National Sports Services is posting false ads on the internet. Many times,they are stating under the pictures of their employee or after you click on the purchase now button; " If this game doesn't win, you receive his picks for the rest of the week for FREE." Or: "If my GUARANTEED winner doesn't win, you will receive my picks for the rest of the month for FREE."
If one of their games loses, they do not e-mail the customer with his, or her, free pick the following day. They do not telephone the customer and give him, or her, their free pick the next day. Therefore, the customer who purchased National Sports Services "supposed winner" is the one who has to make contact with National Sports Service the next day. By having the customer initiate the contact. National Sports Services is able to make it appear as if the customer is contacting them to make a purchase. This couldn't be further from the truth.
Once the consumer initiates the contact, National Sports Services has the opportunity to start using "selling pressure" on the consumer. This also gives them the opportunity to make it appear as if you are getting a deal that is too good to be true. National Sports Services got the opportunity to tell me that Dave Cokin has "inside information" on games that other people don't have. Yeah. Right. And, if you buy his season package, you will get his over/under picks for the rest of the baseball season. Some people have to pay $1,000 just to get Dave's over/under pick in one game! Yeah. Sure! Then they get you to give them your credit card numbers. If you don't have enough credit available, National Sports Services starts asking questions like: "Don't you have another credit card we could use? Don't you have a savings account? Where is your money? Is your money in stocks?"
Meanwhile, National Sports Services is getting away with FALSE ADVERTISING. Did National Sports Services give me my free pick on June 19th as promised? Only after they charged around $26,000 to my credit cards. You call that FREE?
I made purchases at National Sports Services of $29 on June 8th, $15 on June 13th, $25 on June 15th and $25 on June 18th. The June 13th and 15th purchases were guaranteed winners. They won. Therefore, I didn't have to call National Sports Services on the following days. However, Dave Cokin's June 18th GUARANTEED winner, LOST! Why would I want to spend $40,000 at National Sports Services On June 19th and 20th, the 2 days following a Dave Cokin LOSER? I didn't spend anything the 2 days that followed Dave Cokin wins. (June 14th and June 16th) This all was a result of SALES PRESSURE.
If these guys are not crooks, how come they have to state 3 times on the bottom of their contract: "We are freeing them from any claims whatsoever." And, all money is non-refundable. Football Season doesn't even start until August 1st! I paid $20,000 for their football season picks because of their "SALES PRESSURE." What does football season have to do with the FREE baseball games that they promised in their June 18th ad?
