shady business

I am tired of being ripped off by companies in the US so casually. Since I was 19 I have dealt with at least 20 maybe even 30 seriously bad businesses. In fact some pissed me off so much that I started this site to expose their crooked ways.

Here are the top companies that thought stealing my money was worth being scum bags

The #1 company that ripped me off

Good old Bank of America or BofA - These crooks charged me six months of late fees on a account that I closed and paid in full. They said a charge happened after I closed it for $6 then charged my $20 a month for not paying it. I only found out about it when I went to buy a car and the car dealership said that I owed these jerks $200.00. When I called them I asked the girl why they didn't send me anything about this and she said I had a bad address on file. I said what was it that they had on file. It was not even my address. So they scammed me by changing my address to charg me ridiculous late charges without notice. All this and they screwed up my credit when I was only 19.

- Bottom line -
BofA and all there main stock holders are low life money hungry scammers.


The #2 company that ripped me off

Sprint PCS - These total fricken crooks flat out without a doubt scammed me for extra money when I canceled their phone service. I signed up for the their service on vacation, the sales guy was nice and showed me the coverage map with my city perfectly highlighted and the plans looked good the phone was nice all was peachy.

Then everything really turned to crap:

I got back home and noticed the phone service doesn't work in my area, so I called sprint and they said yes it does work in my city. Soon I found out it does work for about a mile at the very bottom of the city the other 15 miles well I guess that didn't matter.

It gets worse, I called them and said I will eat the price of the phone but I don't want a monthly plan that doesn't work in my area. They said too bad and recommended a roaming plan which I got and used for the fricken full year..

Finally my plan runs out, I'm stoked to get a new phone so I call them cautiosly because the have all ready screwed me before. I said ok I'm ready to cancel my service they said you have to wait until after the one year which was a week later.

OK a week later I call and the canceled. The guy says that they are going to cover my whole area and they will cover the cost of my phone for 3 months until that happens. Against my better judgment I said ok

What a mistake they put me Back on a one year plan, they never said this will extend you plan or anything of the sort.

So I called back and said I want to cancel about a month after the one year I realized I don't want to work with this company ever again.

The lady was nice and said even though the guy extended the one year she canceled it with no penalty and she said she would pay for my last month. Iwas thinking wow they just redeemed themselves.

I was seriously mistaken.

She just flat out lied so I called again after receiving a bill a month later and another rep said they would waive the cancel fee and close the account.

Lied to again.

I called again keep in mind these calls take about 20 minutes to connect and you have to basically type a secret code to find anyone on their phone system.

I called back and the guy said my account was closed and I owed nothing

I am excited I even had a ritual burning of the silver bullet looking phone (by the way it broke after two months and the warranty didn't cover it because they said the sweat in my pocket made lines in the lcd screen)

I went to Cingular which I have used happily since.

It's not over.

I get a bill six months later from Sprint saying I owe fore a month of service and a early cancellation fee. I call them mad, but I am going to be subtle and try to resolve this. They said who are these people I spoke with (like I know their names and they would give me there real name if they where lying) The lady then said sorry we cannot help you and if you don't pay we will post it on my credit repot and send me to collections.

I then said screw you and all the other obvious pissed off crap and hung up. Man I just got royally screwed by this piece of shit company.

I finally got it taken off my credit report since trw among others credit reporting agencies get so many complaints about sprint wrongfully putting people in collections. I forced the collection company to stop calling.

To sum it up they tried to screw me in every way they could get their hands on and in the end the only reason why their was any justice is because I had to work my ass off to keep my principles.

- Bottom line -
DON'T USE SPRINT PCS, THEY ARE CROOKS!!!


The #3 company that ripped me off

HBMS.com/Humboldt Merchant Account Bank - These jerk offs had more fees in their fine print then Mexico has chili's. When I wanted to cancel from their software not working they hit me a early termination fee, a cancellation fee, a processing fee, and they charge $300 for software that never worked. I can't believe they get away with flat out ripping people off like this. I was so pissed I told them I was going to go up there and pay them a visit. Then the sheriff called me and said not to so that was that but still I am pissed.


- Bottom line -
HBMS.com/Humboldt Merchant Account Bank are pointless to risk your business with when you have great services available from Wells Fargo and most local banks.


The #4 company that ripped me off

www-hosting.net and whnbilling.com - Man this guy total ass hole owns both of these extremely crappy services. I went to test out whnbilling.com and I couldn't believe this guy. First of all he flat out lies and says the script is open source which it is not. The if you dog deeper it says 80% source which it is not. In fact when I got the script and counted encoded vs. source it was actually about 20% source I told him this and he had no reply. I said I want a refund he said TOO BAD I used Paypal and he wins every time someone tries to get their money back from them. I said what you fricken ass hole piece of shit, you get a kick out of ripping people off? You piece of shit!

He hung up then.

- Bottom line -
Do not do business with www-hosting.net and whnbilling.com, it is one compete ass hole running both of them and giving him even one penny is more then he deserves.


The #5 company that ripped me off

McFunSoft - Wow these low life idiots actually had the nerve to rip me off for a mere $35. It clearly says on their website that they offer a 30 day money back guarantee yet when their crappy software proved to be worthless they would not honor the guarantee.

