Telemarketer promised $40 in gas rebates for trial membership

How to cut this sh...tuff off at the ROOTS? Complain. To the AG, to Sempris, Provell whoever but... and this is KEY... *Complain to the ORIGINAL Company you called* !!! If you called in for a weight loss product... a facial cleanser... a cosmetic... a fat reducing belt... a chainsaw... doesn't MATTER... remember WHO you called to get whatever it was you called for... and YELL AT THEM!! If you called for a tribute coin, a vacuum cleaner, a pet bed, a closet organizer WHATEVER... those companies are getting KICKBACKS from these rat-b*st**ds!!

How do I know/ Trust me. MOST (if not ALL) people pitching ValuePlus, Savings2Go, Shopping Essentioans, AtHome etc etc etc etc ad nauseam... DON'T WORK FOR THEM! They work for a call center hired by the company YOU called to get that magic slushy cut or dust broom or home exercise program or fat loss hypnosis system!! But... (and here is where the rubber meets the road) the work-at-home agents are FORCED (on pain of losing their jobs, folks!) to add ON the "affinities" as they are called in the trade. YES we... COUGH!! er... I mean... *they* are required BY the FCC to stay compliant with the law (on pain of losing their jobs) BUT... the PRESSURE to sell this ... (words fail me) is ENORMOUS!

IF the companies SELLING the weight loss or slushy cup or exercise thingy or home appliance or whatevertheHell it is THEMSELVES got b!tched at... they would STOP! Because it is HELL to get a $300 air-purifier sale... only to have it CANCELLED by a ticked off caller who doesn't want the *^$#!! VALUE PLUS ADD ON! Yes, go after sempris, or Provell or whatever these creeps are calling themselves now! Hit them where it HURTS... but ALSO WHACK the companies that ADD these weasels' offers to THEIR, perfectly legitimate products for the bloody KICKBACK! Until THEY stop... the OFFERS won't stop and the phone people who call you CANNOT stop!

Also... if you want to buy something off the TV... your MAGIC WORD (to halt the batsqueeze coming from the poor phone agent) is "CANCEL". Be polite. Be FIRM. Tell the agent "I want to buy the whizzbang slushy-maker. If you offer me aNYTHING MORE, I will *cancel* the order. " You'll be STUNNED by how FAST they get you to the LAST PAGE! Trust me... telephone agents do NOT WANT TO BILK YOU! ... but they are between a rock and a hard place. Time to shut these sons of riches DOWN!!
