I am only a teen. Any teen (almost any teen) when receiving a winning sweepstakes confermation, is going to call the number. I am their #1 example of a sucker to target! Young, gullible, and always ready to accept "free" offers.... Yeah, free... uh huh. I need the little money I do have, to get by. They took an equaivallant of at least a weeks worth of food, that I now might not have.

My oh my marc, Is there a name you don't have for your fellow employees? You sound like a bitter nasty man that hates the fact that he has to work, I somehow get the idea that you would be miserable anywhere you worked. You are the type of person that I (how did you say it?) a trailer trash, ex hooker, junkie tries to avoid ever having to encounter. you need help not us. I spleep at night pal, just like judges,lawyers, doctors and any other person with a mortgage to pay. Just say no! You know marc you work at nme as well, I think you need to go on Prozac or something. I have integrity and morals, you do not. If you did you would not be so judgemental towards your fellow human beings. I only hope that I never have to bump into you in a dark alley, I have a feeling I would not live to see another day.

I have 3 to 4 kids a day calling in to answer the "Cheatskates" entry form they recieved. And, an average of combined 'hang-ups' and 'no credit card entries' of 53%!! Nice to see that the National Rip-off Deranged has their act together. This company is so poorly run it just reeks! The managers have no college or professional training, no conflict resolution skills to speak of. When you confront them after they've levied a charge against you, they accuse you of being argumentative.

It is fun to intellectually bludgeon them! Confuse them with logic, it's the only way to fly! The office is filled with sorry looking K-mart rejects who wouldn't know what style was if it hit them in the face! Believe me, you are not fit to tie my shoes, or open my doors.

I would never be seen with you outside of that glamorized money pit that you call an office! Well, in all fairness, I know that the people there want to watch their bottom line, which could explain all of the high school drop-outs they hire to run the place.

#8Consumer Suggestion

You have got to be kidding. Between Melissa and Chris, NME employees show us how much crap is really going on.

First off If this girl is under 18, NME can not hold her liable for ANYTHING, by sending a minor this crap, shows how much NME likes to try to screw people over. Secondly If this is a minor posting, who's CC was used? And way did NME allow it? I don't recall her saying that she used a CC. If someone doesn't have or use a CC, after harassment via NME to have numerous people get on the phone to try to get one from you, they will send you a bill.

What's NME employees gonna' sat when the crap hit's the ceiling, and if the FL government has anything to say about it, it won't be long.

Hey melissa, how's it feel to prey on innocent, ignorant people? That's right, keep justifying what you do as acceptable just because you get paid to rip people off! The mob gets paid to rip people off too, so you're in good company! The sooner I leave this company, the sooner I can cleanse myself of the corporate greed and filth that surrounds me! I'll never forget my experience here at this 'company' it has only confirmed what I have felt about corporate america all along! Melissa, so glad you like your job at the 'National Rip-off Derranged', hope you sleep well at night dreaming of the most vulnerable members of society that the company is blatantly targeting. I only hope I am working the day they shut that trash heap down! I will be cheering openly , as the handcuffs are placed on those empty suits!
