  • Kumon

12/9/23

Parents - if you WANT YOUR CHILDREN TO LEARN, give them an ACTUAL LEARNING PLATFORM like IXL, ALEKS, etc.

Kumon is just incredibly boring, repetitive worksheets (4+3,4+4,4+5, etc) for ENDLESS WEEKS - instead of ACTUAL INSTRUCTION and ASSESSMENT.

Kumon's "instructors" are NOT TRAINED EDUCATORS. They simply buy a franchise license, hire teenagers to help and RUN A BUSINESS.

You will get MUCH MORE for your kids with one of the proper online platforms like IXL, ALEKS, etc.

Tip for consumers:
No value at all. Students (6th grade!) are simply forced to do the same repetitive single digit addition for ENDLESS WEEKS while taking YOUR MONEY. There is NO INSTRUCTION.

Vacasa is the worst! Watch out for FAKE REVIEWS ON TRUSTPILOT (easy to buy)

Be careful about all their fake reviews!

We wasted hours trying to help mom to setup an account. She is 80. Our father passed away a year and a half ago and she was finally ready to find a new friend and have some kind of relationship.

We should have looked for reviews before trying this site and app! Now, we know better!

We setup a profile using a PC and then tried to help Mom with the app on her iphone (it is her only piece of technology).

Their app kept giving us error after error. We called and spoke with customer service, who was not able to fix it and "had to escalate".

So we get an email 2 days later that "our account is terminated in the interest of our community". What a load of BS.

LOL! Wow! So then we look for REVIEWS - ALL after 2019 are TERRIBLE. 1-2 stars! Here and consumeraffairs.

TOTAL WASTE OF TIME. They Ignore Your Settings! POF is the Worst Site and App EVER!

ANYONE can CONTACT YOU! Example: if you want "only ages of 70-90 around Miami, you will get guys 40-90 from the ENTIRE USA and CANADA!

Tip for consumers:
DONT BOTHER! Try eHarmony maybe? That is what we are doing next.

Oh and avoid Silver Singles too!

  • Booking.com

12/9/22

Was listed as a Host for 2 years and got one booking total (ironic as we are the TOP property in our area with other platforms.

Johnny Vago of Booking.com starts blasting us on email that he's been trying trying to reach us (LIES) and threating to delist us, etc. We end up wasting a bunch of time trying to fix things and the system keeps giving errors.

One booking in 2 years ISN'T WORTH OUR TIME or this harassment.

We are INDEPENDENT HOSTS. You make a commission (14 - 25%!) when you actually bring us bookings. One in 2 years isn't worth this BS or Harassment.

We are FULLY booked without you. WAVING BYE BYE!

The last thing we need is some guy in a call center barking orders at us or else!

Tip for consumers:
Don't bother - it takes forever to sign up and you WONT GET BOOKINGS.

We got ONE in 2 years as the ONLY WATERFRONT IN THE AREA - we stay 100% booked from other sites.

  • SilverSingles

11/29/22

Use PLENTY OF FISH instead. They have have FREE MESSAGING. Yes, you can pay for more features but Messaging is free. So, you can chat and meet people without paying.

SILVER SINGLES is just an ELABORATE SCAM! You can't do anything useful as a free member.

I WASTED HOURS setting up a profile, taking their "personality tests", and THEN found out that you can't see profiles, message, chat, see photos or anything else unless you pay $20-30 per month!

A total waste of time!

Tip for consumers:
Get Plenty of Fish instead - they have free messaging

Products used:
Nothing - installed their app, spent hours setting it up then found out "PAY US OR YOU CAN'T DO A THING"

Here is what they CLAIM up front "Get a customized windows quote today. No sales visits need!".

The REALITY is "fill in contact info with NO specifics as to window size/features and they call to arrange on-site visits.

We HATE Liars!

Tip for consumers:
Don't!

They are still emailing me, trying to get me to remove to modify my review. Too bad - this is what happens when you treat customers badly.

And now, they just keep lying and keep getting caught.

During the purchase, they lied that "they are pushing the factory to hurry on production". Total BS. Now, they are lying that the item is no longer available.

LOL - I have personally spoken with Mastech - a very large company with 30 offices worldwide. The MS6514 is NOT DISCONTINUED in any way.

Now they are also trying to BRIBE ME WITH POINTS. First 200 points, and now 300 points. Basically 100 points = $1 - but only applied up to 30% discount against a purchase.

Oh yeah AS IF I WOULD EVER GIVE YOU ANOTHER CHANCE!

LOL!

STAY AWAY! Scam Site

Fortunately, I used Paypal. I ordered a digital thermometer. After a week, the status was still "in processing" (should have been shipped within 72 hours).

I finally got them to respond and it was total BS - "we are urging the factory to push them out" and asked for 5 more days.

I immediately opened a ticket w/ Paypal and emailed all the Tomtop contacts for a cancellation. Their first response was "hey give us more time why don't you"? Totally unprofessional.

NEVER NEVER NEVER BUY FROM THEM!

Hey RUDY - try reading before you post another form letter?
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Attention Newegg. After 20 YEARS, I am done with you.

You will be able to look-up my recent post to customer service and my chat session - regarding Order: *******.

Apparently, the high standards are entirely a thing of the past.

Don't bother asking me to "reach out to customer service". I already did that. If you want to get me back, it is your turn to bend over backwards.

UPDATE: NOV 26.

Dear Rudy,

You are "looking forward to hearing from me"? Really? How charming.

You have everything that you need. The order #, associated notes, and online chat. Do your job, and review it with your manager.

At a MINIMUM, the ONLY way I am coming back to Newegg is for you to cancel the seller's account or make them fulfill the order.

I don't expect that you actually care, and all you guys do is paste that script over and over to every bad review.

Hey - don't worry - eBay and Amazon have got us covered!

BEWARE - FIVERR DATABASE HAS BEEN HACKED OR STOLEN!

I received a spam message through my Site's Contact Us form. My original site design was worked on by someone at Fiverr, so that's the connection.

Please note - the guy named in the threat below has no connection to me and would have no idea what my site is. Today, Fiverr deleted his profile.

So, Fiverr's database has probably been hacked, or this was done by one of their employees.

BEWARE!

Subject: contact me asap

Message Body:
Hi, I wanted to let you know that your site has a lot of porn and gambling spam. Please get in touch to me to have removed. If you dont contact, there will be more porn spam and your site will be dead. So no waste time and order my gig now www.fiverrDOTCOM /miananosh01

They are JUST A MARKETING SITE. Nothing they post is to be trusted. They post great reviews of the companies that use them for advertising/marketing and post horrible reviews of their legitimate competitors. Case in point - look at their travel insurance reviews - then compare those to totally legitimate reviews on tripadvisor and other sites. Look at their review of "World Nomads"? One of the most well-regarded and reputable carriers - with HUNDREDS of great reviews on Tripadvisor and many other sites.

Moreover... take some of the content on that same page - like "when should you buy travel insurance" - it is clearly copied directly from another site. Take the first paragraph and plug it into a google search. Ahah... they can't even be bothered to paraphrase other people's work.

They post a RAVE review for squaremouth, who surely is paying them for it. If you do independent searches for "review squaremouth" it will be easy to find that real customers of squaremouth were usually not pleased with the "service".

Never trust ANY review site that doesn't allow direct customer commentary. More than likely, it's just one more marketing site or scam site.

Tip for consumers:
Stay away! Watch out for the tell-tale signs that a "review site" is no more than a marketing scheme.
