Ebates DISHONEST, FRAUDULENT, TAKES ADVANTAGE, SCAM, DECEPTIVE, NO REMORSE Internet
I recently went to the site EBATES.COM. I believed this site to be a realistic site where I could shop, make purchases and actually get paid. Was I out of my mind, a site like this is too good to be true for an avid consumer. I am APPALLED by what EBATES did to someone who would have been a loyal and long time customer. Now don't get me wrong, EBATES did pay me $.19 for two small purchases that were made, then came my larger shopping spree. I was to receive 3% back from an AT&T purchase. I logged on to EBATES, clicked on a Galaxy Alpha offer, was brought directly to AT&T site and told all you need to do now is SHOP! And that's exactly what I did, purchase a $619.00 Alpha phone, which I should have received 3% back on. Of course, for some strange reason it wasn't on my purchase log that I had gone through the Ebates site. I immediately emailed EBATES explaining my experience along with what steps I had followed and my online reciept. At first they couldn't accept it because I made it on the phone, then I showed them my reciept. Then it wasn't within the time frame, I showed them the date. Finally, I didn't go through EBATES. I asked how I would know about the offer they were advertising and why I would know the EXACT steps and purchase the EXACT phone they were offering and not use the site. No explanation, simply SORRY we can't assist. I am appalled by what EBATES did to me, I could have purchased ANY phone I wanted but figured why not get some cash back? Guess what, I got scammed. Do you self a favor, they don't confirm purchases and the same will happen to you, STAY AWAY FROM EBATES!!!
