. Matt Silversides regarding my review and pointing to aspects and specifics of the online watch retail business that I did not know and probably will not fully understand since I am not in the business.

I would like to post them but it will be against the rule of the site

That what I said on Nov 16,2009 is true and is based on information provided by watch manufacturers I have contacted, but then I realized that I was trying to "play god" and I am not. Mr. Sirverside's messages also made me start thinking of how little I know about the specifics of the on line watch and retail sale and resale. Off topic but relevant – People shop on e-Bay.

In the future I will make more research and read in full everything posted on a web site such as: waranties, terms and conditions... if I decide to post a review.

Everyone who loves/hates or still follows watch33.com reviews.

In attempt to find more about watch33.com I looked the web sites of Swiss Army, Swatch Group, TAG Heuer, Tissot, Cartier and Omega. Some of the watch brands listed on watch33.com

I wrote e-mails to Swiss Army, Swatch Group, Tissot, Cartier and Omega with the question if the www.watch33.com is affiliated to them.

I browsed and compared randomly watches on display on watch33.com with these on the official factory web sites I visited.

Here are my findings so far:

1. Swiss Army – www.swissarmy.com/Pages/Home.aspx – I searched for the watches with factory numbers *******, *******,2434 and ******* which appear on the watch33.com list and found out that all of them are discontinued models. I also sent an e-mail to costumer service. The answer: watch33.com is not authorized Swiss Army watch dealer.

2. Swatch Group – www.Swatch.com - Sent an e-mail and representative of Swatch Group wrote me back that wtach33.com is not authorized dealer of their watch brands.

3. Other watch brands as a part of Swatch Group can be checked on http://www.swatchgroup.com and include Omega and Tissot.

4. Cartier - http://www.cartier.com/ - sent an e-mail and representative of Cartier wrote me back that wtach33.com is not authorized dealer of their watch brands and Cartier would not cover watches sold by them.

5. TAG Heuer – www.TAGHeuer.com - I could not locate watch33.com as a TAG. Heuer authorized dealer in the list provided by TAG Heuer web site then I called *******460 costumer service telephone. The answer was TAG Heuer does not support watch33.com.

I wish the future reviews about watch33 to be positive. I wish good luck to Watch33 in getting under better spotlight and their strive for decent costumer service. Time heals everything and as the developers of this site have cited, negative reviews also help a good business from time to time.
