  • Microsoft

2/6/15

This evening around 7:40PM friday I received a call from a company that handles Microsoft problems. Microsoft noticed that my computer had over 56,000 errors, my computer was automatically notifying Microsoft. Well this company called me and said we will get rid of all the errors and will put in place a microsoft antivirus and a cleaner that will take care of my computer for the rest of the life of the computer. They were very nice and I was watching them fly around my computer and I thought WOW this is a great thing they are doing. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL, the second person came on and said it would cost me $200.00 for these two programs for the rest of the life of the computer. Here I thought they were going to do this and since there was no mention of money when this call started, this call lasted for nearly one hour and when I told them that I could not afford $200.00 for I am on a fixed income, I am a senior citizen age 70 and also a veteran and see if they would waive the fee. Really, I could not afford that price so they said I could pay 100 now and then next month another 100, I said I could not so they then said you can pay us $60 and we will clean up your computer but will not put a cleaner program on my computer. I told them that for all the help they wanted to do for me and without the mention of money I was going to notify sitejabber how great they are and would gladly mention them to others for the thoughtfulness that they gave there customers. The next thing I hear is she hung up on me and that was that. I have not had any problems with my computer at all. I have been doing my best to protect my computer and still feel that I am ok. I have a tablet and have been using it more and more without any problems there either. I just loved how they set you up and then let you fall. No money no honey. What a really nice company they are (NOT).

Tip for consumers:
check and find out if this is going to cost anything before you start or you could wind up 1 or 2 hours wasted.

I saw on there website sd 32gb memory for $3.69 EACH. I placed an order for 10 sd 32gb cards, I paid then $36.96. When I received my order I found only 4 32gb cards for $36.96. They changed the price to suit only 4. I wrote to them and they emailed back saying I only ordered 4, what a lie, I ordered 10 and (i have the printout,) they say NO you did not. I have purchased from them in the past and no problems. I will not purchase not one more item till they make good on my purchase. They are doing bate and switch. I may be out some money but I will not deal with them again.

Tip for consumers:
Save your printout. I really say, stay away from them. They also cancelled the original order and re-issued a new order number to switch on me. JUST STAY AWAY.

I had notified Blockbuster.com that I wanted to cancel my subscription to DVD's through the mail, they replied by saying that I have to return any DVD's that I have by a certain date, and I did just that. I then find out that they are charging me 21.93 each for two DVD's that I sent back. They even asked me for a review of the movies. I notified American Express about this situation and they wrote to Blockbuster and Blockbuster did not answer them, (they knew they were wrong) so American Express credited my account for a total of 43.00 and change. I always use American Express and I advise you all to do the same. Bye Bye for now. Stuart.

  • Boost Mobile

9/18/12

Hello All, let me tell you a story about Boost Mobile. I first started off in this past December by purchasing two (2) Samsung Prevail cell phones and only paying $55.00 plus $5 for insurance and everything is unlimited, text, internet, calls, pics, ringtones, navigation and more. Sounds like a great deal and I thought so too. Well, I tried to download apps and because the phone comes with its own apps there is very little room for your apps and immediately runs out of space, so now you cannot update your apps, there is no space, you cannot delete there apps. I have absolutely no space for any apps I want, so, I went out and purchased a ZTE smartphone. Plenty of storage for all the apps you want but now I have another problem and this time it very very bad reception and the volume on the phone is low and I can't turn it up any further. I call up warranty department and the first person tells me she will email me everything I need to know to send the phone back. Well, I get the email and the bottom half is gone, so I have no mailing of the unit. I call back another day and this time the person keeps asking me the same questions over and over and I then told him to write it down. He too said he will email all the information and I waited and waited and waited and you get the idea, NOTHING. I have had it, now I go back to apple and get my Iphone and whatever else I need. Done, and I mean done with Boost Mobile. Boost Mobile called me at home and wanted to make things right and I said you could not because I will still be dealing with the same people. NO. I can only warn you not to go cheap because that is what you get, at least at Boost Mobile. And I lived happily ever after. Bye, Bye for now. Stuart S. Reporting

It is amazing how today you have to read every word when you agree to anything. I read where you receive your free trail and then you MUST notify them that you do not want any more or they continue to send. I emailed them on April 13 and they still went ahead and charged my account for $74 and change even after emailing them so I went and sent another email 4/28 stating that they cease any further shipments and then notified my American Express to look into this matter. I will get back to you with the results. WARNING, do not do business with the company.

