I used to have Verizon for my phone, DSL, & internet and email service provider. Due to some deal between Fairpoint Communications and the State of Maine, I and everyone else in Maine were forced to be switched over to Fairpoint Communications for all of the above services - whether we wanted it or not. The transition from Verizon was promised to be seamless, but was anything but. I lost stored email messages during the switch and for about two weeks could not reliably send or receive email. Now I cannot send email messages to anyone... read full review »

First, I would just like to say that I feel bad for anyone who has wasted there time and really thought that they were going to get a good paying job because of some kind of false advertisement. These false advertisements can really put people's hopes up and make people believe that they can actually get an easy way out and make some actual decent money. The truth is you really can't get a good job at any place without any type of education, work experience or reference. Especially if you have any type of criminal background attach... read full review »

HughesNet Not a quality internet option. Below is the detail for the parent company: Hughes Communications, Inc. (HCI) and for Hughes Network Systems, LLC (HNS) . After a large investment of my time on the phone with customer support and a larger monetary investment with what I consider to be an extremely over priced, poor quality internet option, I am sending letters of my dissatisfaction to the attention of the companies Executive Officers and Directors.

A&B sold to me an overpriced lens. They sold the SIGMA 70-300mm F4-5.6 DG MACRO Lens to me for HK$ 2500 which I found out to be at around HK$1250 only (around US $210 maximum). I am trying to contact them but to no avail. They manipulated me for being a traveller unfortunately. Could someone give me an advice or help me with this? I really want to have what I paid for and I want my money back! read full review »

Company sends or lures people into opening emails or text messages, asks for contact information in order to get information regarding gaming "cheats" and then calls it a subsription and charges $9.99 per month. This is difficult to get rid of, the phone number provided is to my cell phone company. After a bit of research and 4 months of following up on this, here is what I have uncovered: For anyone interested in reaching this company to have them quit charging you, you can call Mark Witt at 1-480-264-5000.

This company is employeeing young adults to go to Home Depot stores, pose as employees to get lead generation. Then they tell these kids that this is not for them and there are no checks, no return calls, nothing. They have scammed hundreds of thousands of dollars by not paying employees. There are 5 DBA names that they are recruiting under: Newline promotion, LH International Promotionz, Fusion Marketing, Insight Marketing, and USH. Scott Williams, one of the owners, has already been charged with fraud in CO and NJ. I spoke with Jason... read full review »

I booked a hotel with otel.com last October from an internet cafe and received an email confirming my booking. The hotel was advertised as being 5k from Bergamo (Italy), the taxi driver told me it would cost 1 euro per km so when 25 minutes and a 25 euro bill later I asked why the journey took so long he said that the information I'd been given was inaccurate (this is backed up by AA autoroute). On arrival at the hotel, they did not have my booking and the number I gave them meant nothing, they allowed me to log on to the internet and I... read full review »

When I signed up for pioneer telephone long distance service I was thrilled to have such a reasonably priced service that was only billed for minutes used. They offered 800 numbers as well. Great! The only problem is they continued to bill my credit card for the 800 numbers on a disconnected number for 18 months! I had contacted them after 3 months to discontinue billing the credit card and thinking that they were billing the card for my new number and changed the credit card info. I continued to receive bills from the first credit... read full review »

I signed up for packet 8 service in December of 2008. They failed to assist in installing the system as indicated. They left us to our own devices. When an error was made in porting the phone numbers over, they refused to provide any type of credit or additional support. I strongly urge everyone not to use this service. I have cancelled ours. read full review »

We bought an LG Plasma tv at the brick 2 years ago and have had problems with it ever since. The warranty company had a repair man come out at least 4 times, then finally in January they picked it up and took it to be repaired (although they had already repaired this same part and it never fixed the problem). A few weeks later they came back with the t.v and when the drivers unwrapped it, it had been smashed ! They put it back on the truck saying they would have to replace it. After a week of calling The Brick (who after smashing our TV... read full review »

I have been trying for 4 weeks to cancel my account through Merchant Circle. Merchant Circle I have found to be a not only not worth the money for the service. But it is easy access for your competitors to leave fake reviews and give you bad ratings as well. It is not for me and I have tried numerous times to cancel my ad yet nobody has gotten back to me nor canceled the ad. They charge $35 to call and talk to them in person! What kind of business does that?!? Do not sign up for Merchant circle unless you are the only business of your kind in the area and don't plan on ever wanting to stop advertising through them! read full review »

