FREE CAR

Beware this one too!

Free Car Media / Free Car Directory

For $29.95 you will sign up to either receive a monthly payment for wrapping your car with an advertisers ad; or you will receive a NEW already wrapped car to drive.

I joined this nearly 4 years ago.

I have yet to EVER receive 1 contact.

When I email the company, I get either NO response or a "form" email letter. (These tend to TICK ME OFF.)

Here is their snail-mail address:

Free Car Media
11990 San Vicente Blvd. Suite 350
Los Angeles, CA 90049

or it might be: Free Car Directory

Net Driven, Inc.
90 N. Lincoln Rd.
East Rochester, NY 14445

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can't get an answer from EITHER company so as far as I'm concerned...they are BOTH thieves and rip-off artists.

BEWARE!!!!

Dear Valued Customer, [Yeah, I'm a VALUED Customer; cry me a damn river; RIGHT!!!]

Thank you for choosing Alltel. Simple Freedom is actually a company separate from Alltel. Alltel allows Simple Freedom to use Alltel towers, but Simple Freedom is owned by an independent company.

To activate your Simple Freedom phone, ask questions about your minutes or any inquires about your account, please contact Simple Freedom.

Again, we do apologize for this issue, but we are unable to assist you with this Simple Freedom issue.

If we can be of further assistance, please let us know. We appreciate your business.

Sincerely,

Alltel Online Team
Wireless Support Center

If I were Alltel, I'd STOP my association with another company that is RUINING Alltel's reputation. After all, if you lie down with dogs, you gonna get up with fleas.

Or how about...'guilty by association'.

Alltel Communications RIP OFF

My son 'bought' an alltel communications cell phone at graduation party night. He was unable to register it on their website for the FREE 120 minutes. It is AKA: Alltel Simple Freedom Kyocera KX1 SoHo Prepaid Cell Phone

When he ended up registering it by phone, they knocked his FREE minutes down to 40--less than HALF.

Then when he still had 20 minutes left, the phone gave him the message that he had insufficient time to make the call he was trying to make.

It was IMPOSSIBLE to get an address for this company or an 800 phone number. The BBB came up with these.

When we complained to the BBB, they contacted the company who then has FAILED to respond to our complaints.

It retails at Wal-Mart for around $50.00

Therefore, we are blogging this so everyone will know and be WARNED that this is a fraudulent business.
