On December 23, 2004, I purchased a Gateway M520CS notebook (serial no. 0034694149). Instead of buying a Dell or Apple, I chose Gateway because of the affordable price and because I thought that Gateway was a reputable company. Since then, I have had numerous problems with the system. As a journalism major entering my junior year this fall, I rely on my computer for both class work and writing articles for my college's paper, the Towerlight. However, I experienced steadily declining quality and support from Gateway. It seems as if I... read full review »

On July 4, 2006 I won a bid on a ring from auction riot.com, I still have not received the ring and it was paid for on the same day I won the bid plus shipping cost. I have written and sent 3 e-mails to [email protected] which is who I paid for the ring. I still have heard nothing at all from them, I also have e-mailed auction riot.com customer service but have not heard anything from them either. Looks like I was ripped off !, I am trying to determine which better business bureau to contact to complain to them also. Thanks, Robert ( P.S. Please do not display my e-mail address ) read full review »

I invested my retirement with this company and have not received any return on my investment or request for the return of my investement. I am in jeopardy of losing my life savings after 33 years of hard work. I am not well and unable to go back to work. This company is going to cause me to lose everything because they violate a contract that I entered in good faith. I have been lied to every time I call that a company is buying out the contract for over 3 months. read full review »

Don't know if this is possibly so standard as to be boring ... But I was dealing with Sames-Crow Ford dealership in Corpus Christi, Texas. The finance department was absolutely TERRIBLE regarding how they handled this all-cash sale. First, they told me that I HAD to have the car registered in Texas (even tho I am moving to North Carolina in about a month and already had an address there... They told me, straight, that this could NOT be done -- but I had it on good authority from two other dealerships that this was a routine... read full review »

This is a major business that intentionally rips off its customers. The business should not be allowed to charge so much interest and sometimes charges that are not explained. I was recently ripped off by RAC here in Galveston Texas. I had been a customer of RAC since 1998. My first purchased from RAC was a bunk bed set for my daughters and to say it was paid for and I did not have much hassle from them. I ended up paying $3500 for a bunk bed that would have cost much less in a regular furniture store. The interest was ridiculous. Then again... read full review »

I bought this iron from Lowe's a couple months ago. I sent in registration. At first I loved the iron, however I can't put water in it! When I try to steam the water leaks out the bottom, I have water spots all over my clothes. I am one of the few people who iron everything--I must keep a spray bottle to use instead of letting the iron do its job. I can't find my sales receipt, is there anything you can do for me? i STILL HAVE THE BOX. Can it be exchanged? Sue Greenville, Ky 42345 read full review »

I received a phone call to my cell phone that I didn't recognize and I ignored it --- but then I googled it - and found your website. Back in December of 2005, some 7-8 months ago, someone else said this number was a repeat offender of unsolicited phone calls. Unsolicited phone call from 972-661-8208 - a Dallas exchange. I had only used this new cell phone number in emails to online extended car warranty companies, as far as I can recall...one in Maryland and the other one in Boston. NEVER AGAIN will I give out my cell phone number to a company. Don't know who sold it so fast, but it really irks me. read full review »

Lies, lies, & you guessed it...more lies and all from Honda & it's ad campaign claiming 49/50 MPG on their touted 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid. We fell for the sales pitch & hype when we plunked down $27,000 in April '06 for our new Honda Civic Hybrid. Turning out to be Truly a bad move, as we have never seen anything over 34 MPG & it's currently 32 MPG. A far cry from their deceitful and misleading claims. After confronting our Dealership (Penske Honda with this information, one of their staff (an obvious trouble... read full review »

We purchased a Sirius S50 receiver from Circuit City in December 2005. It was no longer working by June 2006. We took it to our local Circuit City for repair and they denied us becuase we bought the unit online. The online service rep. referred me to Directed Electronics for repair. We sent our unit in on July 3, 2006. Directed has had it ever since. Every time we call you you say it will be 2 more weeks. The level of run around we have been given is completely unacceptable.

My family and I went to Cozumel Mexico for vacation on July 3 -7, 2006. On July 4, we attended a 90-minute timeshare presentation and purchased a one bedroom suite from Sunset Lagoon Beach for $10,000. We were pressured relentlessly over and over from their sales people. We were told that Sunset would guarantee the rental income of $1,000 for an unused week if we rent our weeks through Resorts International Marketing Corp (RIMC) with one-time processing fee of $549. The salesman Jayeson kept saying that it was a win-win situation. He told... read full review »

It turns out they use this technique to get free advertising and apparently have no intention of ever paying for ad placement.

After seeing very low prices for a Canon EOS 5D I called three sites trying to place an order. 2 of them, Royal Camera and CCI immediately aknowledged the camera advertised was actually a gray market item and not intended for sale in the USA. I doubt they would have been forthcoming with this information had I not asked. What does not make sense is that on both sites the camera came with a $300 manufacturers rebate. Since the cameras were not intended for sale in the USA, there is no way Canon will give this rebate. The third company I... read full review »
