Returned Item - Poo First, then Cheers

Cats: Refunds, Returns| No Comments »

I went to Home Depot to exchange or return an item. The clerk at the Returns counter refused to exchange it or give me my money back because I didn’t have my driver’s license with me. She said it was against their policy if I didn’t have a driver’s license. Her attitude was not that great either. That was ridiculous, but I was in a rush and didn’t have time to argue or seek a manager. I left very annoyed since I had wasted a half hour and had driven out of my way to go there.

The next day I returned with the receipt and my driver’s license. There was a different clerk there for returns. I just asked if I could exchange the item for another one that fit. She said sure, go get it and bring it back here. I did. She glanced at it and said “is that the right one?” I answered yes; she waved me out as I said thanks to her.

POO to the first clerk for being unnecessarily mean. My hats off to the other clerk for being nice and courteous.

Adsense Wealth Empire Manifesto

Cats: Internet Marketing, Scams| 4 Comments »

I purchased the $97 Adsense Wealth Empire Manifesto ebook from www.adsensemanifesto.com in the first week of May, 2007. Upon reading it I immediately realized I would not be able to implement what was contained in it because it involved too much money and time to implement. It outlined lots of sites, lots of links to different kinds of sites, and in general a scale so large many people would not be able to implement it, including me. Whether or not what’s contained in the book (how to make bug bucks with AdSense) could actually work is highly debatable. They also have a much higher priced up-sell product after you buy the book which I did not purchase.

Roy and Maayan offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee on the ebooks.

I tried to get my money back per their guarantee (return within 8 weeks if you could not use the product), but there is no viable or reachable email anywhere in the ebooks or on the email they send you. I searched everything I had from them and their website and could find no email to use for contacting them. After spending a lot of time looking for their email I did some searches on Google and finally after a long time looking I found some forum posts on the two owners of the site. What I read was not good and implied they were scam artists.

I don’t know whether that is true or not, but after a lot of time searching I found an email for their support for some other (I think) products they had promoted. I sent them an email asking for a refund (3 days after I received the product) at that email address and never heard from them or received any acknowledgement of my request.

Their location does not seem to be in the US and may not be a real address they can be reached at, but in any case how many people would spend all the time I did searching for an address they could be reached at even by email?

Maybe I am harsh in my assessment, but It sure looks like I have been scammed. Unless I find out otherwise they go on my Scam list. This post will be moved to the scam category once I verify from other sources it is the scam it appears to be.

The new cars all look alike

Cats: Cars| 1 Comment »

I saw a new car yesterday and I wasn’t far away, but I couldn’t tell what kind of car it was. I wonder if anyone else has the same problem? Many of the new cars look very similar. Maybe the manufacturers all get together or spy on their competitors ahead of time and purposely try to make their cars look like the more popular cars.

I’m not really complaining, but don’t the car manufacturers have any originality any more? Are the car manufacturers scared to take a chance on introducing a new design?

Does anyone know why so many cars look alike most years?
