I was watching television on April 24, and came across an advertisement for Blue Hippo Computer Funding. I called and they told me about a promotion for a Gateway computer with a free 3-in-1 printer, and digital camera for a down payment of $99 ($124 if you want a bundle of software), and $48.01 to be deducted from my checking account every other week thereafter. Well, something just told me to look their company up on the internet. To my surprise, they were as fraudulent as ever. There were so many complaints about them, even reported by the Better Business Bureau. After finding out this information, I decided to cancel my order. My account wasn't due to be drafted until May 6. They told me that they would cancel my order, but it would take 15 days to stop the electronic transfer from taking money from my account.
By then, they would have taken about $170 from me which would've been non-refundable, even though I cancelled before I received any paperwork, or signed anything. That's a total rip off because they were given a weeks notice of the cancellation, so why would they take money from someone whom they know don't want to participate in their offer. Lucky for me, I was able to close my checking account before they could draft anything. Beware my fellow people!!! Run when you see or hear anything regarding Blue Hippo Funding.
