ProductTestPanel.com - RetailReportCard.com ripoff scam hoax unfair practice empty promise difficult to complete total joke Columbia South Carolina
Ok, I just HAD to post another complaint against this company, since I saw ONLY ONE against them.
Essentially the other guy only seemed to have Spam Problems from them. But the main thing these guys are doing is setting people up. They promise a $1000 shopping gift card to major chains, like Costco. And even bonus gifts upon completion of "All the terms", like a free laptop too! So, you're thinking WOW! All I gotta do is buy a few things, fill out a survey or two and jump through some hoops, and maybe spend $200-300 for products I might need anyway... like printer ink.
Ok, I did that too. But, according to the 'terms' you gotta choose 2 'offers' at each of 3 Tiers. Tier one and 2 only gave me 8 and 5 choices respectively. Of those only about 2 even seemed remotely legitimate. But, I did them, and got through it. But here is what Tier 3 holds for you! You gotta buy 2 of only 3 choices, and each choice is over $1000 approximately... AND it's stuff you would likely NOT want or need... like a $2000 jewelry box... a European vacation WITH train rides as the main element... OR how about kids furniture with a $1500 minimum purchase (when each set only costs like $600). What are you gonna do buy 3 sets of kids' furniture?
THAT'S THE SCAM! They make it so rediculous at the last step... there's no way you'll jump that high! Therefore they're making money on their referral programs, and maybe 1 in 1000 people might actually do the last step!
There it is in a nutshell!! I'm somewhat of an Internet veteran, and I've been avoiding these things for years. I just wanted to see about the $1000 Costco thing... you know for food for the family. But, they got me too! I thought maybe I could really read into the details and jump through the hoops, and just turn around and jump back out... NOPE! They get ya'!!