  • Asus

3/21/12

Friends of mine called me up and asked me to come over and take a look at their new laptops. Their son and daughter both bought laptops, one was an HP and the other was a Asus, The Asus was not working and when I talked with them they said that this is the second one. The first one was not working so they brought it back to Best Buy and they were given another one in replacement, they took that one back to the house and plugged it in and that one did not work either and I looked it over and the head crashed. Well, I went back with them to Best Buy and spoke with repair and they said it went bad because they did not use a surge protector, I said you must be kidding me, they said to use a different outlet, I said are you kidding me. I have never used a surge protector on my 2 laptops and 1 desktop and they are still running all these years. Well, you won't believe this but their were 2 other customers ahead of us and would you believe that they had the same Asus laptop and they had worse problems with it, 1 said he was watching a movie and it started to smoke and burned out. The other customer had the same problem as ours and they took them all back. We took an HP and for the others I don't know. I have encountered Asus computers some time ago and I didn't like them then. I have a Dell and an Acer Windows 8. Love them, and for my desktop still running. They don't make them like that any more. Well, all turned out well. Well, Bye Bye for now. Stuart S.

This site Clickinks.com still has not given me my refund, so, I went online to find out the Chamber of Commerce and the BBB and Consumer Affairs agencies that I can report the website to when all of a sudden I spot a website called PeopleClaim.com. I went to that website and the website said free of charge to file with them about this other site Clickinks.com and they would list this site on their blog and other things it would do to get my refund from the Clickinks.com. After filling out their forms and doing everything asked of me I went to submit it and THEN IT HITS YOU. PeopleClaim.com wants me or Clickinks.com to pay 22.90 for their service.

This is a site that I have been using for ordering cartridges for my printer. This time I placed an order for 6 cartridges and when they arrived not one of them fit, they were to big. I notified the company and they said to send them back for replacement. I sent the 6 cartridges plus I included one of my own and they email me and tell me I only sent 6. I then told them to just fill the order and return my cartridge with the order. They have the cartridges and the money and now they keep me waiting. This is not how you do business nor will I return to that site again, no matter how cheap they are. The saying goes when you buy cheap it becomes expensive. WARNING: do not do business with a company that does not concern themselves with the customer. They say they do, but it is not so.

I was looking around for oldies in music and I came upon this site and it said 9.95 for subscription and download all the music I wanted, so I had Paypal send them the money and downloaded at least 281 songs, only to find out that of them all I got 21 songs and the rest would cost. 99 cents per track. I found this to be outrageous and notified them that I am notifying Palpal to debit my account. I also told Paypal that the people were IM'ing me immediately and they were all girls fully nude and with their face and they started with F U this and F U that. I blocked them immediately. I am 66 yrs and married celebrating 36 yrs as of Oct 5 of this year. This is not quite what I expected of this or any site these days. I will also notify the BBB and the Consumer Protection Bureau. Tell everyone you know about this site. If this is not resolved within 20 days Paypal will take over for me. I will rid my computer of this site and I will tell you all how to do this and to prevent this from happening again to you from any site. Check back for the results.

I went to yellow pages to lookup my brother. It said to go to YP.com and I did so. I filled out this form and it said it would cost me a total of $6.90 so I found my brother and his familly but they would not give me the phone number and they had it. If I pay more money I could get the phone number and I got so mad I said forget it. I will try to find another way to call my brother. I found out that one of my brothers had cancer and I wanted to tell my other brother which I have not seen in some time, but I hit the wall. Well, they got my money, but I will tell everybody about the ripoff. Bye Bye

Like the rest of you I just purchased from them and they too charged $15.00 for processing and then tax. I charged mine to Amex. I will write now to Amex and cancel this order. They say you are getting a REE SHIPPING REBATE, fine, but if you take off the shipping which is $7.99, they still come out ahead. I will write to consumer affairs and the BBB and to them and anyone else I can think of.
