I purchased an overpriced magazine as a gift for my mother on 9-7-02. After I agreed to buy the magazine the kid selling them told me about the $8 processing fee and that it could take up to 120 days to receive. I should have cancelled, but I was trying to help him out with some points for something. I think they were for college money.
Anyway, it has been four months, and my Mom has not received anything. I tried to call their "customer service" number on my receipt, but no one is there. The phone answers after about 15 rings, and a security code is requested. Since I don't have any such code, I was just simply disconnected.
I called information for Ultimate Power Sales, Inc, in Sugar Hill, Georgia, and the woman didn't even find a listing for Sugar Hill, Georgia, let alone Ultimate Power Sales, Inc.
I feel very foolish to have been taken on this scam. I will never buy anything from a door to door sales person again. I was just trying to help someone out. The magazine was clearly overpriced.
If anyone from this company could contact me with a valid customer service number, I would appreciate it. Perhaps if we actually received the magazine, at least then I will have just overpaid, and not been completely ripped off.
If I am not able to either receive my money back or get the magazine, I will be reporting this company to the better business bureau and to the appropriate state senators to ensure other people are not ripped off.
