Internet *UPDATE ..UNSATISFACTORY with BBB West Florida Company AmeriGreet - Ameri Greet - Modern Marketing Solutions Address: Nationwide, U.S.A. Phone Number: 877-624-7338 Fax: I was contacted by amerigreet and they told me I have won a trip to Florida. 4 days in Orland and 3 nights then 4 days in Coco Beach and 3 nights at Best Western. With 2 Pass to Univerisal Studios and Kenedy Space Center. Sounds like a good deal, right? Think again! There is a one time fee of $39.00 then it is $5.95/month billed quarterly. They tell you that after the $39.00 you can cancel your account and not be billed the $11.95 and you will still be able to take the trip. I got my montly statement from the bank. Much to my amazement, FIVE months later they processed the "one time fee" of $39.00 AGAIN, and used the same check number (electronic check)! This caused me to go negative and also to get a $24.00 NSF fee. After contacting the company they told me to fax them all the paperwork showing the double charge and the NSF they caused and they would refund my money. I checked back with my bank 14 days later and still no refund. So again I called the company. They said they just got the fax from the bank today...14 days later. Their explanation: "The fax machine may have backed up. Your check is in the mail today and you should have in in 3-5 days." I'm no expert but I use fax machines at work frequetly and they dont "back up" for 14 days. DONT TRUST AMERIGREET!! Tanner north vernon, Indiana U.S.A. Update Submitted by the original author Submitted: 8/6/2004 1:05:22 AM Modified: 8/6/2004 7:04:44 PM UNSATISFACTORY with BBB West Florida I have read more of the ripoff reports on this site then checked out the BBB's website. Even though they said they sent my check out I still dont believe it. After all, they told me they sent it 14 days ago. Remember the saying, "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me"? I filed with the BBB anyway just to let the company (amerigreet, modern marketing solutions) know that I am not here to fool around, I am here for my money. My next step is to retain a lawyer. Yes, the cost may be kind of high to do that but in the end I expect amerigreet to have to pay all lawyer and court fees. Checking with the BBB of West Florida I have found that the company has an unsatisfactory rating with them "due to one or more unanswered and two or more unresolved complaints." Imagine that! I am going to go after this company until I get my money back. After what they have put so many people through, I have to make a point to them that they cant do business like this and get away with it. I would like to see the company go out of business, if you can call it that, to protect everyone else who is unexpecting. Tanner - north vernon, Indiana U.S.A.
