Contacted them regarding some vacation packages and firstly was quoted a very high price. About $680 more than I found if I booked through Expedia & Booking.com. Along with their deposit to hold the reservation.
After that I decided to check and found no listing for them as "legal" travel agents anywhere. Be very careful about this site and your money or CC details!

Don't open an account with this bank in GeorgiaI It's amazing how poor their service can be and absolute lack of knowledge between departments.
I once sent a message there to get a BASIC question answered that could be passed off to any banking official and replied within a day / two max.
* It took one week with no reply to emails.
* Had to leave a comment on their Facebook post before someone replied via FB
* After getting a reply they became absent again and had to send another reminder email after 5 days passed without a response.
* A total of 4 weeks passed before they sent a message to say that it was not possible to provide the answer and I would have to become a client and offered me a form to apply so they could answer.

Giving up on the Piss Poor Service on their page, I sent one more email and got a response within a timely manner. This time the person on the email provided me exactly with the answer to the question... The one I was told I couldn't get answered unless I opened an account.

All said and done I would NEVER bank there. Absolute worst!

This site give Batumi / Georgia a very very bad impression. They have countless methods for contact and and never reply to ANY emails or Skype. Once got a reply on Facebook after many many requests. Would be very cautious about buying a property from them.

  • VRBO

7/20/16

I will admit that yes I've had 2 or 3 great experiences on VRBO and met great property owners but this is due to detailed research prior to booking. However on the flipside I've had one apartment double booked and was notified by the owner 1 week before. They eventually found us another apartment but not suitable for a vacation rental. Got no compensation from VRBO.

FRAUDULENT LISTINGS! - I've seen two such listings (in the same country and about a year apart). The latest was an apartment that is actually currently for sale (know this because I recently viewed it on the realtor's website). They've used the exact same photos and made up a convincing little story on the listing. It actually had one review which was similarly convincing however the photo used was from a real estate agent in the same country. This person I've met during property viewings and know for a fact they live in the country, however the listing portrayed them as visiting for the first time.
I've tried to contact VRBO re this listing and the other but there's no direct link to report these type of listings and they most they do is say fraudulent listings are covered by your booking.
So in the matter of interest, you show up to your vacation rental with your family and having paid a good few thousand dollars. Get out of the taxi and go to where you're "supposed" to be staying and the unit doesn't exist, is really not for rent or a property for sale. How does this VRBO guarantee help you at the last minute?
Great if you can get a property with over 10+ reviews but if not don't risk it!

Nice looking website with POOR service. Asked them a simple question to see if it's possible for the to do a construction job... rather than reply, they read the message and blocked the contact.
Do not trust this company with any project or your funds! I can see them easily doing this to any client.

  • Instagram

9/11/19

I got locked out out my IG due to a phone crash and unable to provide the 2 factor authorization (only the codes I could not get). Despite knowing the log in details, password, old passwords, previous logged in devices, locations, device types, providing IG support with proof of ownership, details of messages in the account, screen shots of paid ads from the FB linked to the account, and certificate of registration of the company... Instagram said they can't confirm and need more proof. Even the correspondence to Instagram was via the SAME registered email on the account!

So they have locked me out of a business account! BEWARE! Thousands of dollars in printed marketing material over the year have been lost as the account can't be accessed. I have since opened a case with the Better Business Bureau against their practices.

  • Vistajet

For a company catering to an elite section of the travellers who expect essentially "the best or nothing", this company fails on service.
How can you run a company that potentially charges $20,000+ for a flight and refuse to reply to their own online query form?!?!?
After not receiving a response from this "company" I contacted 2 others and both replied with quotes within minutes. Needless to say, VistaJet lost a $52,000 flight which went to another company due to their lack of service.
Needless to say it's been days and still haven't had a reply.

Do not register your IG account with this place.
They have absolutely NO customer service, no email, no chat, no contact numbers, ironically no social media too listed on their site. I made the mistake of registering my IG there and now can't get it removed because their "automated" method isn't valid either, so I had to change my PW for security precautions.
Also their service of getting followers etc doesn't work.
Don't make the same mistake with your account on this site.

  • ItaliaPass

6/17/19

Still in 2019 it's certainly not worth the purchase. They're very few hotels associated with the pass and comparisons of the same hotels on other booking sites are often cheaper than the discount they claim to give. I also noticed no difference in four different ItaliaRail train ticket prices when booking. As for the lounge access, there's more to see and better places to spend time if needed in Rome Termini Station than the VIP lounge that's offered on this card.

Beware of real estate agencies that require clients to come to them to view properties. As with all agencies worldwide that represent a certain area, said agents are usually available to show properties to clients in the respective regions.

