Vontage is a Scam

Vontage is one big scam
I am not sure why I still receiving emails for Vontage. I have had a
problem with your company from day one.
1) Devices came to me smashed
2) I returned it at my cost, no offer to reimburse
3) Second device received is refurbish equipment
4) Once set up, it was not what your sales person promised.
5) Called to cancel (Took 2day to get through, shame on you... Your
Support offices in India answered much quicker and were more responsive
then US based idiot I spoke with to try and cancel), agent who answered
was rude and claimed to be also a manager, (I hope for your case this is
not true) very unprofessional. Wanted to charge me $300 for canceling
something that never was used or provide.
6) I will be contacting BBB, as well as local and federal commission to
report your business practice installed.
7) I will not pay for something that did not deliver what it promised
and never used and sends used parts to new customer.

You should be ashamed of your sleazy practice. I will be sending an
email to all my clients, friends and family to alert them of Vontage.

This incident occured at the Mississauga Site.

A friend of mine was scheduled for surgery at this hospital site today, me and my friend were previously advised by the doctor that my friend is allowed to have one visitor to stay overnight with him on the day of the surgery, and it even states that in his surgery package that he got way before the surgery.

At the day of the surgery, between 8-9pm they announced on the speaker that visitors time had expired and no visitors are allowed in the building, so I asked a nurse if I am allowed to stay and she said "yes as long as you don't go wonder around room to room and bother other patients, I don't see why you can't stay".

At 11:15pm I had to goto the washroom which is located outside of the patient rooms beside the elevator and there was a door locked which is between my friend "the patient" room and the elevator, so I asked the same nurse if she can open it so I can goto the washroom, she opened it and said "when you come back come and knock on the other door that is on the other
side and I'll let you in".

When I came back and knocked the door, another nurse saw me and started speaking with there nurses, then opened the door and advised me that I can not stay and would have to leave due to their policy, I advised her that I was just inside and how I was told its ok to stay, I also advised her that my friend's surgeon said its ok for me to stay and on the surgery package,
it clearly shows that one visitor is allowed to stay overnight. I overheard another nurse saying "Dr. Wilson never says its ok to stay and if he doesn't leave then just call security and have them escort him out" then I came forward and said "you don't need to call security, threaten me and treat me like this, if you want me to leave I will, I never said I will not leave, I
am simply trying to solve this matter with you"

I even spoke to the head nurse and advised her that the doctor had advised the patient that I can stay and so we requested the patient chart and surgery package so I and my friend can show her that it states one visitor is allowed overnight, but she refused to show me and the patient the chart, she asked me to leave so I left.

From this awful experience I come to learn that never to stay in Trillium Health Centre - Mississauga Site, the response that I overheard from the other nurse threatening to call security on me for no valid reason shows how unprofessional and bi**h**** she is, I couldn't believe that Trillium Health Center will allow such nurses to work with them!

True, the hospital was clean. However, the nurses on the department where my friend was, the nurse I spoke to was VERY rude. This was a very unprofessional and the nurse should've dealt with the problem and let me see the surgery pack or the chart since I was responsible for my friend's health and safety. His immediate family was not available and that no one in
his family drives.

Long time Client of a Charted Bank refused to access his/hers funds!

I had two certificates of deposit @ a bank. when need came to withdraw funds because of hardship I was lied to, ignored, promised but never delivered and sent on numerous trips to the bank for no apparent reason. What should have taken 3 weeks took 5.1/2 months with disasterous consquances both financialy and personally. Tried for more than 2 years to recover some funds or even an apology. What they offered me was a mere $1,000.00 which I declined.
Please pass it on to everyone who got used and abused like me and let the bank know how they treat long time clients.

Thank you,

Pizza Pizza Store# 33

Pizza Pizza
2241 Bloor St. W.
Toronto, ON.
CANADA
416-967-1111
Store# 33

This store is across from Laura Secord, the nearest intersection is Bloor & Runnymede.

