http://www.sickofbeingscrewed.com Read the Screws en-us http://www.sickofbeingscrewed.com/xmldocs/feed.xml Thu, 12 Nov 2009 04:27:01 PST I'm a busy professional who joined Table for Six with the assurance that they would have no problem finding someone to match my basic criteria/requests. I was interested mainly in the "Table for Two," which is a pre-screened, one-on-one meeting. However, after a few completely incompatible and inappropriate "matches," it was apparent that all I was given was a sales pitch by Table for Six, JUST TO JOIN their service. The matches WERE NOT prescreened and, needless to say, were nothing short of a disaster. One match stuck me with his dinner bill; another "picked" his nose (and I am not kidding); and another admitted to me he was a racist. I'm shocked and surprised that these men were even allowed to join. Even the screening process for the members is non-existent! When I joined, I was told I would receive a partial refund if I was not satisfied. Of course, I was not satisfied and dropped my membership, only to discover that they have a "hidden" clause that does not allow for a refund. This deception is true to form! PLEASE don't waste your time or money on Table for Six. And PLEASE tell your friends NOT to consider or join this service...you and your friends can do better on your own! http://www.sickofbeingscrewed.com/read_screws.cfm?ID=750 Professional Service Thu, 08 Oct 2009 12:01 AM PST I was approached by this company's salesperson, Stephen W, who flat out lied about the company's services and price. His sales tactics included rushing me through a contract, lying about the explanation that was in the contract, telling me that I could only get the great discount he was offering if I filled out all the paperwork before 6pm on Sept 25, 2009. Now I have had to stop payment on a check, cancel my account and open a new one. My credit will be ruined because I refuse to pay a dime to this company. I have reported them to the BBB, the Federal Trade Commission and the Att Gen of Texas. Hopefully if you are reading this, you will save yourself a lot of heartache by not being rushed into anything by these deceitful people. God Bless.. http://www.sickofbeingscrewed.com/read_screws.cfm?ID=752 Retail Store Thu, 08 Oct 2009 12:01 AM PST fed ex drivers come into our complex and deliver things to letters on the door without looking for the numbers in the address. i live in what used to be apartments and there are four buildings here, however, each having the letters a-z however they also have numbers at the top of the units and since this is their regular route with alot of people using fed ex you'd think the drivers would check out which building is what, the address on the package has numbers like a street address. i have recieved others packages and now again mine is gone and they say nothing we can do? their driver marks delivered and left on front door. but other drivers get it right so its by the driver so why don't they speak to the drivers. teach them about letters and street addresses. someone out there has my much needed new boots plus my info. someone needs to fire that driver. http://www.sickofbeingscrewed.com/read_screws.cfm?ID=753 Professional Service Thu, 08 Oct 2009 12:01 AM PST I should know better by now that there is no "free" nothing and results are never "guarenteed. While I believe that the product is a scan-herbs-my results not anywhere near "typical", the really screw is the marketing company that these companies use to "sell" there product. True Story: I ordered "free" bottles of each of the above for "S & H of $4.95. I didn't read the fine print that unless you call and cancel within 14 days, your card would be charged $83.95 for each bottle, along with a $2.66 "foreign transaction fee" snd automatic reorders would be shipped every month until cancelled. Oh and my order shipped on the 27th of each month and my credit card bill arrived on the 30th. I called when I caught this on my August statement. The wait time to talk to an agent was about 15 minutes. It actually was September 1st when I got hold of someone at the phone #, a really snotty man who insisted that this wall all my fault for not reading the small print. He agreed to cancel my "membership" effective immediately. I ate the $182.96, figured it was a lesson learned and moved on until this month when I got my statement and there were 2 more charges made on the 27th of August. I called, talked to a supervisor and was told that it was my tough luck, I cancelled on the 1st and there was nothing they would do about it. First the product is a screw, I can't believe that it worked so well for Rachel Ray and not at all for me, but this marketing company is really a shark. Of course they aren't allowed to disclose the marketing company's name, only that they are located in Scottsdale AZ, Beware of them, they only accept Visa and Mastercard. They are sneaky and use unfair business practices. http://www.sickofbeingscrewed.com/read_screws.cfm?ID=751 Online Store Thu, 08 Oct 2009 12:01 AM PST Bought leather sofa and recliners and the handle broke off after two years.