On Thursday Feb. 12, 2009, I received a call regarding the 2007 Ford Mustang Convertible I had advertised on Craigslist and Auto Trader. Asked if I had sold the car yet? I answered NO and he introduced himself as Kevin Dodge a Representative of Autosellernewwork an affiliate of Walmart. Asked me to describe the car and condition, mileage, asking price. I did and he told me it sounded like an excellent car and they would love to sell it for me and it should only take about 2 weeks! They make their money, he said, by re-financing the car and... read full review »

MEC and its agent, Liberty Mutual, have arrogantly committed Workers' Compensation fraud in order to deny Workers' Compensation benefits to a longtime employee who suffered an industrial injury. This seems to be standard practice for Liberty Mutual, under the heading of 'good business.' To delay and deny until the injured worker either gives up or dies means more money for the corporation. It does not seem to matter whether actual worker fraud is actually suspected. Besides, MEC and Liberty Mutual can always work out a deal... read full review »

This company sends people door-to-door selling magazine subscriptions. I bought 2 years of 'Astronomy' at the full face price of $40/year and an additional $10 handling fee for a total of $90. (FYI, it can be had for $30/yr using online subscriptions) I paid the extra because its supposed to help the guy get a 'fresh start'. Well a fresh start at ripping people off? I ordered on Sept 13. The check was cashed within 2 weeks, my statement on 9/26 shows that. Their website says wait at least 90 days before the magazine... read full review »

Two young lads showed up at my door and tried to sell me magazine subscriptions for magazines I didn't want. They told me they were doing it for some contest so I said I'd be happy to make a donation. I said I didn't have any cash, so they said they'd accept a cheque (one each!) but that I had to make it out for an actual subscription, and the proceeds would be donated to kids or something. Well, usually I'm not a sucker for these sorts of arseholes, but this time they were so persuasive and pushy and willing to... read full review »

Simply put I was a victim of Conns. I purchased a television late Friday night (2/27) but against my better judgment. I was lured in by the great deal and a limited number in stock; I felt I had to take advantage immediately. (I felt uneasy about the purchase but it really was a good deal for a 1080p 32in) Well my job and family keeps me busy (son's 3rd birthday on the 27th and the party on Sunday), so I failed to open the box until Saturday night and actually turned the TV on Sunday night. Well to my surprise the picture was terrible so... read full review »

I bought a pump motor last June 2008, and it started making a squealing noise at the end of January 2009. It has at least a one year warranty. After removing it, I returned it to the store. The manager was out sick and 3 days later I still had not heard what the deal was. The 4th day, she informs me that indeed the motor has a problem, but it was caused by my pool water. ????? I had to get a quick education, so I come to find out that water only gets in there if the seal is bad...mine was not. Also there is not one bit of water damage, ie... read full review »

I took my Nissan SUV to VOB Nissan on Old Georgetown Rd in Rockville to have them look at a problem with the airbag system. They looked at it, charged me for the diagnostics, which was fine. But then they gave me an inflated estimate of how much it will cost to fix the problem. When I found that another Nissan dealer is willing to give me a better price for the work I cancelled my order with VOB. VOB then charged me an additional $143 for ordering the parts, parts that will not be used in my car. I told them to cancel the order but they... read full review »

I placed an order with Majestic Mountain Sage for 5lbs of unrefined shea butter. What they shipped to me was rock hard, snow white in color and rancid. If you've ever encountered an oil that was rancid, you know the odor I'm talking about. It was disgusting. I wrote to them about the issue and requested a refund after the product was returned to them. I received a response from Tina Howard. Apparently she is their Customer Disservice person. I see now where she's mentioned several times on ripoffreport.com and screamed the... read full review »

I have been a customer of Saveway Petroleum for 4 years. The actual service has been acceptable but on the expensive side. I currently have an outstanding credit (of over 9 months) that I attempted to get returned to me as I was unhappy with the customer service at Saveway and was changing oil suppliers. One of my major compliants was that Saveway refuses to send out a statement, even once a year. Their stock answer is "We don't do that." Additionally each year they send out a "contract" for burner service with a... read full review »