All I can say is wow I can't believe they would compromise there business integrity for $35.

But I guess when your software is worthless you have no choice but to rip people off.

The truly horrid software I wanted a refund on was called: McFunSoft Audio Studio

And I think it is truly worthless, save yourself $35 bucks and hours of wasted time and go with acoustica.com's mp3 converter. After seeing the difference you will wonder how these scum bags sale even a single copy of their junk.

- Bottom line -
McFunSoft Audio Studio is a horrid excuse for a mp3 converter program and McFunSoft is nothing more then a bunch of crooked idiots. There are far better programs with more respectable companies supporting them.


Companies that are not scam artists or thieves.
These businesses just suck at something really bad!

The #1 company that just pissed me off

Xboxlive.com - These jerk offs make it so painful to cancel it could easily take you hours. Then they change it so if you change your mind you have jump though hoops again. I spent almost 20 minutes digging through their piece of shit website to find how to cancel and finally found after searching for cancel xbox live. If it wasn't for Google I might of tracked Bill Gates and threw a tomato at his greedy ass. He has 1.4 million gamers and he still has to do the shady girlsgonewild scam. So screw Bill Gates and screw Microsoft for being such shady characters.

The #2 company that just pissed me off

Verizon.com - Holy shit these guys have the first flippen customer service in the world. How they remain a player in such a high rollers competitive market is amazing. I know for a fact as soon as any real competition comes in they will be rolled over in a second or quickly change there sorry asses before they get black listed from every American! First of all when you call you get a fake girl that tries to act real. This is just stupid, if we are talking to a machine then have it act like a machine not a some cheesy 1986 robot horror chic. Then it fuck's up and repeats itself all the time, "sorry I did not understand" "Sorry I did not understand" piece of fuckin shit!!!!! At this point you are 15 minutes in and nowhere even close to where wanted. Like to flippen cancel their shit. So finally it understood me, but it still sent me to the wrong department where I was on hold for 15 minutes, only to have some dumb bitch say sorry this is the wrong number try this number. AND GIVES ME THE SAME NUMBER I CALLED.

So at this point I don't argue and hang up and get a soda.

Now I call back and slowly say "DSL cancel", doesn't understand, "cancel DSL" doesn't understand. Billing, one moment. What is the number your calling about. blah blah don't know I only give out my cell and a 800 number. Anyway's 10 minutes roll by and finally me and computer voice bitch work out our differences and she says hold for billing.

Great I mad it, sweat

As I am on hold i notice it saying after a minute that if my DSL is not working to unplug the router and blah blah blah. I don't want to hear it while I upset about waiting and the fact that it has nothing to do with me. But wait it repeats after about 2 minutes. Shit this sucks I have to hear this stupid computer voice bitch even more, over and over about something I don't want to even hear. Shit but I can handle it so. 15 minutes pass and nothing just this fucked up recording haunting my deepest memories.

until finally a recording changes and it says sorry this department is closed. What the fuck!

Closed I look over and it's 5:01.

While on hold for and through 40 minutes of crap they decided to chuck my flippen call.

Amazing this is what we consider service. In contrast i went my masseuse after (I had to rough day) and they where nice, everything worked, got what I paid for, got smiles and nice human tones, then left happy.

Anyway's tomorrow I am going to call Verizon again, I guess two hours before they close and update this from there.

But for now. Fuck Verizon's customer service and bullshit answer service.

 

Missed the next day but called two days later and...

I got the machine, which after about 7 minutes got me to a person who said "sorry this is the wrong number" Not surprised I said what's the right number. So I called it and it was right so I cancelled, now even though the whole reason for this was to upgrade to the business DSL they did not give me any breaks and charged me up until that day that I canceled. I do not expect them to do otherwise but if it was my customer I would of offered something since they where upgrading.

Anyway's problem solved.. finally.

The #3 company that just pissed me off

webhostingtalk.com - Screw these jerks. They banned me from there forum because I advertised DWHS Web Hosting, I was working for them at the time. It was in the add section and it was based on the rules yet with no email or nothing they shut my account down. I was active and spent time making contacts there and was banned for one add.

Here why they are scamming piece of shit's.

They kick off any real hosting company that is active that they feel is a threat to there hosting company. They are connected to rackshack.net ev1servers.com and rackspace.net and .com

They act like it is a community but it's really just another tasteless scam to promote there own web hosting company. Granted they did a good job but it was based on lies. All I'm saying is be honest, if you want to kick people off because they are a threat then say so, it's your forum and your right. This fake lying crap has to go, and until you get your priorities straight puts you here with all the other shady rip offs.

The #4 company that just pissed me off

AOL.com - These guys are not that bad compared to the rest but they do block chunks of the internet from there customers without letting there customers know. And there chat rooms and email are used to get more money from there customers in a shady way. They filter out competitors so that their customers use there affiliates. A ISP should not be limiting there customers to make more revenue, it's shady and unfair business to the other hard working ISP's that do it right.

The #5 company that just pissed me off

tucows.com - Also these guys are not that bad probably just lazy but they have downloads with spy ware without telling you you are downloading spy ware Download.com does it right and says if the program has spy ware or not. Just a little icon guys and you would be a great service but without it you are contributing to hackers and spy ware scammers.