Technical support was useless and did not have any clue about what to do about the problem. Finally said the product was bad and to send it back at my expense. I said I have spent enough on your bad product and will not spend any more money on it. They refused to do anything past that point. http://www.sickofbeingscrewed.com/read_screws.cfm?ID=748 Manufacturer Fri, 25 Sep 2009 12:01 AM PST Two years ago we bought a Sears Kenmore bottom freezer refrigerator, 7 months later (right after warranty ran out) the plastics in the fridge started breaking apart, the drawers fell off, the door/light pieces fell off, two shelves snapped. It was not overloaded, two member family. Today the part on top with the lights fell on one side, my husband secured it with tape - WE WILL NOW LOOK FOR A EUROPEAN OR JAPANESE REFRIGERATOR. http://www.sickofbeingscrewed.com/read_screws.cfm?ID=746 Retail Store Mon, 21 Sep 2009 12:01 AM PST i bought a truck with warranty have had maqny problems with it they did a major engine overhaul cylinder heads this is at only 55k miles and the truck still is not correct it runs extremly hot when i tow they say they cant find problem and due to the fact that i gave them a peice of my mind after having it in serveral times the say they will not work on it even though it is still under warranty http://www.sickofbeingscrewed.com/read_screws.cfm?ID=745 Other Sat, 19 Sep 2009 12:01 AM PST I have been in New Haven CT from June 13-August 11. My bill for June 17-July 17 showed it was $410. I hadn't been home. When I was home it was running $116. I called and they re-read it and rebilled me $118. My next bill from July 17-August 17 and it was $289. I was home for 6 days and it was that high. It was just me at my home. Now I'm back in New Haven since Sept 5 and they are saying my bill is $600! This is for the dates of August 17 - Sept. 17! How can it be that high when I have nothing running. No AC, no electicity other than the refrigerator, my sprinklers (once day) and my energy efficient pool motor (which I've had for one year and it has never been $600 of usuage!). Help me! SCE has no mercy, or compassion. How many other people is SCE screwing over? http://www.sickofbeingscrewed.com/read_screws.cfm?ID=744 Utility Wed, 16 Sep 2009 12:01 AM PST On February 2009 I contacted the mentioned above company regarding my divorce. Met with owner, she filled out all needed forms, got all copies of my documents, collected fee and promised to file uncontested divorce in Kings County Matremonial court right away. (Expected waiting time was about 120 days up to court decision). In few months, I called her to find out the result - she said,it is still in progress). After next few months, I tried to contact her many other times, her working phone was out of service and she didn't respond to any of my messages I left on her cell phone. Finally, I took trip to the court by myself to find out status of my divorce case, and got the answer that case was never opened there. http://www.sickofbeingscrewed.com/read_screws.cfm?ID=743 Professional Service Wed, 16 Sep 2009 12:01 AM PST Here is an email of the issue that I sent to ebay customer support, the ebay CEO and the Paypal CEO: Gentlemen, I wanted to make sure you both are aware that the ebay/paypal service appears to be broken. Ebay has not honored my sellers agreement. Ebay has suspended and blocked my account for no apparent reason, charged a buyer (Dan****) for goods and services and frozen their account without providing any explanation. In addition, I was charged $10.62 for services that were not rendered by Ebay. Paypal appears to be surreptitiously accumulating interest on funds in frozen accounts. The frozen funds process appears to be standard procedure with Ebay and Paypal (25% owned by Ebay) working jointly and designed for increase profit by utilizing business practices that are probably in violation of federal trade (or banking) regulations. From my vantage point the ebay/paypal practices appear predatory. Any explanation for the reason for freezing funds and charging customers for services that are not rendered you can provide would be appreciated. I am writing you because there have been no answers offered by Ebay or Paypal customer support for my account being first suspended then blocked other than a vague reference to serious security concerns in an email from ebay. I am asking for an immediate refund of $**.** to my bank account and an explanation as to why my account was suspended then blocked.

