Giant German Shepherds / Giantgermanshepherds.com Deceptive Business Practice / fraudulent misrepresentation Corsicana Texas

*** DO NOT*** buy from this breeder !

Major bait and switch operation. Great looking website belies the deplorable conditions of these poor creatures.   Multiple dogs and puppies all kept in concrete , outdoor enclosures (puppy mill). Dogs are advertised as limited AKC but then the breeder Ricky Thomas never sent AKC papers to me. Multiple disturbing and threatening emails from owner sent to me whereby owner refuses to send me AKC papers because I would not pay his 3 dollar pay pal service charge.  

Puppies , by admission of the owners wife , are fed ground beef.  

Purchased 2 puppies.  One was sick with a respiratory infection. This cost several hundred dollars in X Rays and antibiotics.  My Dogs are currently 13 months old and are shaping up to be anything but "giant".

Despite vet monitored power feeding , female is 65 lbs at one year and male dog is 75 lbs. Around average size or a little smaller.  
Male markings and body are strange and do not appear to be that of a full blooded German Shepherd, but of this I cannot be certain as the owner , Ricky , refused to send me AKC papers despite being requested by me.  

 

Energy Transfer Solutions ETS Breach of contract, horrible customer service and support and customer bullying for payment when their systems are not complete or functional West Chester PA

We used ETS as a supplier and sales engineering of more than 3.0MM in commercial HVAC equipment and a control system that was sold to us as an HVA,C lighting, and irrigation control system for our indoor agriculture facility but doesnt do even 25% of the stated and contracturally promised functions due to ETS lack of adequare programming  and design.

Throughout the construction project, ETS was repeatedly absent from most design and project meetings which set the tone for their lack of delivery and quality across each and every system component they delivered.  Their planning and dilligence did not exist at all, and they fell way behind on their roughing of wiring, sensors to the point that they could not rough in anything and had to limit their scope of room sensors since they did not make their deadlines for roughing prior to the construction of the walls in all of our cultivation rooms.

As the building was completed by the contractors and turned over to us, all ETS work was weeks behind the deadlines and as a result, most of the equipment was not properly started up, tested and burned in.  This led to major business impacts for us since it was done while we were in production and depended on their systems and their coding / configuration of their control system. 

The project was supposed to be completed 4 months ago, but we are still limping along after paying ETS for more than 85% of total bill, while not receving working equipment across the board.  Half of the HVAC systems do not dehumidify at the levels provided in the specs and submittals and ETS simply walked away on that item and has done nothing in 3 months to address the issues (which are effecting our plants)

They installed 6 dehumidifiers which we were way overcharged for to begin with and never started any of them up (3 months past the due date) yet they are shaking us down and sending demand letters to be paid for work that was not performed.

Their control system may be the worst part of all.  They invoiced hundreds of thousands of dollars for a system that only controls the HVAC units – which dont get to the set points anyway (making the system useless). 

We also paid in advance for service / preventative maintenance contracts, yet they have never come back to change the filters as contracted to do, and now we have units shutting down due to reduced air flow due to lack of maintenance (and these were paid for in full).

We were also bullied into providing close to a 200K deposit for systems that would have been needed for our second phase, which was delayed a couple of months, and while they told us our order would not be cancelled, they went and cancelled it without our approval and will not refund the deposit money.  Furthermore, when we asked them to get the order reinstated, they held us hostage and demanded a progress payment that was nearly twice our contracted amount (1.3MM) to be paid in 7 days from notice or they would cancel the order again.

Buyer beware… These is one company to stay away from as they do not support their equipment or make good on their mistakes (which they admitted to with their control system – yet they are still acting like a collections firm and are attempting to bully us into making the final payments which we are retaining until they get their systems functional and aligned with their contract. 

