Steambuddy - Steambuddy.com (as Seen On T.v.) Fraud, Stole from my checking account, autorized charges w/o permission, rip off! Internet
I called the 800 number as the product I first saw on TV. They advertised for only $19.99 you would get a steambuddy which is what I've been wanting so I don't have to spend a lot of time ironing my clothes in the morning. They offer 4 free gifts if you hurry & order & all for $19.99 but it's an $80.00 value.
When I called it wasn't a live person, just a computerized voice. Each FREE gift that was offered they said click one to add the linen brush for an additional $17.95 plus addtl 6.00 for S&H. They did this with all free products advertised. Basically if I would have pressed 1 for each item they said was free if I ordered at that time it would have been over $100.00! I pressed zero & only agreed to purchase the steamer at the $19.99 plus the shipping which was only $4.95. I was looking at my bank statement today because I transferred enough money in there to cover the charge. It showed a 35.00 overdraft fee my bank charged me because the steambuddy company charged my account $69.95! I have disputed the charge with my bank but am furious I have to wait 2 weeks to get my money back.
They are dishonest & lie. It's a total scam & I'm sure they figure people won't check their statements & can get away with it. I just read they have sold over a million dollars worth of these things so I'm sure you can imagine how. There is noway in the world anyone would be stupid enough to pay this I hope. They say it's an $80.00 value but each item priced seperatly totals well over $80.00. Beware of this company & if you did purchase it, please look back at your bank or credit card records! I just love that they stole money from a young single mother with 3 children... NOT! I wish I could get double the money back for all the hassles I've had to deal with!
