A company called SMC was trying to Steal Money from Customers for Products they do not want
and never receive.

i disputed the charges and won and canceled the Credit card and Now they have placed my name in a collections
agency for $439.45.I NEVER got a thing from them! I followed ALL INSTRUCTIONS TO CANCEL TO NO AVAIL
I Have spent hours on the phone and sent letters and emails from the 1st time i spoke with them, I CALLED BACK IMMEDIATELY to get them to cancel my membership
and they simply would not let me cancel

They are a dishonest company and lied to me on the original phone call about the products and website and Merchant account. and told me it was a one time charge

DO NOT SIGN UP FOR ANY OF THEIR PRODUCTSS
AS THEY MISREPRESENT EVERY PHASE OF THEIR BUSINESS.
AND TRY TO GRIDLOCK CUSTOMERS INTO BUYING INTO A SCAM
SUPPOSEDLY FREE Products website and merchant account
TV Spokesperson is Tom Bosley

I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU
I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THEM TO AS MANY BAD BUSINESS SITES AS POSSIBLE ON THE NET SO OTHER PEOPLE DONT GET SCAMMED BY THIS BAD COMPANY

I was on your side until your rants about the U.S. President

I was sympathetic until you started ranting about the President of the U.S. and the soldiers serving their country. Stick to the subject next time and maybe people will take you seriously.

SMC is bad business and Lies Cheats & Steals from anyone they can. Shame on you Tom Bosley

AUTHOR: Screwedbysmc - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, August 29, 2007

I was told SMC had Stone statues, High end Electronics such as TV's and Stereos Security Cameras and Quality Merchandise you would find at Circuit City Target or Walmart. ALL LIES! Thier Products are TRASH!

I was told they offered a Merchant account Below 1.7% with NO Monthly Fees and a FREE website with No Monthly Fees. ALL LIES!

I was Told i could cancel within 30 days and i canceled right after i got off the phone after making a few calls to the Merchant Account service which proved the lies about the account, it is 2% + 15 cents/Transaction PLUS $40.00 monthly fee!

Apon Calling to Cancel i was repetedly rudely redirected to a recording which takes about 20 minutes to end up telling you a place to write to to try to cancel the membership

I called and wrote and called and wrote i found their email address and emailed and called and wrote to NO AVAIL

SMC tries to gridlock people into not letting them quit and just keeps charging their account no matter wht you try to do to get out and that's why they wont let you pay by check

SMC misrepresents every phase of their business
and are complete assholes sent by Satin to Deceive honest People They are Pure Evil and i used to like Happy days but that Tom Bosely should Surely know by now He is endorsing FRAUD and someone should spank him and have his name and face removed as an advocate of this SMC SCAM Operation! TOM BOSELY YOU ARE advertising EVIL and Working with the devil and you wont be able to cash thoes checks in HELL!

TOM BOSELY You and your lawyers Should end his contract with SMC and Get some positive Media coverage for exposing the truth behind this SMC SCAM Operation! Are you that unethical and that much of a thief that none of this matters to you? If Fonzie knew this he'd kick your *ss untill you signed off SMC

So consumers i have an idea:
if you actually click on SMC i suggest you order their (Free) products under a false name like Tom Bosely and have them sent to a false address Like the white house, maybe Bush can use some of their practices to deceive the American Public some more. Like the $20,000. He's offering for New recruits to go in early, is your life worth only 20,000? A PAck of lies and deception: Iraq, afgan, Border patrol & Cheap labor...

#1 Consumer Suggestion

STOP SMC

AUTHOR: John - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, August 28, 2007

I have purchased a membership kit as well from SMC and everyone is absolutely
correct about the untruthfulness of this company. I am following thier letter to the "T". I still have two weeks to go before my thirity days are up and I will keep everyone posted s to what SMC tries to pull with me. Iwould also like to make a suggestion about doing a class action law suit against SMC. Everyone must participate in order for this to happen. They lied to me about $200.00 would take care of all business transactions to include my web site. Right!!! It was going to cost me over $5000.00 and more. These business rip-offs must be stopped from advertising over national tv and internet. We need to write to our congressman and senator of each state to include the FTC. We can stop them it just takes numbers.
