We purchase a mattress and box spring (Sealy Posturepedic) from Carls. It has a 10 year warrantee. When the mattress sagged badly, we called Carls.

Two imaginative men were sentenced in federal court Wednesday for swindling investors out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Out of their Marietta-based operation, the men duped investors by claiming, among other things, that actress Raquel Welch was the spokeswoman for a cosmetics company they owned. But that wasn't their most audacious assertion: They said they were working with the University of Minnesota to develop a tree species that grew faster. Patrick J. Soltis, 47, of Hoschton cooperated with the government and received a... read full review »

High Country Window and Door at 1939 East Kentucky Ave., Denver has ripped off more customers than just me. I gave them $940 as a deposit to order the door and stain it. They have since gone out of business and no orders have been placed. Call the Denver District Attorney's office at 720-913-9179 and request an "Economic Crime Complaint Form." Do this even if your claim is less than $1, 000, as they have started a file on this company. The Secretary of State website shows they dissolved in 9/15/2003. Evergreen or Conifer customers call your County DA. read full review »

The deadline for filing self-assessment tax returns has not brought an end to phishing messages intended to trick web users. Despite HMRC telling customers that it only informs them of tax refunds by post and that they should not respond to such phishing emails, reports were made of a highly lucrative criminal scam in the run up to Sunday's tax return deadline. The latest scams take advantage of the number of people waiting to hear whether they are eligible for a tax refund. Phishing messages now tell people that they are due a rebate... read full review »

He also downplayed other chimney repairers in the area. It was only later after we signed the written contract and paid by check of $1150 of... read full review »

Joshua Tomey moved away from Boston two summers ago, but he jumped at the chance to see his old team, the New England Patriots, take on the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl last month. So he plunked down $4, 200 for two tickets to the Feb. 6 game, he said. But Tomey never made it. That's because he was one of about 41 victims of a $255, 000 Internet scam, in which federal prosecutors say that Michael R. Deppe, a 20-year-old from Hudson, conned people into paying for Super Bowl tickets he never planned to... read full review »

Received my phone bill, have now spent much of two days, several calls resolving it with them.There was a charge for $1.99 ($2.12 with taxes) for a call made to 900-446-2900. Bottom-line = the charges were wrong - no call was made from my phone to that number. Apparently it happens to many and not always for such low amounts. On my last call to my phone service provider, I finally instructed them to take it off my statement, to not take it from my checking account (automatic payment), and to just let the owner of the 900 number come to me for resolution. My phone service provider agreed to do this. Beware! Don't get crammed!! read full review »
