Direct Buy Complaint - What a Scam - Wholesale Purchase

Wholesale Purchase - Complaint
Review by citiman on 2010-01-09
PENSACOLA, FLORIDA -- My Wife got sucked in to accepting an offer for a "Free' 30 day membership and that started a continuous barrage of High Pressure phone calls that are still going on. I told her it was a scam but who listens to a Husband when the wife is determined to refurnish the house for almost nothing. I am 78 and retired from a lifetime of Executive sales and marketing positions for two of the largest Automobile Manufacturers so I know about " Scams". Any way as many people report they Insisted that we both had to come into the store for the " Open House" She told them that I am 80 yrs old and somewhat senile and she had the income and made all the buying decisions. They were totally inflexible and asked if she had a Power of Attorney, that's the only way she could come without me.

Then she got mad at me for never wanting to do any thing with her etc. I then went to the Internet and showed her the complaints and that ended it! She is currently telling our Neighbor all about the Scam and how she should have listened to me. Caveat Emptor!!