This location has given me headache and I haven't complained about any of
their mistakes like my burnt pizza, missing change, and wrong orders.
However, It is now time for me to speak up. There was a promotion on their
flyer for a free month of DVD Rental on zip.ca. This promotion occurs when
one orders $9.99 or more in food orders. I placed my order with Pizza Pizza customer service and my order was $17.00+ including
taxes and I called the call centre in downtown toronto to ask if indeed this
location has the promotion and the coupons that are involved. It was
confirmed that the store indeed had it. I didn't care much however, I was
curious about the whole DVD Rental thing. When I got there they told me they
didn't have it. I am an understanding person and this was no big deal.
However, an asian man was rude to me. He told me that they never had it and
that I can call customer service if I wanted. I was in "control" as he
proclaimed. I thought this was a very rude remark since I had an awesome day
and I just wanted to ask about a dumb coupon. I ignored it and when I went
back to that location, since I was hungry later that night, I ordered a
snack pack. For $6.00+ taxes I got three strips of chicken and 4 measly
onion rings with my order. It sucked big time. I was so bugged and I think
this was a way for the guy to get back at me. I didn't mean any harm when I
asked about the coupon. He couldn't stop talking the second time I came in.
His eyes were blodshot red like he was smoking some dope or m.j. I was
really bugged. This is not customer service. Clearly this man is not able to
work at all. I couldn't understand a word he was saying. This is Canada for
god sakes! You're here to know at least English! I don't have anything
against people who don't speak English but, this is the land of the free and
the least you can do is do the country a favour and learn how to
communicate. I thought Pizza Pizza had awesome customer service. Even I can
do a better job than he can. He was just unfit and was there unwillingly.
Just tired, all that Pizza Pizza can say is, we will put a notation on your
order regarding the coupon. That is all. Some customer service I got.

T-Mobile HotSpot

T-Mobile HotSpot runs an unethical operation: If you purchase 30 days of internet access from this sleazy outfit, they are set up to keep billing you every month. If you cancel (as I did) they will "conveniently" forget that you canceled and continue to bill your credit card WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION! There should be a law protecting consumers from this crooked practice. For automatic renewal each month, you should have to explicitly request this, not have this be the default. It is far too convenient for them to "make a mistake" and steal your money. And T-Mobile should have to reimburse everyone that has been adversely affected by this unethical scam!

American Express "Loan Shark" Interest Rates

I closed my account one year ago. Since then I've had three late payments (1 day late because they moved the due date back and forth). Subsequently, they raised my rate to 29.74%  I called and asked how long it would remain like that, and they stated that since the account is closed, they can't "adjust" the interest rate. It seems to me they were able to "adjust" the interest rate UP just fine. Other credit companies will lower your rate back down after 6 months of on-time payments. Not American Express.

 

Asheville Realtors "Beverly Hanks" The Butts Holes of Asheville

I feel they did a bad job for me, I asked to meet with the owners and they refused....

I had used them two times before but this last sale was bad....

Capital One Credit Card

I keep receiving Capital One Credit Card applications by mail that I had never ever requested, there is not even a return address on the envelope so I am not able to return the envelope back to sender.

All the offers that I receive from this company says the approval is guaranteed which is obviously BS! If you read the fine print it says that they would have to do a credit inquiry on you to see if you could be approved, and just incase you didn't know that everytime a company does a credit check on you it will affect your credit rating which will make your credit look bad!

This company is a scam, not only they lie but they also charge rediculous amount of money.

Never NEVER trust Capital One Visa or Mastercard Credit Card.

I have called this BMW Dealership about a week ago and made an appointment for today to have an Audio input auxiliary adaptor installed in my car, They scheduled my appointment for today at 8:00 am.

When I got there at 7:55 am they were not able to find my appointment on file. I then spoke to the person who booked my appointment and he did not even realize that he had made an appointment for today.

After spending about 2 hrs. waiting for an answer, finally, the service representative advised me they can get the part by 3:00pm and I would have to leave my car at the dealership all day to get this installed. However, they will NOT be able to honour any warranty if any static occurs after the installation. If BMW can't make a warranty or any guarantee on the installation, then they shouldn't offer the service in the first place. After all, it cost a lot to install and a customer does need assurance that everything will be up to snuff.