We had this company order and install 5 different kinds of systems, and not a single one of them functions to the original spec.  They have no ownership of the project and have breeched their contract for work committed and paid for and refuse to make good on their work

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ViaSat, Inc Excede Internet Charged me for service after I cancelled and they had disconnected the service Carlsbad CA

I called and cancelled my internet service on 11/20/2019 which was the first day of the next billing cycle. The customer service representative told me that since I had my account on auto pay, they had already billed my credit card for the next month (11/20/2019-12/19/2019) and , even though they would be disconnecting the same day, I would have to pay for the next month of service.

I told him I would not pay for a month of service I was not receiving. He told me there was nothing he could do and the company would not issue a refund. I asked to speak to a manager and the representative put me on hold for 10 minutes and never came back to the call. I called my credit card and they told me there were no pending charges from that company on that day.

I informed the credit card company's representative that ViaSat was trying to charge my card for services I had already cancelled. The credit card company blocked these charges. My service was disconnected on 11/20/2019. I received a bill for $101 on 12/20/2019 for the month of service I did not receive.

On 11/25/2019, I received the packaging from UPS for me to mail back ViaSat's equipment with packaging instructions and a pre-paid shipping label. The equipment was on the roof of my house. Their technician installed it on my roof, but the instructions stated I was required to remove it and mail it back. It took a few weeks for me to remove the equipment due to not having the ability to get it from my roof.

I retrieved it on 12/20/2019 and mailed the equipment back per their instructions with their pre-paid UPS shipping label. I received a bill for $417.55 on 1/20/2020 for the month of service I did not receive and the equipment that I had mailed back to them.

On 2/1/2020, I received correspondence from a collection agency dated 1/22/2020. The charges were for $509.41 which included the amount that I was billed on 1/20/2020 plus an extra $91.86 for the collection charge. They allowed me 2 days to pay the last bill before they sent it to collections! I am disputing all but $16.03 of these charges and would like everyone to BEWARE of this company. They are scammers.

FPAHelp.org They sold me a shirt I never received.

I saw a shirt based on faith and they charged my credit card for the amount. I never received the shirt and the date they gave me for arriving at my home never happened. 

I have seen further reports on this company and heard about them from the better business bureau.

Don't buy or pay them anything. A FRAUD.

Camping World of Asheville, NC Camping World Camping World Hendersonville, NC Fraudulent and Dishonest Practices Hendersonville North Carolina

I will share my experience about what I consider outright attempted fraud against us by Camping World of Asheville. We completed a deal with the sales manager and had negotiated a $3000 increase in our trade value from what was offered When we went to the finance office to sign all paperwork, as I read through the numbers I saw that they had inflated the sales price agreed to by Several thousand dollars, simmilar to the increased amount given for my trade.

I was purchasing a consignment RV, a unit consigned from a local resident, and they also had added freight charges in the amount of $700. As we threatened to leave the numbers were quickly changed. Why???? Because someone, had deliberately changed the numbers thinking we were too stupid to notice.

Now I will tell you about an orchestrated policy of Camping World that in my view is a pure scam policy. After we completed transferring our belongings into the new RV and waiting to go into the finance office to finalize paperwork here comes our salesman and the sales manager. Camping World has a program that after you agree on numbers they have their tech go through the RV with a fine toothed comb listing every problem they can find, or imagine, about it. They then compare that to a list you make of known problems while filling out paperwork.

In our case our trade was 26 years old. The sales staff looked at it before we negotiated, understood it was 26 years old, and even commented on what great condition it was in. The sales manager gives us an inspection report claiming $5000 of repairs needed. This included such things as window leaks, roof leaks, scratches, minor wear and tear and more.

Mind you our RV never leaked a drop. The sales manager sleeze says we cant complete the deal unless you give us an additional $500. He implied we had not disclosed some of the items (which was a lie) and pointed to condensation on the inside of the windows (it was like 17 degrees outside that morning) as proof of leaking. I laughed in his face and asked him if he knew anything about RVs.

Now using common sense if there was $5000 worth of problems why would they ask for just $500??

