After watching this seemingly straightforward program on TV this morning, I decided to call.
On TV they say its $39.95, but when you call they tell you they'll bill you 4 times for a total of almost $180.00. I hung up and looked on their website and discovered that its less (about $136) and you can either order online or by a different 800# than on TV.
When I called them again, the girl said that the price depended on where I saw the ad! I asked for the least expensive price and she said that it was, in fact, the online price.
I took the rest of the day and finally ordered it around 4:30 PM Pittsburgh time.
At around 8:00 PM I decided to do some double checking online. (I can't believe that I didn't do it earlier!)
Of course my first stop was consumer complaints, and I was blown away by what I read. I then called them at around 8:35 and I told them that I wanted to cancel my order and then the fun started! She started to give me the routine rip-off song and dance about it being to late to cancel and that you need to call a special number which she gave me earlier upon ordering. I said that the only numbers I'm calling are AMEX and the PA State Attorney General's Office to start an investigation.
Luckily, I used my AMEX card and immediately called them and they said, don't worry man, we got you covered.
I wanted to put this entry in because I feel so bad about others who have been ripped off pretty badly. These turkeys are really aggressive.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Now I know what they mean by Winning in the Cash Flow Business.