My Dealer service was recently closed due to the recession. I had a little road trip coming up and wanted to squeeze in an oil change and tire rotation while I found a new dealer to service my Jeep. What a big mistake I made. Do not go to Texaco XPress Lube. While I was sitting in the lobby they somehow bent my tie rod by either running something over or on the lift. I noticed slight wandering and a tilted steering wheel son my drive back to work that day. When I returned, they would not my complaint. Nothing! What kind of policy is that? They told me to go to a dealer and get an opinion on whether or not they caused the damage. So this is how Texaco Xpress Lube works. They make you site where you can't really see them working on your car, so if they damage it, you can't see it and then claim no responsibility. This is exactly how it played out in court. The judge said I had a good story and everything seemed legit, but the evidence was all circumstantial since no one actually witnessed the damage. They also gave the judge a different story in court than they gave me. They wouldn't let anyone who actually worked at the station that that day come to court. Suspicious yet? After going to my new Dealer Service, they also said the tires were rotated incorrectly. In court, Texaco XPress Lubes admitted they don't check tread depth and that the customer is always right. I AM NOT A MECHANIC! It appears that their employees aren't either, not a single one, and they just switch tires around. My dealer changed all the tires back free of charge w/out even asking me. I had two sets of warning lights coming on and $1000 in repairs after going to these guys. Texaco XPress Lube employees are barely trained amateurs, not mechanics. I took my car back and they denied any wrong doing and would not accept a complaint. Do not go to Texaco Xpress Lube. I'm sorry to report that I lost my small claims (I'm not good at playing lawyer), but that doesn't mean they aren't guilty--THEY GOT AWAY WITH IT! Texaco XPress Lube is the McDonalds of car care! Make sure you get your fries with your order. Awful! http://www.sickofbeingscrewed.com/read_screws.cfm?ID=739 Other Sat, 12 Sep 2009 12:01 AM PST I order from this website told I was getting 20%off and when I got the product they charged me full price and said they did not have my email address or phone number which is BS..

I called and respectfully asked for a refund and they refused. BTW they were paying me a pathetic .05% interest on my money! Avoid Ameratrade, they are greedy, and don't care about the little guy. http://www.sickofbeingscrewed.com/read_screws.cfm?ID=738 Retail Store Fri, 11 Sep 2009 12:01 AM PST As with most sites of the adult variety they claim all over their introductory pages that they are "100% free" but in the terms and conditions agreement they also state that a monthly membership fee is required to access and use the site. http://www.sickofbeingscrewed.com/read_screws.cfm?ID=733 Online Store Tue, 08 Sep 2009 12:01 AM PST 4/8/2008: Trex offered $69.68 for 2 flaking posts, although at that time we reported other pieces that were beginning to show signs of surface flaking. 8/24/2009: We received via postal mail notification of class action lawsuit against Trex involving specific complaints of surface flaking. That day I sent via postal mail a request for a claim form so I could participate in the class action suit. As of this day we can assuredly report that all posts and railings show moderate to heavy signs of surface flaking, with the floorboards beginning to show signs of surface flaking as well. 8/29/2009 All of the Trex we purchased adds up to: $1,925.62 (see highlighted items on attached customer invoice): 776.05 144.00 107.08 255.52 110.72 233.28 298.97 $1,925.62 Based on the information contained in the current class action suit the most that may be awarded to each plaintiff is $250.00. This would hardly cover the cost of $1,925.62 that my wife and I incurred when purchasing this obviously defective product. We are seeking the full $1,925.62 plus an additional $2,000 for labor and additional parts that will be required for the demolition of the current defective Trex and installation of a wood-based product as we will certainly not be buying any more Trex ever again http://www.sickofbeingscrewed.com/read_screws.cfm?ID=731 Manufacturer Tue, 08 Sep 2009 12:01 AM PST I transported a 2002 Chevy Suburban from TX to WA State for A-Blue Knight Auto carrier Inc. After three weeks of promising my payment for that was "being processed, going out in tomorrow's mail, etc. etc, I emailed the owner. They refused to pay me the $650.00 they owe me. No reason, just lie and avoid my phone calls when they can. In case other consumers even think of this company for moving a car, I am trying to get the word out about them. Following is the statement found on the NY BBB web site. There have been literally hundreds of complaints against them. Don't get burned like I did!!! {[In October 2006, the operators of "Autotrail Transporters" informed the BBB in writing that its phone numbers and address in NY, have been acquired by "A Eastern Connection Co., Inc." and requested that the BBB list its name as "A Eastern Connection". According to consumer complaints received by the BBB, this firm does not transport vehicles in a timely manner. Consumers have complained that after contracting with the firm to transport their vehicles, the pick up is often delayed and they are often made to wait for weeks, even after making several inquiries and being given assurances by the firms customer service department that their vehicles will be delivered. Consumers claim that despite the firm's negligence and failure to perform as promised, they were still charged for services which they allege were not rendered. This firm has a high volume of complaints, most of which denote a pattern of failure to provide service.}] Feel free to run the business or owners names in any search engine and study the results you find. When people get smarter, these a**holes won't be able to get anyone else's money!!! http://www.sickofbeingscrewed.com/read_screws.cfm?ID=732 Professional Service Tue, 08 Sep 2009 12:01 AM PST
