Domain Registry of America - DROA.COM tops it!  Here’s a company that should win the ‘Biggest scam that ever existed online’.  This company sends formal letters to registrants to renew their domain names, making the clients think their domains are about to expire, but in actuality, what they’re sending is a transfer request to DROA. Clients then send checks to DROA, not refundable […]

Here’s my experience. I ordered a restore CD and paid $21. CD arrived safely, but not readable. So I called Gateway asking for a replacement, Gateway customer rep. insisted that I cannot get a refund. I said ‘I don’t want a refund, I just want a replacement’ - Then this woman said ‘If you’ll shut the ‘hell’ up I […]

Here’s what I’ve gotten as a result of selling an item on eBay to kennyfuruya (eBay buyer) 

EBAY SELLER LOSSES:
a)loss of three phones (Retail price totalling $150) which were working before shipping, and which the buyer claims are “defective” although he refused to ship them back to us, so there has been no verification that they are […]

My son was born in October of 2002 with a syndrome that caused him to have an underdeveloped right ear, two holes in his heart, and a tiny, narrow trachea.  Loma Linda physicians failed to identify his tracheal defect, despite our panicked insistence that he couldn’t breathe, and they planned to wait “until he turned […]

“Free” credit report strikes again — AAA Advantage is a scam.
Free credit reports are not free.  My husband unknowingly committed us both to charges of $11.95/month by requesting a free credit report from freecreditreport.com.  It’s no wonder they can afford those annoying commercials. ”Free” credit report strikes again!  AAA Advantage is a so-called free credit report […]

The slogan of Southern California Edison should be: “Because You Have No Choice.”  You can’t survive without their service, and they’re a monopoly, so they basically have you cornered.  Worse, if you bounce a check twice with them, they’ll make you pay your bill in cash, in person, and then require you to pay an $1800 […]

The TV ads for this product are so convincing that I finally decided to try it.  I went to their website and chose the $19.95 trial set, not realizing that I was in fact signing up for their “Clear Skin Club.”  (What a joke, but more on that later.) 
I was so hopeful when I started […]

Verizon is yet another monopoly screwing us because we have no choice.   Verizon not only makes you pay to keep your number, but when you request call forwarding, they’ll lose your order until you lose your number.  They’re too inept to give you one account for multiple numbers, so if you have multiple numbers, you’ll have multiple […]