Later I met a nice gentleman who had come all the way from Southern Georgia to trade his 28-year old motorhome for another unit. Before he negotiated I warned him about what I thought they would do. Sure enough they had done exactly what they did to us with a bogus list and hit him up for an additional $2000. This program is designed to apply maximum leverage against you to get more money from you.

I went to the general manager who looked at me with some sympathy and said it was a corporate program and they had no choice.

This is pure Marcus Lemonis trade practices. I warn anyone who goes to Camping World to buy an RV to think twice about it.

Also I would like to know how many others have been scammed, or have had this practice of recovering part of the trade in allowance in bogus items.

Remember this is a corporate program that is ripe for a class-action lawsuit against Camping World. I would quickly enjoin such a law suit.

Product or Service Mentioned: Camping World Trade-in.

Reason of review: Not as described/ advertised.

Monetary Loss: $500.

Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.

Camping World Cons: Ceo hot line produced no results, Made me depressed, Inaction by the company after filing multiple complaints, What should be an enjoyable experience turned into a nightmare. I want to stress: I tried to use the program offered by the CEO of Camping World, Marcus Lemonis, “if your’re not happy I’m not happy” —call my office.

I tried to use it twice for this issue and got what sounded like an intern who showed no evident concern or promised action.After the first attempt produced nothing I tried a new case and now they are not contacting me.I also talked with the General Manager of Asheville who thought I was as stupid as I probably look.

He said I wish you would have come to me that day. What difference does the day make. . . .if it’s wrong the GM has the power to fix it.I promised Camping World that their dishonest practices would cost them thousands more than what I lost in terms of actual dollars and customer satisfaction.

Federal Offset Unit I do not have student loan debt. The school closed and was sued in the late 90’s. In the past two years my income tax return has been confiscated by this company.Greenville Texas

The school closed and was sued in the late 90's. In the past two years my income tax return has been confiscated by a company.: US Department of Education. Federal Offset Unit P. O. Box 5227 Greeneville TX 75403 I need my money. I only made $15,000 a year the past 3 years after I lost my good job. I do not have student loan debt. Student Loan ripoff 

Advantage Sales and Marketing Advantage Solutions I was terminated under false accusations. Never was given the opportunity to voice my side of their bogus reasons and statements. CA

This company is one of the worst companies to work for as a sales associate. They consistently lie to their sales associates regarding various rules, events and so-called policies.

Imagine working for them for 5 years and during year 2 asking for a raise because initially told that no one receives more than $10/hour when hired. That was lie #1. New sales reps were gired after me and received rates of $10.50 to $12 per hour to start. When I explained that to the company yes-man he said "NOT TRUE." That was lie #2.

Lie #3 was that he will get back to me shortly with an answer. Well, 3 years went by and no response even after I tried to follow up several times.

There are 5 more lies that I can state, however, it's not necessary because the company only cares about themselves and nothing else matters. If needed I will elaborate later.

One of the biggest lies the company perpetuates is the work they do for one of their clients Walmart (Others as well I'm sure). Those clients are not receiving the results of the work  they are promised. Why? Because they say one thing and do another because of the restraints they put on the sales associates. Those companies are being ripped off and don't realize it. More on that at another time if necessary.

Bottom line is, if you are considering working for this waste of a lieing company, DON'T

 

Asknet nexway, asknet.com Asknet.com Two charges Duplicated Unauthorized subscription monthly

Sine 2018 I have contacted my bank repeatedly to find out what two charges have been. The bank tells me no contact information no email no phone number, and until this week I could not find out how this was being done, they Slipped up and told me it comes through Paypal. I have told this bank numorous times to stop the payment and they say it is pending and they cannot do that…

Sometimes it goes through and I have not noticed until I get the statement and of course call the bank again and they tell me they cannot do anything to end this issue, that I have to contact this company and they never can give me any information on How to do this. At other times when after having paid all lagitimate bills and balance is less than a five dollar amount it goes through, and creates a Negitive balance which my bank then charges me for an ACH charge of 35 dollars and on top of it a negitive balance fee weekly.

