Goldline International Inc www.Goldline.Com

100 South Tower
Santa Monica,California90404

On march 23, 2010 I purchased 20 gold lira, 42 units, for $15,390.28 from Goldline International Inc
Last week (I’m a retired senior citizen) I returned the Gold to Goldline International Inc for liquidation. At the time I purchased Gold was selling for about $1,100 per ounce.Today’s market Gold was selling for $1,824.00 per ounce. They paid me $14,859. They charged $150 for processing and $15.00 for A wire transfer.

Even though gold from my time of purchase has increased in value by $700 per ounce, I wind
Up with less than I purchased it for. I feel that I was Ripped off for at least $500 and more re:increased price
Of gold. Be careful in doing business with Goldline International Inc  people.
I wound up with $491 less than my original investment. This is a buy low and sell high operation. I lost
Approximately $500 when the gold market is going Sky high. A few days ago Marco singer said the would
Cash me in for $3.75 per coin. This would be break even.
Now I’m almost $500 short

Comcast Xfinity Internet Bundling SCAM

by xxxxxxxx in Service Ripoffs

Comcast Xfinity Internet Bundling
Bundling has become a real racket with  Comcast Xfinity Internet. Imagine they have a package for $99. per month for internet,telephone, and LIMITED TV. That is $1188.00 per year. After all that , Comcast Xfinity Internet have the nerve to tell you there is a $50. INSTALLATION charge.

Mind you, they want you to do business with them but, they want you to pay ALL their labor involved in putting you in position to do business with them. What’s next,are gas stations going to charge us for putting a hose on the gas tanks in order to charge us $3.79 a gallon for gas?The problem is that there are actually FOOLS out there that are paying for the installation of Comcast systems so Comacast can make money off them.

Hello,are we getting that stupid?. To ask someone to pay $50. to do business with you is absurd. When are we going to wake up? The only way to stop Comcast Xfinity Internet, this type of robbery is to stop buying their products. For crying out loud people,let’s start showing some intelligence and stop jumping through hoops for these MULTI  BILLION DOLLAR companies. They will screw the a– off you ,

IF YOU LET Comcast Xfinity Internet Bundling SCAM.

SAMSUNG BLU RAY PLAYERS ARE A RIPP OFF!

by STEVE in Product Ripoffs

Samsung Blu Ray players cannot play Blu Ray DVD s! I have contacted Samsung Tech support 5 times Jan-August 2011 asking why I can\’t hear sound on Blu Rays from NETFLIX. Each time they tell me that I MUST wait until they do another firmware update.

I BOUGHT A BLU RAY PLAYER SO THAT I COULD PLAY BLU RAY MOVIES and Samsung admits that are receiving many calls but they do not honor my request to repair or replace the unit under warranty. Just wait on more and more updates and then your warranty will expire.

Thats what Samsung talked me into doing! Continue updating and someday it may work is what I was told each time by tech support. That is utter nonsense. BUY ANY BRAND OTHER THAN SAMSUNG OR YOU WILL GET RIPPED OFF TOO!

‘Glasses USA’ are Scammers!

by Henry moller in Service Ripoffs

Tried to buy rimless glasses from Glasses USA.  Bifocals,  ‘Glasses USA’ sent back glasses with the top of
The bifocal in the middle of the lens !  I sent them for adjustment……..they lowered the bifocal 2 mm.
Still I couldn’t.  see out of them !  They only permit one return !

Now , based on their claim to ‘guarantee satisfaction’ I want my money back.
They will only return 50 per cent. ,
Why? Because they only return 100 per cent when their product is faulty.

Their product WAS faulty !

Glasses USA forget it…….go.

Someplace reliable………

Magna Furniture Co. – are Scammers

by xxxxxxxx in Personal Ripoffs, Product Ripoffs

CAUTION (4001 S. Buckner)
This is just a warning to others to think twice before doing business with Magna Furniture Co.

In my opinion Magna Furniture Co are unscrupulous, greedy, dishonest and discourteous.

I recommend that you do yourself a favor and heed this advice.

I am a middle aged male professional who works in law enforcement. I usually get along with anyone and I am not one to complain too often.
However, I just feel that they do not act like professionals and they do not seem to care about others.

This is just my personal opinion but I would want to know if there are places out there that others have had bad experiences with.

I have written it in a manner that I hope does not offend anyone other than possibly those who own and/or work for Magna Furniture Co.

Peace and Happiness to all.

Safe Link Wireless Phone (boston)

by UnhappyCustomer in Product Ripoffs

For this past week every other commercial on tv is for Safe Link Wireless Phone available in case of an emergency. Then they go on to tell you that there is free 411, minutes can be saved, texting is free, and the phone is free. If the phone is for emergency purposes then it should be just that – not free minutes to chat with friends. For every 411 I call Safe Link Wireless Phone it costs $1.25 and everything else is extra.

Why, as a taxpayer, am I obliged to pay for mine and my children and then find out that these Safe Link Wireless Phon are free to everyone else. Before you call me a bitter old man let me explain something – I, too, came from another country. There was no help of any kind available. We worked and worked to get what we needed and what we couldn’t afford to pay we did not buy. I have a tenant in one of my homes.

This is the scenerio: She is 34years old, she receives section 8 at a cost of $l,500 a month, she has medicaid so she has no medical expenses for her or her two children, the kids both have free braces, she gets food stamps, she knows every free program available that pays for your heat and water if you have a hard time and she has two relatives who work in a state agency that puts her at the top of the list for anything free.

Oh, she owes me over two years rent (her share) but after taking her to court three times the court decided that I needed to have the house deleaded because of her 4 year old AND she could stay until she finds another place to live. In the meantime I have paid over $120,000 in taxes to the IRS and I must have shortchanged them because I received a notice that I still owe them $8.78 for 3 years ago. There is seriously something wrong with this picture.

I find out today that a friend of a friend now has Safe Link Wireless Phone, although he has his own private phone, because he was told he was eligible for it so he took it. Another friend is in the process of helping a neighbor fill out a medicaid application because she knows exactly what they are looking for. Oh, this woman is healthy, able to work, owns a home, a new car, big screen and partys every weekend. Cruises every month are a given.

I feel used, abused and unable to do anything about any of this but I almost lost it when I received the $8.78 bill for 2007.

Welcome to America where the streets are lined in gold – and Safe Link Wireless Phones this is what they told us when we arrived!