Better Property claims to represent Abruzzo (among other areas) however not very professional in that regard. After having to take 2 flights to get into Italy, followed by 2 trains to finally get to Pescara... in Abruzzo just to view properties.Hotel reservation also made in Pescara to cover the days there. However as the agent Rosanna indicated, they can't meet in Pescara and I should take another train and a bus... AND... stay at a B&B near their office in Vasto. I wonder how many other potential clients they inconvenience despite getting a minimum of 3,000+ on commissions for sales.

Despite the POOR service of Better Property, I was able to get a more reliable agency, who not only drove 50+ min to get to where I was but another 1hr 30min to view a property and back. This along with a tour of the village and other necessary appointment locations.
Needless to say an offer was made with that other agency on the property.

Avoid these so called "convenient" real estate agencies that have no interest in service but somehow still want commission!

  • Samsung

8/16/18

It's amazing how a huge company would try to SCAM a consumer...

Samsung is world renowned for having battery issues, no denying that FACT. Unfortunately I also suffered a similar fate and the battery to my note started to swell to the point it lifted the screen and cracked the camera.

I contacted them about this (along with full photos, IMEI, Serial #) and was told that the phone was out of warranty but they will repair it for free. I sent off the phone to them and after they received it, they sent me an email stating that "after careful inspection" (note those 3 words for later) the cost of the repair would be $506.56.
I immediately sent them a message about this and provided screen shots where they said the repair would be FREE. They apologized and sent a subsequent email stating the repair would be "free of cost".

After 7 days with no update I contacted them and was told they were still working on the phone. Another 3 days passed... now 10 days I contacted them again and was told the same thing.

That same night they sent a message saying that the cost to repair the phone would be too much and that the phone was previously opened by another technician so they'll be send it back to me as is without any repair.

1. This phone was purchased new and NEVER had any issues, falls, drops, or even scratches, so no need to ever have it repaired or checked. To further complicate their LIE... they previous email stated "after careful inspection"... how do you CAREFULLY INSPECT a phone, determine the parts needing to be replaced including the inside board without mentioning the fact that it was opened before and you can't work on it. SCAM #1
2. They were all willing to charge me $506.56 to repair the phone at my expense, however when they realized / remembered that it was to be done for free, they kept it for a full 10 days trying to come up with a reason to avoid the repair. SCAM #2

As a side note. I also own an LG phone... they too are somewhat known for "bootloop" issues. This unfortunately happened to my device which was out of warranty. However they accepted the issue and repaired the full interior board for free. They didn't try to avoid their faults and scam consumers.

I have since filed an official complaint with the Better Business Bureau and will report this to as many network & news agencies as possible. I've made sure to retain all emails and screen shots of this transaction. These large corporations need to stop taking advantage of the general consumers.

WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER SAMSUNG DEVICE! BIGGEST SCAM FROM A COMPANY I'VE EVER SEEN. JUST TO SAVE A LITTLE MONEY.

Another SCAM site
Like other sites I've tried this "freelancer" site for a while to see how it went. Surprisingly made a good set of money! However when it was time to withdraw my funds it wasn't possible... sent messages and was told they're working on it... sent subsequent messages and NO reply. It's well over a month since I've tried to withdraw my funds and they're still not allowing it. I've managed to take screen shots of my profile details, balance and other information in case they close the account.
The've also closed off their Facebook account and Twitter account.
I'm now seeking legal action to try get the money that's owed.
Beware of these type of sites especially this one. A total scam site for the sellers.

LG

Poor service and POOR QUALITY phones!
Had 2 phones from them and BOTH had issues. The LG V10 has a known "boot-loop" problem which basically renders the phone useless. They refuse to acknowledge it or repair it unless it's within warranty.
Likewise the LG-G3 randomly shuts down and again they refuse to repair. Both of these issues are "known" to LG and a basic search online will show how many people suffered the same fate.

I've been using cell phones since the inception of the Motorola "brick" and have been through Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia, Apple, Sony and Samsung... LG is ONLY one with issues!

AVOID LG PHONES AT ALL COSTS! NO SERVICE AND POOR QUALITY DEVICES.

  • Chefette

ABSOLUTELY POOR SERVICE
Ordered a BEEF & POTATO roti from these people and because they are so busy any can't handle orders efficiently, they gave a CHICKEN & POTATO. Called and spoke to the rude manager Ms. Proverbs who said that she didn't know if it was my fault, till I told her that the receipt had the correct order but the package did not.
Now without food because I don't eat chicken, they told me the only way is to drive back down or get a drop back to receive the exchange. If I can't come today, put it in the freezer and bring it back.
Asked if they could deliver and collect the incorrect one? She said NO that won't happen. So because of THEIR ERROR I would have to find someone to take me back to Chefette ON Christmas Eve!
Will NEVER buy anything from these people again with. POOR SERVICE FROM CHEFETTE AND WHO THEY HAVE REPRESENTING THEM!