Since the bank finally told me, I think by acident because for almost Two years I have been asking this bank about this issue, that this charge goes through PayPal. So I Iogged onto Paypal and saw that in fact Asknet is making Two charges which had been Duplicated makeing it Four payments… One 55.13 Times Two, other is 65.87 times Two !!

I was Unable to Chat with a PayPal agent right away, the wait time was several Hours, with a note saying I would be Notified when an agent was ready to speak with me about my issue, and I never recieved any notification from Paypal. So yesterday morning I found a number to call for paypal, it was Not easy to find..

So In actually getting the chance to speak to a PayPal agent they Fianally made a Claim for me against this Asknet for the period of Jan 2019 through Jan 2020. I have No Idea how asknet got any info to have the ability to charge my bank debit card. I have never went to any asknet.com and as far as I know never have asked any questions on any site that serves that purpose…

I will stay in touch with PayPal and hope for some results, pending for ten days until PayPal will know what answer asknet may give them I will try to Update this complaint and post results of the issue…

American standard moving Company quoted $3865.34 and charged an additional $954. Boca Raton Florida

I was quoted under a binding contract for $3865.34 through American Standard Moving. Upon delivery I was informed I owed an additional $954. They run a very deceptive business and have absolutely no problem lying to you to get a non refundable deposit. They’ve had 53 BBB complaints filed in the last 12 months for the same deceptive practices.

I’ve filed a complaint with the better business bureau, the federal trade commission and the Florida state attorneys office. More complaints are coming. These people need to be put out of business. Once they get here with their additional charges and you can’t pay, they hold your belongings hostage for extra fee. If this isn’t illegal it should be.

I implore you to investigate this company. Not just on my behalf but for the 53 other people who filed complaints and countless others who didn’t. Thank you. I need to clarify that after the $1711 deposit was payed I was told I’d need to pay $950.97 on the pickup end and the same on the delivery end.

The final bill came to $4954. Which means I was roughly overcharged $954. I will provide the documentation so long as this page allows me. If not I’ll be happy to email them.

Addington Station Antiques When I arrived there to look at old photographs, she locked the door on me. Addington, Oklahoma

I called Addington Station and spoke to a woman named Pat about old photographs of the town of Addington and old photographs of the old tall red brick Rock Island Depot that once stood on the west side of Addington, Oklahoma. She said she does have old photographs of Addington as it was in its heyday and to come to the shop and take a look around.

I told her I would be there in about 30 minutes. About 40 minutes later, I arrived at Addington Station at 3:50 on a Thursday afternoon in January of 2020. There were people looking at a memorial near the shop. I stepped out of my pickup truck, and walked over to the memorial and asked if Pat was there. An older man in his 70s told me she was in the shop.

As I was walking to the shop I noticed an older woman quickly walk up to the door. I thought she was going to open the door and greet me there. Instead she turned and walked away from the door. When I walked up to the door and turned the handle it was locked. I peered inside the window on the door, but she was nowhere to be seen from my viewpoint.

I stood there in disbelief that someone would lock the door on me when it was only 4 p.m. and according to the Addington Station website the hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Why did she lock the door on me? I understand that business owners have the right to refuse service to anyone, but this was just flat out rude!

There were still people looking at the memorial, and they looked over at me as I slowly walked away from the door and turned to get back in my pickup truck. I drove off in disbelief and shock. I told my wife what happened and she said that she knew of other people who had similar experiences there. To me it was a waste of time and gas to drive to Addington Station to be locked out.

There was no reason for her to lock the door. It was 4 p.m. The website clearly says the shop closes at 5 pm. I told told her who I was when I called and she told me to come to the shop. I told her I would be there in 30 minutes. She knew I was coming, why did she lock the door on me? In my opinion that was extremely rude! Heads up for anyone interested in searching for old photographs of Addington, Oklahoma.
