1800skyride-Sportations-Groupon: Biggest scammers / photo video deal.
Complaint
J Shah
Country: United States
Hi,
I think I am eventually believing that I was scammed by 1800skyride.
Here is the background information:
We had brought Skydiving deal from Groupon for Sportations (http://www.sportations.com/). On my first call to Sportations Customer Service , their representative offered me a one time deal to add photo/video package for additional 95$s person (x3 of us =285$). I thought it will be good to have some documented memory of this event and brought the deal. At no point during my phone call was I informed that this photo video Package was from 1800skyride. I was charged on my card and the reciept was given to me, only then was I able to see that the bill was under 1800skyride. The receipt was under 1-800-skyride but The deal was offered and brought from a Sportations CSR. So I believe SPORTATIONS is equally responsible for the fraud.
CURRENTLY:
We ended up having to reschedule it for last one year for some or the other weather conditions every time.
And few due to negligence in rescheduling us by SPORTATIONS.
And every time we would also reschedule photo/video package through Sportations.
Finally we got scheduled for skydiving for tomorrow and while talking to a Sportations CSR again, I was informed that they won't reschedule my photo/video package this time because they have parted ways from 1800skyride back in November 2011. This is a complete shock.
This split should have been informed to current customers by SPORTATIONS and 1800skyride.
I have been calling 1800skyride since today morning but no one picks the phone.
SPORTATIONS is useless too. It has raised it's hand in air and won't cooperate.
It's like buying branded accessory from MACY's or JCPenney and when there is a problem with the goods, will you go back to MaCYs and JCPenney or the original vendor?
Groupon, Sportations and 1800skyride, all three should be sued.
I know Groupon is already sued for $8 million. Groupon for not really checking the authencity of the vendor whose services they are selling. I hope there is a class action lawsuit against SPORTATIONS and 1800skyride both.
Anyone else had this problem with Sportations?
And keep the efforts against 1800skyride strong!
