Review of kickstarter

Avoid!! KS is full of scammers

They allow scammers to be on their page and when those projects disappear without delivering the products, Kickstarter would not do absolutely nothing to help you.AVOID USING KICKSTARTER.

Review of creativemarket

No response from creator of the action I purchased

I downloaded an action from one of your vendors and it didn't work. I tried everything they suggested I try, and it still doesn't work. I contacted them twice and have received zero response. I have always had very good experiences in the past with downloading from your site, but this one failed me.

Review of BBC

No Stars

If I could give no stars I would. No proper investigative journalism by the BBC at all. All biased. Some of the news & documentaries are laughable. Only use my telly to watch Gaia now.

Review of aaa

This is hard to believe but I had such…

This is hard to believe but I had such a good experience. I’m almost glad my truck broke down El Dorado Hills, California Nick H (aka Nicolas the ridiculous) called me immediately and told me when he was coming. He was so kind, professional, and thoughtful-took wonderful care of my truck and me. I didn’t have a ride home and was planning on hiring an Uber, but he said that sometimes AAA covers that too !   So he talked with his management and they instructed him to take me home which was more than 10 miles away from where my truck was left for service.Wow, I am blown away and didn’t know that that was even possible… thank you AAA for going above and beyond the call of duty, and making a difficult night actually enjoyable.Thank you all for your kindness expertise, and giving such incredible service.  I don’t have words to describe how grateful I am and how much I will recommend AAA to all my family and friends.Thank you, thank you thank youKaren (antidote to the joke on the Internet hopefully )

Review of samsung

Scam. Super Shady

You'd think Samsung would be perfectly safe to order from. Big, well known company right? Until you return a COMPLETELY UNUSED phone that was falsely advertised and they're trying to rip you off for $100+ while telling you you don't owe anything and it was all refunded. Free shipping to me, free return, returned within the trial period literally never set it up, no call, text, or anything. Returned unused in pristine condition, accepted, should be NO servicing fee, etc. No service rendered, I continued using my old phone, it was returned, processed refunded before the first billing cycle (on an account that should've been no interest for like 3 years anyways). According to Samsung I don't owe anything but TD Bank says Samsung didn't close the account. I never touched the free YouTube trial or anything, literally unused phone returned because it was advertised incorrectly and was already a compromise before that. Plus I ordered during a holiday sale and they wouldn't honor holiday prices on a slightly different option. They were full priced at that point and not worth it. Ended up getting something through best buy a couple of months later after looking around. Do recommend best buy.Bottom line, Samsung will promise to fix it every time. They take their time to look into it, eventually you'll get a notice and it seems your account was fully refunded. Yet the financing account that shouldn't exist because it should've been closed before anything ever could bill indicates they want over $100. If I'd activated, used the phone or talked to tech support or used the free YouTube trial that was exclusively for that purchase, I could imagine them trying to pull something Shady but with this? Every time I talk to anyone there they can't see me owing anything, and try to push me off to the bank who tells me basically it's Samsung's account theyre just managing the financing side and Samsung needs to fix it. It's a total scam, they refuse to talk to the bank, I pressured but ended up with the same run around, my account was reviewed by management supposedly and same thing, refunded it's all set. Seemingly it's fixed I don't owe anything and yet another bill comes. I'm still unresolved and it's AUGUST, the return processed in JANUARY.Maybe they try to scam people regularly. Take a little extra, with financing and a large amount, they count on people not noticing. I wouldn't have if I hadn't returned everything properly. They mysteriously think my account is closed, fully refunded and Samsung Financing through TD Bank is still trying to fish for money. Disgusting. Literally everything was done within their trial period and there should be no fees. They didn't even have to wipe the phone. SO THE ONLY EXPLANATION IS IT'S A SCAM. It's not TD Bank, it's Samsung. Crazy. Even crazier is that if the product was as advertised I wouldn't be on trust pilot. I'd be kinda disappointed it didn't have some features (such as a removable SD card) but happy. Instead I got a budget model for 1/4 the price that's good except for a terrible camera. I don't want an iPhone but next upgrade I'm seriously considering one because supporting a manipulative business like this feels so wrong. Based on their overall awful rating on here, seems like I'm not the only one noticing some fishy behavior. Maybe I should post for the Better Business Bureau next, or can you email the IRA? Maybe it's time for a proper audit. As far as I get told I shouldn't owe anything and there's nothing to fix it's already refunded, they don't seem to show any fees, etc which makes sense but someone effed up somewhere so a good audit should get them to fix things for others too. If Samsung ever chooses to fix this, I'll update my post.

Review of coinbase

People don't get this

People don't get this, App they stole $95k in Bitcoin and this company stole all of it. And they made it so I can't get emails because they changed my email to one of their employees. And if you try to call All you get it go to the help and you can get help. It's all bull crap. So beware of them. And I going to blast this on many sites to help you from losing your investment. They are criminals.

Review of vrbo

VRBO owes me 600 Euros

My case involves an offer I accepted from VRBO which they have completely failed to honour. I rented a house from them in the north part of Gran Canaria in February. On our first evening there, we suddenly noticed that the owner had installed surveillance cameras in the kitchen and also in the living area, which was a horrible shock to us and turned out also to be totally prohibited under VRBO regulations. The following morning I had a conversation with VRBO via online chat, they requested photos of the cameras and once they’d seen those they immediately offered to cancel the booking, set up a refund of the rental payment and also give me 600 euros compensation, the compensation payment being conditional on me booking any alternative accommodation with themselves, Expedia, Booking.com or Stayz. I did exactly what they said and booked a new place to stay through booking.com – it wasn’t really ideal for us but it was the only thing available in that area at such short notice. We packed up all our stuff that we’d just unpacked the night before and moved out the same morning.True to their word, the rental money was refunded to my credit card 3 days later, but no sign of the 600 euros. I sent them a couple of emails on the subject and then eventually received a reply stating that they were not going to pay the 600 euros because I hadn’t followed their terms which they now said were that the new booking had to be made with themselves, Expedia, Hotels.com, or Stayz. I replied and explained that these were not the instructions I was given and sent them a Word file with a transcript of the entire online chat conversation where they made the original offer of 600 euros and told me to use (amongst other choices) Booking.com. I then received a reply where they didn’t address my argument at all and ended it with this rather ugly warning:“However, your concern has been heard by our company's leadership, and the decision is final. We regret that we will not be able to respond to any further escalations of this issue. We understand that this outcome may have not been the one you were seeking, but we have to make sure the program is administered fairly. As we have thoroughly explained this matter to you and this decision is final. Any further replies to discuss and/or argue the reimbursement amount will be closed without reply. “It was the promise of the 600 euros compensation that made up our minds to move to a new place rather than stay put and try not to use the rooms with the cameras in them. I regarded the offer as a firm contract with VRBO and I find their current position quite shocking. I did look into suing them in the Small Claims Court but it turns out that (conveniently for them) their operation is based in Dublin, ROI which would make that option extremely complicated and impractical.
