Beware of scams from XSV 360 and Dealticker! I purchased what was advertised as Oral B brushes – 12 for $34 inclusive of shipping and taxes – from Dealticker. Dealticker “deal” was supposedly to submit a “Voucher” on XSV 360 website. According to XSV 360, the voucher or coupon holder was to please “allow 24-28 hours after a deal has ended” before trying to redeem a coupon, and to “allow 7 days for delivery”. After almost 2 weeks, the status of my shipping was still showing “processing”, and half a dozen e-mails to XSV 360 and to Dealticker were all unanswered…
XSV 360 was created to run shady daily deals on DealFind, DealTicker, WagJag, SwarmJam, Groupon, WebPiggy, Buy2, JabrDeals, PriceDodger, etc… They sell many scam products like Energy Balance Bracelets with ion technology, Kinoki Foot Pads, fake PNY 32GB SDHC memory cards, fake Vapur bottles, HCG diet stuff, and so on. But one of the latest deals showed really unacceptable support from DealFind with their fake “32GB SDHC Memory Cards Class 10 Powered by Toshiba”…
There was absolutely nothing about “Coupon has free shipping up to $85” in the advertisement on RedFlagDeals, even shipping calculation showed FREE. And only after they got all your personal information during checkout they added up another $85 for “free” shipping. It is just one more “Bait and switch” deal…
Bell is an ongoing nightmare with me, even though I have cancelled them since July. Here’s the entire story. I cancelled them on June the 30th for my home phone and internet. They told me that after a month, all the services would be cut off. WRONG!
Here is a complaint on KTTC – Key to the City Roadside Assistance (keytothecity.ca) program. So far, the customer lost this membership cost, a lot of time, and ~$300 on alternative help because this company refused to help when they were needed the most.
Trueler has received many complaints on Shooting Range deal provided by Gladius International Protection Services Inc on DealTicker – one of the Canadian daily deal websites (DealTicker.ca or DealTicker.com). Basically this deal turned into a scam very fast – shooting range does not exist at all!
DealTicker refused to issue any refunds for this deal and just became a part of the well planned scam. It could be even a joint venture by DealTicker and Gladius International, since DealTicker representatives do not want to cooperate with the customers to resolve the issue and make refunds to all victims.
Trueler has received several complaints about WagJag from one of their clients. It is a daily deal website based in Toronto serving a lot of cities in Canada. WagJag demonstrated unacceptable negligence to the customers. This case definitely has a negative impact on the group buying industry.
If you are going to deal with Marlons Butchery, Marlin’s Fish Shop, Marlon’s Meat or Marlon’s Fish please note that these names are new brands of The Butchers store in Toronto owned by Marlon Pather. The Butchers got very bad reputation in 2011 during their campaign on various daily deal sites like Buytopia, Webpiggy, DealTicker, DealGetters, DealFind and Teamsave. They are known for significantly reduced quality of the products and services. They have also unilaterally changed their terms and conditions several times making impossible to redeem coupons
Trueler has received a report from DealFind customer who has managed to verify The Butcher’s claims of organic meat. It happened that farms could not confirm that they supplied The Butchers in the last 2-3 years. Nobody can tell where The Butchers gets tons of meat daily.
The Butchers shop has been featured by Webpiggy, Dealgetters, DealFind, Dealticker, TeamSave, BuyTopia daily deals websites (did I miss anyone?). There were a lot of complaints on service, products and prices at The Butchers after the major offer on DealFind. It turns to be a scam at some discussion forums. Trueler shows that meat from the Butchers contain starch and carrageenan.
