Complaint Review: All American Advertising

I was contacted by this company; I had no idea how they found me. I was pressured by their sales person. I declined their offer promotion which was if I purchased one of their items, I would automatically win one of five fabulous gifts. I told them that was ridiculous, not happening and hung up.

I was contacted again by Bob, a step up from sales apparently, telling me not to miss the opportunity of a lifetime. I told him no. He called two or three more times. I finally caved. How embarrassing for me. I can't believe I let myself get had. I then contacted Tony, the big boss, to tell him how unhappy I was. How quickly the warm tone of Bob turned to rude and condescending with Tony the worm.

I got the $400 pens. They are crap. If they write, it is only temporarily. I then received my packet and scratched off to see what I won. It certainly wasn't the $50,000 or cadillac.

I won a trip, a cruise to the Carribean. The word cruise is hilarious. First, you pay your own airfare. When you get there, you get on a cruise ship for a day trip to the Bahamas, Freeport. There you get put into a motor lodge. I read about this fine resort which isn't anywhere near water. People who have been there tell horror stories of their visit. Women should not stay there alone lest they be propositioned, you can buy drugs...the accomodations are "icky", you get the picture.

You then get shuffled back to Florida where you get to stay in the same kinds of motels in two different locations, but no transportation is provided for you to even do this if you wanted to.

My intention is to send the pens back and try and get my credit card to reverse payment to this sham of a company. They should be put out of business.
