Crystal Vision Aka Micro Star Software Aka Broderbund
Ripoff, lied, dishonest, scam

First let me say that I called Broderbund to report that Crystal Visions is saying they are affiliated with Broderbund only to find out that they really ARE! I am shocked that a company I have used and liked for so long is subjecting their customers to scams like this, and endorsing them too!

I was contacted yesterday by "Gary" from Crystal Visions. He told me how great their program was and how I'm being offered a trial membership to their site (like an online Sams or Costco I was told) I only had to pay $19.99 for my trial membership and then I would get a $20 coupon to use on anything in the store. Gary told me they sold inkjet cartridges just like I bought at Walmart or Staples but for half the price. He also told me (and REALLY played up the "kids" part of it) that I could buy my children's software at a fraction of the price... Software like reader rabbit, etc. Well, I fell for it.

I went to the site (I had to wait 24hrs to access site) today and was shocked. I was taken! The software is no cheaper than anywhere else for the "name brand" stuff, and the $20 coupon can only be used on HOT software which is in reality junk that I wouldn't pay $1.00 for! Coupon is not good for what he said it would be good for.inkjets are not what you'd buy in the store. They are compatibles, refilled cartridges, not the OEM that I was promised. Their inkjets are actually 123inkjets.com. I tried to call the company to demand my credit card not be charged and surprise surprise; nobody to talk to. I could leave a message though.: (

I was a sucker to get taken on this deal. I hope this helps others from being taken advantage of also. And phoey on Broderbund for leading these scammers right to my home. I may have to rethink buying from Broderbund in the future as well.
