Scam Scam Scam Believe it. Read the other posts here and notice the similarites. No sale, no buyer, no answers, no results, no refunds. Unprofessional sales reps insulting you when you demand answers. So called managers, supervisors, customer service reps, Sr. Executives, and on and on all with the same bs but no results. Consider this. Companies like this designed from the top down to get your money using any means possible. Phone reps hired off the street without an application or backround check working a carefully written script with a variable fee determined by the sales rep's or closer's ego. Tell them you have half of what they're asking on you credit card and I'll bet the price drops. Most only work a few days because it's all commission paid under the table. Everyone in the office, or apartment, is using an alias, with a made up title and a temporary internet phone account with an area code from Boise, Idaho. who would ever think of getting scammed from Boise, or Ft Collins, or Lincoln, Nebraska? These people can say or promise anything because they have absolutely nothing to lose but your sale. And if you ever get to the point of demanding answers they are rude and ugly to you because they already have your money and you don't even know what state they are really in or what their real name is. Think about, it fits most of the complaints here. Who do you complain to?? Customer service? That guy just has a private office in the bathroom. They stand around the back door during cigarette break laughing at each other's biggest conquest of the day. Who they insulted the most and still took their money. The better business bureau? In what city or state? If you live in Alabama and think the company is in California but they are really in New York who is going to take the time to find out who and where the bad guys are. When things get bad for the business and income is down, they just change the business name, change the employee names, change the internet phone numbers to Lexington, KY and probably stay in the same apartment, er office, in New York City without missing a day of scamming. The only way to protect yourself is to listen to that little voice in your head and not give up your hard earned money. Ask lots and lots of questions and demand sensible answers. Take notes, record all the calls! Tell them that up front and see how that works out. Research how long the phone numbers have been active and the website too. Can you call them back after hours? Does the website list the other people in business and their phone numbers? Can they send or fax you a business card with their name on it? Or any of the management's names? I'll bet the fax machine isn't working at that moment. Ask for mail from their location to verify the postmark. How about verifing the companies officers and phyisical address. Heck, ask for directions to their office and tell them you'll come down to run your credit card in person. I'll bet they can't answer any questions about the city they say they live in. Probably just moved their or something. DEMAND your own escrow service if you're still not convinced but don't give up your money first on promises. One last thing to consider. If you are still not convinced, consider having all your personal info and credit card number floating around forever on a lead sheet copied a thousand times and passed around among the Sr Executives, customer service reps, account specialists, etc. Or maybe it will go in the shreader after the quick and profitable of your time share. hey, it could happen. Call me what you will but the proof is in the results. Tell them you'll be happy to pay their made up, variable fee at closing from your escrow account because their aren't any refunds from this company.