I also spoke to the service manager, He said that BMW Canada had advised Town and Country BMW to warn any customer who wanted to install this audio-in adaptor in their vehicle about the issue that any static caused after the installation will NOT be covered under warranty. I called BMW Head Office and 2 other BMW dealerships and they told me that they have not heard of anything like this before. They also said there were no bulletins or recall information on the part or for my vehicle. I figured this only has to do with Town and Country BMW.

Sadly, I decided to go into another delearship besides BMW that CAN give me a guarantee on this service. This is the very first time that BMW has screwed me over when it came to customer service. I had the impression that BMW reigns supreme when it comes to treating their clients right since I saw them being voted as Customer Service Excellence or something along those lines. However, this experience had made me very uncertain on what their abilities are when it comes to customer service excellency.

Ho-Lee-Chow

Ho-Lee-Chow

I had a very bad experience when it came to ordering food from this restaurant. My bill was roughly around $80. I ordered Sweet and Sour pork and there was very little meat and tons of uncooked vegetables and also the meat itself. The meat was bleeding and the veggies were still raw. I even saw half of an onion uncooked in my meal. I do not suggest getting take-out from this place. They do a half-ass job on cooking the ingredients and more effort on making their food cost an arm and a leg.

Garmin Streetpilot 2730 GPS

This is a great GPS but I would NOT give it a 5 star rating like how others rated it! The built in FM Transmitter is very weak and it produces a lot of static so I got no choice but to install an audio in adaptor in my car so I can connect the GPS to it.

I hate to do this and run more cables from the GPS to the auxillary input but I got no choice.

I've only had this GPS unit for 4 days so far and so far its great except that only one thing above, I would give it a 4 star rating.

Imani Christian Day Care

In June, 2004, I entered into a written agreement with Imani Christian Day Care in Lithonia, Ga to purchase my day care business which I invested over $100,000 in between 2002 and 2004 of borrowed money. Mr. Meredith defaulted on the agreement to pay $3,000.00 monthly for 18 months after making 1 l/2 payments, and after the owner of the building, Jason Leary, approached him cutting me out of my lease agreement on the building.  I am financially devastated, losing everything I've worked so hard to achieve for 30 years.  I don't even have enough money left to hire an attorney. 

 

I had an attorney who held up the case for a year and a half, working pro bono, and then without explanation, dropped the case.  I regret selling my business to Mr. Meredith and have since found out that I am not the only one he has scammed.  He is a real con artist.  He needs to be exposed. The owner of the building, Mr. Jason Leary, who is aware that I increased the value of his building by $100,00. is also a heartless SOB.  I have been seriously suffering for two years and they are both enjoying the fruits of my labor and I can't do anything about it.  I don't answer my phone anymore because of bill collectors and have been very, very depressed. 

 

My life as I have known it, no longer exists because of what they have done to me.  I trusted Mr. Meredith because he is a young minister who presents very well and had what appeared to be two state of the arts day care facilities, but he has been evicted from both buildings which I thought he owned.  A real smooth operator.

POPN LIFE CO, POWER OF PEOPLE NETWORK

POPN LIFE CO was started by the same scam artist who founded the illegal private gifting scheme POWER OF PEOPLE NETWORK.  He scammed people by telling them that his program was morally, legally and ethically based.  As most of you know, private gifting clubs are illegal in all 50 states.  This man has a criminal history and MULTIPLE civil judgements against him from vendors, ex-business partners and other people.

 

What is disturbing to me about his new venture, POPN LIFE, is that he is requiring new members to fax him copies of their social security card and driver's license. Personally, I would not be comfortable turning over my SSN to this person especially with his criminal history and pattern of scamming others.

 

He does not disclose where the company is based, who are the corporate officers or the phone number.  You have to pay via cash sent by MoneyGram, but he says he'll pay you by check. 

 

I say be wary of this new company.  You can verify the scam by going to www.google.com and (using quotes) put in "POWER OF PEOPLE NETWORK".

