Unhandled Perception

Electronics retailer Best Buy is facing a lawsuit over deceiving customers into paying higher prices once in store by having two Web sites, one accessed by employees and another available on the Internet.

Bound to have happened. Read up to see where it all started.

Tzome.com has been sending me numerous spam email to my blog email account and how could you ever trust a website that uses spam as a method for getting visitors. In my opinion I would highly advise anyone to avoid tzome.com and support their spamming ways.

Tzome.com how many times will you send me spam emails? When will tzome.com stop sending me spam?

The funny thing is this is the start of the email:

Thought you should know of a new music site I stumbled across.

even though it was sent from Dan with an email address of Dan@Tzome.com – stumbled across his own website I guess.

ThinkAll, an internet software scamming company, may be doing business again under the SSL connection. They are supposed to be shut down per the FTC. Someone at the FTC needs to hear about this.

Under pressure from state investigators, Best Buy is now confirming my reporting that its stores have a secret intranet site that has been used to block some consumers from getting cheaper prices advertised on BestBuy.com.

Seems that Best Buy may maintain a special intranet site at its stores so that it can show customers that discounts, that customers found in the internet, are no longer available.

What I hate is he stole the images right off my blog post. Some people just can’t think for themselves and must steal other peoples posts. Oh, well I hope Nitesh Gautam enjoys the post about him stealing posts from someone else’s blog…

Kinda of sickening and the reason I fix the computers of my friends and people I know. I just can’t let them go somewhere like Geek Squad.

Finally, after all that work ThinkAll has been officially shutdown. I would like to think it had something to do with my very popular post about the scam they were running.

The Commission vote to file the complaint was 5-0. It was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Sherman Division on January 9, 2007. On January 10, 2007, the court issued a Temporary Restraining Order enjoining the illegal activities of defendants Think All Publishing, L.L.C. and Yuri Mintskovsky and freezing their assets.

Well, you may but some people just have no clue. I had written a blog post on a campany called ThinkAll who has scammed many, many people. You would be amazed at the amount of emails I get threatening me as if I was the company.

Here’s one:

I do not want the four “FREE” cds which is an illegal fraud by the way. If you charge me anything. I just installed one today. If you send me the damn address I will return them. So l couldn’t send them back in 10 days or else (wow, I’m scared). Amazing how hard it is to find you. I could care less whether it is 10 days or not. All future shipments from you will be returned undelivered and you will owe postage.
If you charge me or send more I WILL GO TO THE ATTORNEY General’s office. I have done this several times when someone like you tried to rip me off with “free crap.” I will also reverse the payment with the credit card company you billed and explain to them what the deal is. So here’s the deal:

cannel my “membership”
either send me an address or I will simply throw away the cds. If you want them back give me an address.

I am not bluffing. You guys are jerks. CANCEL everything. It is supposed to be a “voluntary and free item”. You can not force people to accept thing and then charge them. I don’t know about where you live but it is against the law to do that in Indiana.

I expect a reply canceling my member, an apology, and an address to send them damn things back. You have 10 days jerk!

I have a very good attorney. Don’t screw with me or I will sue you besides talking to the Attorney General.

I’m still waiting for someone to send me a letter from a lawyer…

The infamous company ThinkAll that has scammed many people may just be Bluestreak. The address on Bluestreak’s texas office location is the same one that was used to register the ThinkAll, LLC.

ThinkAll, one of the biggest software ripoffs around, has changed their name before and may be in the process of doing it again. Website is down, users can’t get them on the phone, and their ads may have been pulled from Google.

Anyone reading this that stumbles across their new company please let me know so I can investigate.

The company iHosting is nothing more than the WebHostPlus company rebranded. If you know nothing about Webhostplus or the many companies they control, then know that they are nothing more than scammers who destroy every company they purchase. I know, I was with one of the companies they bought.

This is a really, really underhanded company that doesn’t care about its customers.
