It all started in the wee small hours. I responded to a multi-hour paid TV Commercial. The Greatest Vitamin in the World was about to make me rich. For every twenty people who just try their vitamin one gets $1,000. And if you defer receipt of this amount, you'll not only get $1,000 once, but MONTHLY, for LIFE!
Upon hearing (over the phone now) that to double the traffic to my new website I had to pay double, all on Visa... But upon hanging up I suddenly realized that it's just that same commercial I'd been whatching; that's what goes on my web site. And no one even has to try the Vitamin.
That's when it occurred to me: this is just a pyramide scheme or some sort of Ponzi scam. So I phoned them right back. And cancelled it...
Low & behold, in only a few days, I received a package with a video tape inside it. It was labelled "Sample", to get it across the Canadian border, or better put: past Customs... I never opened the thing. I only called them back. And sure enough. They had sent it anyway. They also claimed it hadn't been cancelled!
Nonetheless - I explained that I was firing it back, refused. "No problem" says he. And I did...
That was on Dec 13th, 2'004. I've NEVER received a dime back... Just voice mail messages, to call them. One after another. As if there were something to go over, re-hash or pitch me all over... The only problem is, I can't call back now, 'cause they're only open on business hours. And I'm working. So I've just left countless Voice messages, including angry ones. And nothing!
My e-mail gets returned as undeliverable, by the way. So what do you think? Do ya fugure I've been ripped off?
