I got my money back --INFOMERCIALSCAMS.COM is a scam, too
Complaint
trudy
Country: Canada
I was just reading my previous complaint on page 3 of this site. I have written about how I got my money back because D.B. violates so many laws.
I told people to google "DIRECTBUYCOMPLAINTS" then
Find "DIRECT BUY CUSTOMERS SPEAK OUT" then
Find "INFORMERCIALSCAMS.COM" to find my letter but they could not find it,
because it had been erased. I found out that INFOMERCIALSCAMS.COM IS A SCAM WITHIN A SCAM.
At the bottom of the one page of "complaints" There is a sentence starting with: the ICA findings Direct Buy adheres to ICA's consumer protection ...
customer satisfaction. So I clicked on it and found a long rambling on, load of incredible lies. They ask you to leave your full information so they can help you resolve your complaint. At the end of that page:
ABOUT ALLEGATIONS---It says ...we validate and leave authentic posts up...remove those that we feel to be FABRICATED...I must have lied.
The last line invites you to request a visitor's pass to Direct Buy.
***GET YOUR MONEY BACK NOW***Photocopy your contract and have the print magnified to see if it states No Refunds-No cancellation(no cooling-off period)--One-time offer-no exchanges and No returns-These are contrary to the "Consumer Protection Act, 2002" Part III-Unfair Practice-#14.False misleading or deceptive representation(read through them and choose from them) #15.(1)unconscionable representation (2)reps of Direct Buy should know (b)that their products could be more expensive than similar retail products (c) consumers may not always benefit from their goods and services
(e)they may have made you sign a contract that was one-sided (biased) in favour of someone else other than the consumer **In this case, part of the contract is written in a way to protect a 3rd party (the suppliers) who you are not allowed to contact directly if you have problems or questions, you have no protection if a supplier is negligent. (g) company's statement of opinion is misleading and not beneficial to the consumer (h)MOST IMPORTANT**The way the contract is written put you under UNDUE PRESSURE to sign (see ex. above) One-time offer... No refunds
These conditions allow you to RESCIND the agreement as if it never existed
acc. to #18. (1) and (3) gives you A WHOLE YEAR TO CANCEL
Send a 1st letter by Reg'd Mail, signed by both members and must be directed to the attention of the owner or director of the specific place where you joined. Ask for the contract to be rescinded and for a full refund to be returned to you. Write in your own words whatever problems you had with the membership and relate it the parts of the C.P.A. 2002 that it violates. Ask them to please respond within 14 business days. The CONSUMER PROTECTION BRANCH IN Ontario has a website that helps you make sure you have all your details covered in your letter. Keep your reg'd letter receipt and photocopies of everything. If you live in ON, the branch can help you take D.B. to court if necessary. If I missed
anything ,post a letter on this site and\or check my other letters on page 3 or 4 of this site. Please do not speak to them on the phone and do not arrange any meetings with them, they will beg you to come in and talk so that they can intimidate you and twist your words. When they call you, tell to PLEASE put anything they have to say, in writing.
Don't give up. Good Luck
Your follow-up letter can be by FAX.

God bless you!
I feel filled with hope, or at least with a little hope!
I joined Direct Buy, and they lied to me (they told me absurdly low prices to join, and after joined, those same prices for the same products just doubled over night).
I felt overwhelmed!
But I have some hope right now!
TKS!!!!!
BOTTOM LINE DIRECT BUY AS A COMPANY IS A SCAMMMMMMM!!!!!!!
Don't give your money away for nothing in return!!! GOD Bless