CONSUMERS WINDOWS AND DOORS

I called a sales rep from CONSUMERS WINDOWS AND DOORS  to give me a price on a door. So he measures two doors and a window. So he gives me an estimate for the three items and asks me to sign. As a dummy I sign. My wife gets home and wants to know a price for a door and not the three items I mention above. I call the salesman and he never gets back to me. So I call them up after two weeks and cancel. Long story short, I was taken to small claims court. The total bill was 3800.00 and the judge said since I signed I should give them 500. and walk away. The lesson I learned is not to sign anything especially when sales people come to the house.

Sleep Country Canada. Why Buy a Mattress Anywhere Else?

Sleep Country Canada, Why Buy a Mattress Anywhere Else?

Well I could most definitely tell you SEVERAL reasons why you SHOULD buy a mattress someplace else OTHER than Sleep Country!

About a year and a half ago I bought a mattress from, you guessed it Sleep Country. I figured with all their satisfaction guaranteed advertisements it would be hard to go wrong with this purchase. But boy was I wrong!

Just about a week ago I was vacuuming my room, a weekly ritual for me as I like to keep the house clean and dirt free, when I came across a bug. As I vacuumed the little creature up I looked around and saw another one of his little friends and soon found a whole community of them intruding in my room near my bed. It was not long until I realized that these creatures were coming from my mattress!

The following day I called up Sleep Country and spoke to a representative there, explained to him my situation and the response that I received was that I would be contacted in 3 days. I was left with no solution to my problem and no promises to a solution. So I patiently waited until they called me, which by the way took more than three days, and I was rudely told by the supervisor of Ontario region Mr. Asir Shaffeal that bed bugs was not covered in my warranty and that it was basically tough luck! No “sorry”, no offers to compensate the inconvenience caused to me, just a mattress that was obviously either poorly made or had some sort of defect in it that attracted these bugs.

UPS

I called UPS and spoke to Dorine, advised her that I had opened an account with UPS last week online and UPS was supposed to email me the account number the next day but they didn't.

Asked her to transfer me to the office where they open accounts and she said they don't have such office and the only thing she can do is take my info and request for an account to be opened and they won't get back to me until tomorrow!

Advised her I need the acct# today to ship, She transfered me to her manager Louise and Louise sounded very nice and polite, she said she will look into it and get back to me.

When you call UPS at 1-800-742-5877 OR 1-800-PICK-UPS , You only have 5 options and you do not have an option for accounts! Most options are only if you want to ship something or to track a package, UPS should invest in option #6 for accounts.

Wonder Bread

This is very sick but true!

I work at the Wonder Bread factory that is located in Mississauga, Ontario, CANADA.

I do not suggest anyone buying their bread, people that work there are pricks and when some of them are in a bad mood, they pick their noses and asses on purpose and then touch the dough and some even throw their pubic hair and bugers into the dough.

I would not suggest anyone buying their bread, it is very dirty.

I thought I should share this with you! :)

Bowflex Sport

Hello, am writing to tell you not to buy any of the Bowflex items they have for sale, My husband and I bought the Bowflex Sport a year and 2 months ago and have been very upset since we received it.  Now we are happy with the workouts we get but they do not explain all of the pricing accurately. My husband asked if paying for this equipment was like having a credit card and the sales person responded no, yes it is in fact it is worse. In the last year or so we have only made 3 late payments, and the other payments that were on time and only 11 dollars has been paid towards the principal. It is just a rip off and they will get you any way they can.

Tim Hortons

I hate it when Tim Hortons fills up the coffee right to the top, I just came back from Tim Hortons which is located at Jane & Dundas on Dundas East of Jane in Toronto, Ontario, and they filled up my coffe right to the top and while the Tim Hortons employee handed the coffee it splied in my porche!

A lot of Tim Hortons locations do that too, I think one day they are gonna get sued cus they forgot to put the sentence "Coffee filled up right to the top and may spill" on their cups! :)

They should either:

A. Get better and more secure cups
Or
B. Never fillup coffee right to the top.
