Sweepstakes Clearinghouse Ripoff! Dallas Texas
Last week I recieved a $400 voucher to use towards a product that I could purchase. I was considering getting the laptop until my husband looked at it and noticed that the laptop only had 64 MB RAM, 3.0 GB Hard Drive, no CD Writer, and no DVD player. So we decided to call the company and ask which operating system was on the laptop, but there wasn't a number anywhere in the pages that I recieved from them. We decided to try to find the number online and fortunatly were successful (1-800-762-3302).
When we called the person that I talked to told me that the laptop had Windows 95!! Microsoft doesn't even support that system anymore. I then asked if I would have to pay shipping and handling (by this time I was pretty pissed) and the lady told me that the shipping and handling would be $57.00 and I WOULD have to pay that. I then asked how long it would take to get it in the mail and was told 5-7 business days. When I brought up the fact that I thought it was a ripoff she told me that it was not a scam and that if I did not want to purchase the product then I didn't have to. To be frank.. she was not very friendly about it.
So I just wanted to warn some of you guys out there about the SCAM that they are trying to pull. But if you call and say that it's a scam they will not be very friendly towards you. Just thought I would let everyone know exactly what kind of shady bussiness they are running.
Oh yea, In 1998 they we sued for $90,000 by the state of Iowa for not compling with consumer state protection laws! Watch your back with this company, they're out for money and don't give a crap about you!
