Scammers. Scammers. Scammers and crooks. Placed an order. Cancelled the order the same hour. They shipped anyway. Order was refused. They kept a 74% fee for “processing” the order. Avoid doing any business with these rip-off artists!
I filed a BBB complaint. As I expected, it was a complete waste of time. The Awesome crooks lied at every turn. I have records of phone calls and emails – calls and emails they stated they never received!
Scammers!
If a commercial has this twit as the spokesperson, run – run far and run fast. Run, Forest, Run! This shameless huckster pushes the biggest cons on the web – you know, those trashy things you “can’t live without” like the “Slider Station” and the “Garden Weasel.” Weasel is a good title for this snake-oil salesman. The “shipping and handling” charges for the products and the “free” extras will break you. Typically the shipping and handling is 200%-500% more than the cost of the original item.
For example, my girlfriend was duped into purchasing a Garden Weasel. They tossed is a free second set. Merchandise total: $32.00. Shipping and handling $130 – for a 15 lb box!
The order was cancelled the same day. They shipped anyway – we refused the box. They refunded the $32.00 – and kept the $130 shipping and handling!
This guy only represents scams – don’t believe me? Just Google him – or any of the products he sells. You’ll find THOUSANDS of complaints!
With all the hype surrounding this movie, you’d think it was the second coming. Hell, the part of Klaatu – a humanoid being that has a difficult time speaking or acting normally – is the perfect part for Keanu Reeves. The most memorable line of the original 1951 version “Gort, Klaatu barada nikto” is never used in the remake. Gort lacks the unique appeal he had in the ’51 original. Instead, the military calls the critter a “Gort” – don’t remember what it stands for – some milspeak trashy made-up acronym.
The movie is one of the absolute worst POS I have ever seen. Come on – man is doomed because of the way he treats the planet. Destruction begins. Then Klaatu ends it, sacrificing himself, because he witnesses a step-mom make up with her detestable brat. Huh? Why? If anything, that kid alone would be a good reason to end the human race! The Earth stands still because of a giant EMP – something the military could have done all along. Not because of something Klaatu does in warning, as in the original.
This is a perfect example of why a classic should not be messed with.
PayPal finally replied to my counterfeit item complaint. Their reply, in violation of their own policy, is to return the item to the seller, and await the refund from the seller. PayPal’s policy is to return fake items to PayPal or a third party, not the seller. Yet I have to return the $40 item, insured, with tracking ($7.55 total shipping cost) to the original seller – and trust the seller to issue a refund?!?
Anyone want to take odds on the refund ever being given? BOLU, it’s time to get reamed, courtesy of PayPal and eBay.
I purchased an Extreme III Compact Flash card from seller bazaarus@gmail.com on eBay. It arrived, and was an obvious fake. A call to SanDisk verified this. I left negative feedback and filed a complaint. I also called the seller. “I’ll give you a refund if you withdraw the feedback.” That’s feedback extortion, and against eBay policy.
When I called him, he blew me off. He's a total scam artist! He knows he is selling fakes - that's illegal.
Were you sold a fake card? Not sure?
You can check for yourself (several photos):

The mail give-away is the lack of serial number on the card. You can also call SanDisk and talk to them - they will also verify if it is counterfeit.

You need to file a complaint with eBay and PayPal (if you paid via PayPal.) The counterfeit cards are 1/4 the speed of the genuine cards, do not hold 8 gig, and are poor quality.
There is a link on the item's page (bottom) to report the item.
Please followup and report the counterfeit.
Back in 2004 I paid over $2,000 for a roof leak repair. Yes, I was ripped off by Gasca Contracting – but at the time I thought I was getting a new roof – not a replacement of three squares. Anyway, the roof still leaked. So another $3,000 and 50% of the roof was a tear-off and redo. Well, Bob Gasca subbed the job to someone else. They in turn subbed it to someone else. That person skipped part of the tear off, did not do part of the roof, and made the leak worse. Ridge vents were crooked, and the entire job was not up to code.
It took almost a year to have Bob Gasca actually look at the shoddy roofing job his sub-par sub threw together. He had the same sub redo it. Again, they skipped part of the roof, and did not fix the leak. Two more tries – and a three subs later - they finally did the portion of the roof they kept skipping. And the damn thing STILL leaks. No return calls, so solution. Bob Gasca and Gasca roofing in New Lenox Illinois and Frankfort Illinois is basically a crook. Overcharges, jobs the work out while bragging he’s the best roofer in the state.
Bob Gasca never lifted a finger, pounded a nail, or had anyone in his company work on the roof. He simply found the lowest cost sub and gave him the job. No followup, zero customer service. Yet the New Lenox Lions Club lauds him and publishes photos of this scam artist in their newsletters. Idiots.
Bottom line – NEVER use Bob Gasca, Gasca Roofing, Gasca contracting or any company with his name on it. Call him – tell him Rick Drew want a refund. 815-485-4555
I’ve bitched in the past about German this company, but this is a new one. They are so lazy that they automatically categorize any file not in their safe list as “unknown Trojan.” I buy a lot of shareware and software from smaller companies. I make sure they are virus free. Yet, inevitably, Trend Micro’s lame ass software will “Quarantine” the file, ie, move it. So it no longer runs. Also, EVERY time, I tell the stupid software to restore the file. EVERY time, the error, “Cannot restore file. It is damaged of been deleted.” I reinstall. Within a day, it’s gone again. And “damaged” again.
Get off your lazy kraut asses and keep this POS current!
