I even chatted on-line with a representative from Dell who thought it sounded too good to be true. You saved me a lot of grief with the warnings. I have the vouchers and letter on my lap and will be ripping them up. Thank you.

It’s pretty damn pathetic that in this day & age, these CRIMINALS are allowed to blatently RIP PEOPLE OFF and the Government drags their feet or does nothing to stop them. The first clue that these people are a RIP OFF is that they don’t give you any phone number to contact them. I advise the people that did get ripped off by these crooks to travel to their address at 1555 Regal Row in Dallas, Texas and have a little fact to face chat with them (hint hint). Most people work to hard for their money these days to be ripped off by some LAZY PIECE OF CRAP CON ARTIST like this. DON’T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT or they will keep doing it. If everyone files a criminal complaint with the Feds, they will have to act on it. DO IT and lets put these losers in JAIL!!!!!

I almost laughed out loud when I looked through their crap they sent me in the mail. They wanted me to just hand over my credit card info and just sit and hope that they send me some outdated, overpriced junk?? I’m sorry for those of you that fell for this scam. I googled and found all kinds of complaints which just confirmed my suspicions. Please, if it looks too good to be true, then it is. And never ever buy anything from any business without first googling the company name and “scam” next to it… see what you come up with. And thanks for the blog, you explained everything well–I hope more people read it!

Thank you, to everyone that tries to help out there fellow man! You have heart & that is always something that is needed in this world about a year ago I got a check in the mail with a letter that said I won this money it was a lot $$$ I called the number on the check to see if it was real it of course was not so I reported the matter to the BBB & of course the bank that day I sent the original letter & check back to the bank BUT I also let the bank know that I was copying the front of the check & the letter to send them to the BBB I received another check about a week latter I called that number knowing that is was bull but the scammers changed the number on the check to a number that they had so again I contacted the BBB & let them know that I had gotten another check & letter that was about the same they were surprised that I got two, They said that had never happened before LOL… always ALWAYS!! Look on line there are awesome people in this world that care & do not want anyone to be ripped off.

I have looked into this and it is strange that FL and NY cannot sign up for this. If FL and NY who are part of the US cannot sign up for it, then something must be up.

I lived in TN as a teen and brought a few non electronic items in the late 80’s early 90’s that I am still using today and did not have a problem with it other than the last few items I brought in the mid 90 to late 90’s came COD and was a wow price for shipping.

Now I live in FL and was wondering why I have not received mail from them. Sounds like I was one of the few lucky ones that did not get burned other than the high shipping cost…which was never seen listed anywhere on any of the paper work I seen.