When you have no option for Google reviews but can place "testimonials" on your site, it's clear what's fake. Even their app reviews are negative.
This place has no service. Contacted them a week ago about a property and no response. This was a self-generated from from THEIR own website so they can't use the excuse that it went to spam mail. If they can't be professional in returning a property query they certainly can't be professional for handling house sale.

  • Payoneer

11/11/20

Been battling with Payoneer since December 2021 to get my money they have held.
They blocked my card since December and for months I've had to submit all types of proof and documents just as a Fiverr freelancer. Yet after finally providing all the documents they asked for and having things verified. They still won't release the funds on the card they blocked since last year. I can't acess it on my account and the card no longer works.
Cotacted their customer service numerous times and no replies. Because I made it public on their FB page they also blocked me from commenting on their page. That is to show the low level of this company. But I will place the truth in other places as they are trying to hide things from real users of their platform.
Serious red flags for placing your money in Payoneer!

Tip for consumers:
Avoid at all costs.... do not risk your money to the chance of losing it all.

  • Heritorwatches

10/15/20

To start I can not deny that this is an absolutely beautiful watch even more so in person and has a good weight to it. However, the issues I found with Heritor (RESULTCO) are as follows:

1) I purchased the watch online and everything worked... except. The second hand. It wasn't properly seated and would only rotate if the watch was absolutely flat. If the watch was tilted (like everyday wearing), the second had would just spin all-around freely.
Contacted Heritor and they said because it wasn't purchased directly from them, they couldn't take it back for a repair/replacement. But they offered another solution, which leads to issue number two...

2) The rose gold Aura (3903) sells on their website for $$1,115 MSRP... on Amazon for around $690... and eBay for around the same$500 - $690. However, Heritor was willing to sell me the replacement for $65 (that's correct sixty-five dollars). This sounded a bit too good to be true but at the same time brought home the reality of the true value of their watches.

I accepted the offer, they sent the invoice and I paid. Two days later I got an email stating that they can't ship it to my addres (despite them being in Michigan and shipping my USA address which Amazon, ebay, FedEx and USPS all use without a problem). But Herior (RESULTO) said they can't ship there and to confirm the address. This I did the same day along with providing the invoice/shipping lable for the first watch. They never replied. Over the next week and 4 emails Heritor never replied to any emails or refunded my money.
It wasn't until I posted public comments on their IG account, someone replied to the comment and I received a refund "invoice"... I still haven't seen the refund on my bank.

If you're going to buy one of these watches, don't pay more than $100/$150... anything more is a rip-off. There is little to no customer service and it just a big scam. Loads of negative reviews on their FB which unfortunately I didn't see until after the fact. But buyer beware.

  • LinkedIn

7/25/19

It's a shame to see LinkedIn with racism and profiling in 2019!
My wife decided to setup her LinkedIn profile for the first time two days ago... she included her full name, business details, education, certificates and all the necessary details including country. However the next day she was also asked to send a photo ID (this is unheard of) but despite that, she also complied and sent as requested. That same day she was told that her account was banned citing "security concerns" and the need to "protect their community"!

She has complied with everything, she's not from the Middle East or any war-stricken country or has any relation to such. She sent them multiple emails asking for help as to why the account was banned and all they said is they can't give the findings of their security team.

A full read of their Terms and Conditions showed no violation or anything that could have been against their rules with a 2 day old account. It's a real shame some companies still go to such levels to discriminate against certain minorities. I'll make it my mission to keep posting this level of discrimination experienced by your company and hopefully, it'll be reached by a news agency!

  • Flow

7/17/19

Cable & Wireless > Bartel > Lime > Flow... no matter the name, you have been ripping off people for decades and still won't change.

Recently signed up for a prepaid line just as a backup and only to find out that I now have $0 on it (despite not using it in the 6 months I had it). Contacted your live... or "lied" chat and was told by Rochelle that after a while that it is no longer valid. I informed her that Digicel at least gives a full year rather than a few months. She adamantly disagreed and that they're both the same then abruptly ended the chat. Typical Flow customer service!

Immediately went to Digicel's live chat where they also confirmed it's 1 year.

So, Flow once again, (1) STOP trying to rip off people... (2) Educate your staff... and (3) Make sure they know about customer service before hiring every and anybody!

Absolutely no customer service. Tried for a while to get information about a shipment and they refuse to answer read messages on Facebook and ignore customers. Would never use again.
