J & J towing is an irreputable business (814 Linger Lane)
by xxxxxxxx in Service Ripoffs
On June 10th 2010, J & J towing illegally towed my car from my residence. Upon getting my car back, i noticed some damage to the bumper that had not been there before. I contacted J & J towing to get their insurance information.
The girl that answered the phone informed me that she would not give me the information. I’m pretty sure that was illegal also. I have done some research and found that J & J towing regularly conduct themselves this way. I am currently looking for any one else that has had problems with J & J towing. If anybody out there has had these problems, please reply.
Also please inform the austin police department, the better business bureau, and 7 on your side, as i have contacted all of these organizations as well. If we all work together, maybe J & J towing will get what’s coming to them.

Taxmasters of Houston is a Big Scam
by XXXXXX in Service Ripoffs
To whom it concern,
Unfortunately I signed up with Taxmasters prematurely on dec.9,2009, after receiving notice from the IRS that they were giving my sold business in 2006 an complete audit. Taxmasters informed me that they wanted me to sign a contract, after giving me all these fantastic promises to save me tons of money, as I had seen in their ads on tv. Their salesman mark brisebois, told me all would be taken care of with $6400 so I set up a 5 payment deal using my discover-card.
During the next 2 months they captured $2950 from my acc’t leaving $2400 balance, but then I was told they would not work on my account until all monies were paid. I began reading rip off reports and a class-action suit at that time regarding several disgruntled customers and ex employees who also had more disclosures on the internet.
I am sure you are aware of these patrick cox led scoundrels, and have probably received a few complaints already. Taxmasters of Houston seem to be the lowest of the low, and I am caught up in the middle. My IRS audit is completed and my cpa is attempting to mitigate, and I have until july 21 to respond. He has power of att’y, something taxmasters did not receive for one reason or another.
Taxmasters of Houston phone number is 1-800-682-3679. Fax – 713-463-2945, but it is impossible t0 have any one above salespeople to answer. The last people I was dealing with was pam edmonds ext#6060, or danielle sims ext#5020.
My phone ..
I can give you much more info upon contact. Thank you
Sincerly, steve

Ripoff Martial Arts Contracts
by HateCheeters in Service Ripoffs
I originally signed a 6 mo contract for my child to learn martial arts.
When the 6 mo was up I re upped for another 6 mo. When the last 6 mo was over my child did not want to continue with the classes. When I talked to the billing office because I was still getting charged for a monthly fee even though my child stopped going. I was informed that I had signed my child up 3 yrs of lessons for $3,800!
When I renewd the contract the instructor explained what I was getting and to signed and date the bottom of the contract. Since classes were starting he told me he would finsh the paper work and mail me my copy of the contract.
Needless to say, when I recieved the contract in the mail I didn’t read it. The instructor and I verbally went over the terms and the program has a good rep so I foolishly assumed that something like this would not happen.
When I called the owner of the school he said the only way to break the contract was if we were moving far from the school or my child became physically diabled. So now I pay $148/mo for classes my child doesn’t take anymore and I have at least 1 1/2 yrs to keep paying. I’ve tried everything possible.
Is there someone else who has had the same experience and had a sucessful outcome?

John Morgan Construction in Oregon is a loser
by kalinkalin in Service Ripoffs
Ripoff story: I went to school with this turd. Me and my brother-in-law drywalled and painted his remodel he contracted. I luckly got paid partly by the homeowner, but my brother-in-law didn’t get anything.
He also took money from the homeowner and didn’t finish the job. He took the money and went on a vacation to Hawaii, then filed bankrupcy. I filed a claim with ccb, but since he filed bankrupcy I couldn’t get money from his bond.
What good is a bond then, I could have put a lien on the homeowner, but she got ripped off too. I guess you can’t trust anyone, anymore.
His full name is John Michael Stephen Morgan, don’t hire him, if you do give him a drug test, he is dope head. If you read this you owe me money.
Have a nice day.

DVD VIdeo Scam Everlasting Media everlastingmedia.com Earl Thurston
I had a large collection of home videos on VHS format and I brought them to Earl. He charged me $800 dollars for the work which was never done. I called and called and only got his machine. I am out my money and all my videos. This guy is a big scammer
When I finally did get him on the phone he was completly rude to me and told me basicly to go screw myself. I am not a young person and I cannot afford to fight him. I am very depressed over this. I hope others that read this understand what they are dealing with
Earl Thurston also runs doctorscorecard.com and there is a lot about him scamming people with this also.

Vocus.com took us for 4000$
by richardr in Personal Ripoffs, Service Ripoffs
These guys are sleaze. Vocus.com took us for 4000$ which we are currently trying to get back from our credit card company. Vocus insisted that we needed this in order to make a good online reputation.
How could I be so gullible? The ad I got from vocus.com was a joke. The promise was to push back some negative and untrue stories. When we asked what has been done to do that, no one could ever tell us.
I could lip-sync their replies after a while.

I ordered a trial sample of Dazzle Smile and find that another department called World Club Fitness adds me as a subscriber. Both automatically deduct fees from my bank account.

World Club Fitness to date has provided no service and I cannot access their website to get such. I emailed them at support@worldclubfitness.com after an unsuccessful phone call and it did not go through. HELP……..their # is 1-866-407-3685

Pure Rezver Scammers | Domino Effect of Charges
by Jennifer in Service Ripoffs
Help! Pure Rezver free offer has hidden domino effect of charges from affiliate companies on Visa!
Oh my god! I tried a free product, from Pure Rezver, pay shipping only. I am getting all kinds of charges from companies and I don’t know how to stop it.
I signed up to try Pure Rezver, it said 3.95 shipping only.
I thought I read the agreement only I guess there was more that I wasn’t aware of. I think it was like signing up to a domino affect of suscriptions that I am not aware of.
They charged me:
$12.95 U.S. Sept 30 vibrantbeauty 8668237411
87.62 U.S. Oct 21 improvehealth 8668077356
87.62 U.S. Oct 28 youthsupp 8668087326
I cancelled Pure Rezver through the phone, she told me I was within the time to get credited for both bottles.
Returned the two bottles of Pure Rezver to them, they credited one, said I was too late cancelling the first. They said I was cancelled with everything, said there were no affiliates or anything else. I then got a charge of
24.82 Nov 09 accessmember 8663893868
Apparently I signed up for World Club Fitness and I had to phone to cancel that but they would not refund the 24.82.
My cancellation email from: support@worldclubfitness.com
Please note that canceling World Club Fitness will not affect your subscriptions with our other offers or any other companies.
It sounds as if they cancelled world club fitness but I am linked to more of their offers.
The visa tells me Pure Rezver is linked to many companies and that I just have to cancel as the charges come up. How can I save the 25 or so companies charging my visa for subscriptions with offers that I am unaware of?
Please help!
