Complaint Review: Silver King International

This company first contacted us by phone, calling themselves a 'research' company doing a survey.  They said it was for research purposes only.  A few weeks later, they called back and talked to my husband, and told him that I had filled out a survey with them and wanted them to come out and demo an air filtration system.   They had enough info from the survey that my husband thought it was someone I had talked to about this, so he set up the appointment. 

I then realized that the telephone 'survey' was nothing but a way to try to get around the 'no call list' rules that says companies can't call you to try to sell you something.  They do a bogus 'survey', and then hope your unsuspecting spouse answers the phone next time and thinks this is a company you know. 

When the guy showed up for our 'demo' appointment, he insisted he wasn't selling anything.   Riiiight.  I asked for a card, and he didn't have one.  He put me on the phone with someone in his office, and I asked the name of the company.  She said 'STA Research', and I asked for the company phone number.  There is no such 'research' company, but the phone is registered to Silver King International, a manufacturer and seller of vacuum cleaners.  Gee, but they aren't selling anything.

What a sleazy way to try to sell their worthless, overpriced vacuum systems!  They are junk, and the 'free gifts' they give you are worth less than the paper they're printed on.
