BEWARE OF PHONE SCAMS
On 6/17/10 
I was contacted by phone yesterday by a man using the name Mark Anthoney he claimed he works for a company by the name of: Northern American Management.  He said he needed my banking info. to re-deposit the sum of $399.00 which was a scam by a company named Medaflex back on 2/13/10.  I told him I didn't have the same account anymore and that he would have to mail a check to me which He agreed to.  Later that day I tried to call the phone number he gave me 1-888-322-0086.  To my surprise the phone was answered by a recording that didn't mention the company's name and  when I tried to leave a message another recording came on and said "sorry but the mail box your trying to reach is full please try your call at a later time"
Needless to say I still have not been able to contact them.
My $399.00 ...

DO NOT send your Ipod or Iphone to this company for repair.  I have had a total nightmare with these people, and now I no longer have an Ipod and they will not answer phones or respond to e-mails.  The "company" may have closed down, although their website is still up and there are still recordings on their phone line.  You have to pay for their services before sending your Ipod, which bothered me but I wanted it fixed.  You also have to pay ahead of time for "return shipping".   GOOD LUCK getting your IPod back.  I am irate at being treated this way and having my property taken from me, but I know of no where to turn.  At least I can warn other people.

Do NOT take your dog to this woman for training, or let her come to you!  I had a 3 hour 'training' session that consisted of 2 hours and 55 minutes of non stop talking and 5 minutes of actually discussing the dog. 
Rather than actually trying to train in that last 5 minutes she put a shock collar on the dog!  I declined anymore of her 'training' and just took the loss.
The talking wasn't even about training or my dog.  This woman cannot stop talking about herself and it's all about nothing.  Blah Blah Blah about how great she is at everything.  She claims she has trained trainers and any trained not trained by her is worthless.  She rarely takes a breath so anyone can get a word in.  I had to interrupt her anytime I wanted to say something about my dog and she would then go off on some story about herself again.

Ameralisgrafx (run by a man named Antonio Meralis, of Union City, NJ, USA) claims to be able to take an old Star Trek toy and create a working product that looks like the original, plays MP3s and makes sounds from the shows. He accepts paypal payments and promises the product in 6-8 weeks (conveniently, this is long after paypal's consumer purchase protection expires). I sent him a series of emails, each one of which he answered with a promise. After 7 months, nothing. He eventually stopped answering my emails. I have since heard from several others who were conned by this scammer. He maintains a slick website, where I assume he is continuing to take orders that will never be fulfilled. Please do not waste your money. If you purchase from this man, you will never see the product OR your money!
 
 

Bought a house plant online from their site.  Plant arrived and is nothing like the picture on their site, it is one-third the size that is pictured on their site.  After corresponding with them and telling them I was a customer in the past, they blew me off.  They said they will work on their site to improve their pictures - what good is that doing me?  Also, I was informed that there is a 15% !!!  restocking fee if I chose to return the plant.  They gave me no satisfaction.  They more or less said, "Too bad for you".  I also told them I would send a picture of the plant I received so they can see it is one third the size of the picture posted.  Disgraceful customer service.

 Don't take offer of  cd for "free trial". Their rip-off comes by phone or online. I saw it online and put in my name and address. I DID NOT GIVE THEM MY CREDIT CARD NUMBER. I had been ripped off that way before when I gave another company my cc number just for postage for "free trial." And I was charged the full price for the item (Hydroderm). However, I thought I was safe this time because of my experience before, I did not enter my cc number. And I tried to go back to previous page to erase my address,etc. but it was already blank.
How is it possible that there are 2 charges on my credit card I didn't  even give them my number. AND did not received any cd for "trial"????  I NEED HELP.

You don't get what you pay for!  Beware!  I paid $34 to get two death certs from people that have been dead for over 3 years.  After paying my money, neither of the certs where even found!  I contacted the website, which has no phone number, and via email they informed me that this service is "as is" and that nothing is guaranteed.  I would think that death records on two people that have been dead for over three years would be available somewhere esp since their is an estate, etc.  I was very unhappy with this service and their customer service.  Keep your money!
