ToysRus and BabysRus or whatever they call it... have products you want, and they do a mediocre job of allowing you to buy and receive... that is, their service is just kinda OK, but after you buy you will be spammed no matter what you enter in their contact preference fields... here's a direct example I just received:

Here they promise to remove my name in ONLY 10 DAYS. They instantly began spamming within seconds of submitting my order over 2 weeks ago, and now I get more days of their SPAM.

DO NOT GO TO TOYSRUS.COM IF YOU VALUE YOUR PRIVACY.

Electronic Arts is an electronic game company. www.MASSEFFECT.com is a site they use to sell and distribute the game MassEffect. The permit you to obtain a demo copy of a game. As you play the demo game, they offer you many chances to purchase the full version. That seems fairly business-like, doesn't it? The trick is, they do not deliver the game once you give them your credit card number.
I think that they are not intentionally criminal. They are just so pathetically inept at business and arrogant in their size and importance as a game company that they permit themselves to commit theft and fraud. It goes like this.

They give you a demo.
Tell you can upgrade for to a really cool complete game for $16.
You then have to fight your way through about 20 screens of payment processing companies that you have to join in order to give them money.
You also have to join various "networks" that they own and you must set up accounts with them.
In this process you are switched from page to page and repeatedly asked for the same information - credit card numbers etc. and made to push many "accept" or "checkout" buttons. This results in your paying them two or three times for the same transaction. This is very true. I have checked with my bank I have been charged twice, so far.
So they get your money several times, and god knows how many partner sites get your credit card data.
And then, they don't even deliver the game.
That is correct. They email you a bogus code that can only be used one time - and when used, you get nothing. Their server dumps a few useless downloads to you that cannot be installed without the game you PAID for. But they do not give you the game itself.
They have a customer service robot that does not respond to complaints and they provide no means to reconcile this type of rip off.
SO…
DO NOT EVER EVER EVER try to buy anything online from EA - Electronic Arts or any company affiliated with them.
Get in the car, go to the mall, and buy a USED version of their games. They do have good games, but sadly they have a company that is fraudulent, whether by intention or simple incompetence.

There is no way to unsubscribe from their emails, and no way to terminate an account. I have tried everything. The unsubscribe link goes to a dead end page that has NO submit button. It cannot be submitted.
Their chat robot will not allow unsubscribing or closing account.
If you give them a valid email, you are trapped. I have changed my email address to a fictional account and their lame system accepted the change. MAYBE that will prevent my inbox from being cluttered with their offers every day. If not... I don't what to do. They are not available online except during hours when I am working from a secure site and cannot contact them. BEWARE!
They need a call from the FBI. These are illegal practices.

Especially if your pet is on a raw diet, this place is phenomenal. They offer a broad selection of frozen raw meats, and meaty bone cuts like chicken backs, necks, etc. Their meats are clean, well prepared, well packaged and deeply frozen for long lasting. They have other products too.
Pricing is as good as it gets.
Delivery is almost next day, often is NEXT DAY, even if you don't request it. Items arrive deeply frozen and shipped with dry ice in well insulated boxed. The packaging must cost a lot, but the pricing does not reflect that. I have never received an order that was even close to thawing.
And if you order the wrong thing accidentally, or if they make a mistake, they'll take care of you immediately.
I have been using their products for my pampered little, finicky, Poodle girl. She's had more than her share of skin disorders that have required special feeding from time to time. They always have alternative proteins and supplements to deal with allergies, and special combinations of meats and veggies doggies love, even spoiled Poodle girls.
TRUST OMA'S. You doggy will love you a little more.

I dared to disagree with them by correcting their lies and or biases with fact-supported comments. That got me banned for life, so... is that the kind of hypocrisy we want from "conservative media"? I expect it from CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN. In stark contrast, sites like Breitbart News and even Fox News allow almost any reply or comments that are not really profane or socially dangerous. They allow themselves to be criticized. Not Gateway Pundit. Expect to be banned if you care enough to correct them.

The fact is, in my opinion, they bring nothing to the game other than a slightly different slant on what everyone else has already said. They are not an investigative source of news. They are a copy-cat, me too, echo of old news posted by others... and they are certainly no more prone to fact finding than the worst blog you can find.

I had an account with this "media" source. I could contribute by commenting where others agree and disagree with the content openly. THAT SUDDENLY CHANGED.
I cannot comment. I cannot contact the admin or find help. I cannot create a new account. It says I have to do a "CAPTCHA" thing, but there is not one. Even if I did something to my computer that might have temporarily messed up my ability to comment, I should be able to overcome that with a new account... UNLESS I have been silently banned from the site. After all, I do sometimes sharply and clearly call out statements made by the author that are factually wrong or biased and/or lacking intelligent content.

My suggestion, if you are a conservative and want to hear their take on things, fine. Sometimes they can aide our understanding, but DO NOT EXPECT them to welcome views that criticize their self-assured arrogance.
