Design Savers Plan Looks like complete fraud. I was double-charged on my visa for enrolment, and the company was completely unresponsive. I was bounced from one phone extension to another; everyone played dumb. I faxed a copy of my Visa to their HQ in Colorado twice, and never got a reply. Furthemore, no pharmacist in Cleveland ever heard of the company Aurora Colorado
I was double-charged on my visa for enrolment, and the company was completely unresponsive. I was bounced from one phone extension to another; everyone who answered played dumb. I faxed a copy of my Visa to their HQ in Colorado Penthouse suite twice, to the attention of Reuben and never got a reply. Furthemore, no pharmacist in Cleveland ever heard of the company
$369 was quoted as the enrolment fee. But TWO charges of double that amount appeared on my VISA bill. I called every day between Nov. 10 and Nov. 21, trying to get someone to explain this double charge. Everyone who answered at Design Savers played dumb. The recorded message said press 4 to get billing; but the persons who answered at 4 said they did not do billing. I was transferred from extenstion to extension, from "Department" to Department, and no one had an answer. Finally someone gave me a FAX number to call with instructions to fax copy of my VISA statement showing the overcharge. I did this twice, on Nov. 19 and Nov. 20. Attention: Reuben - but no response.
Several times I have tried to get prescriptions filled for my family, using their "Design Savers Plan" card. No pharmacist at Rite Aid, Walgreens, or Wal-Mart had ever heard of this company. This company is a complete fraud. I will survive the money lost, but I fear for all the others who have been taken by these jerks. Why are these frauds regulated and prosecuted? Are health insurance laws really this loose?

This has absolutely nothing to do with health insurance. You were fooled by the impressive-looking website.

It's not the health insurance industry to blame here. Granted, they are crooks too. But, in this case, you're dealing with a crook who made (copied) an impressive website. Listen, ANYONE can put picture of nurses and doctors on there. The whole idea was to FOOL you into thinking they are a medical insurer. These idiots never applied for any insurance license. What people fail to understand is that the INTERNET is unregulated. Anybody can put up a website. You buy a domain, and pay for a year's worth of hosting. Do you know of anyone who is out there checking IDs before they put your site up? I don't. Here, let me show you just how easy it is, David. I know how to make flash animation and work the javascript. So, let's make a website that says that you are a design engineer. Let's put an impressive picture of a bridge or a skyscraper on there. We'll make a phony list of all the projects that your firm was involved with. In a few short weeks, people will be contacting you about design projects. You get on the phone, and talk the talk. Then, you hit them up for some money. Let's call the fee a project-analysis retainer. Or, how about a consulting charge? Pick whichever sound better. Before you know it, people will be messengering over checks. Big checks. And, David, you have absolutely NOTHING to do with engineering. All you did was make a phony website. It's that easy. For some crazy reason, if your website looks the part, people will go along with the scam hook, line, and sinker. You actually went into a pharmacy and tried to use their phony card! You sent your money to a fancy website. There was never any insurance. These idiots have nothing to do with health care. Here's what I always tell people. NEVER, ever buy anything off the internet. Eventually, this phony site will go down. Of course, another one will take its place. What will they be then? Maybe, auto insurance? How about homeowner's insurance? Home protection savers plan. How's that sound? Do you see what I mean? A thousand trusting people are going to do the exact same thing that you did. Go online and order the gold home protection plan. They'll type in their credit card number and assume that they just bought insurance. Now, are you beginning to see why you never buy stuff off the internet?

Maybe next time you should ask your local pharms about a drug plan before you buy it? The company that makes Vioxx also has an online drug service which can supply all of your meds, and maybe for less that your local pharms. I use them, but it's because they are also a "partner" that supplies drugs for my company's benefit plan... so they may be less and they may not be less but it won't cost to look.
