A gentleman came to my door selling coupon books for people in wheelchairs who play basketball. He stated this was a coupon book for my area, that there was a free oil change coupon and 6 free birthday dinners. I agreed since we needed an oilchange and wrote him a check to pinnacle advertising. After looking at the book, I noticed that you have to be a Northville resident in order to get the free oil change and that is about 25-30 Minutes away from my house. Looking more carefully thru the book there were quite a few coupons that were not for this area. Places that are 40 minutes or more away. I called the number on the book... 4 calls later I finally get in touch with the area rep and he told me on Fri. The guy would bring my check in turn for the book back.
Needless to say, he never showed. They immediately cashed my check and then actually called me to see if I wanted a job with pinnacle adv. For $37-$40,000 a year base pay. They thought one of my phone calls was for a job instead of a complaint. Poco was the name of the owner for that office. You think you're doing something for a charity, as small as the effort might be just to find out that the company representing them is full of crap. That's awful. From now on I will only donate directly to the organization.
