Heart Check America Health Screening Plus Heart Check America is scamming instead of scanning your body Arlington Heights, Illinois

I, too, accepted an invitation for a free heart scan that could detect calcium in the heart muscle.  The sales representative who talked with me in the now closed San Diego office pressured me much like a timeshare salesperson would.  He offered me different prices as I told him I couldn't afford it. He gave me his "rock bottom" price at last, and I paid for ten years of screening at $1500 up front and charged the remaining $1500 on a Chase card with monthly payments of 136.00 which I am still paying, of course, even though the San Diego office is long gone. And there are the yearly network dues of $249.00. Sound like a timeshare? You betcha.



I had the full body scan.  I got the result except for the bone density test.  I called many times to get that test sent to me.  The last time I called in mid-june, the office was closed with no forwarding address.  My doctor is totally unimpressed with the scan DVD, and I can't believe that I fell for it.  How stupid can I be!  I have never been a good resister of high pressure salesmanship.



I checked online and found that the company has gone defunct.  Then I received a letter fomr Sheila Haddad who is being sued by the state of Illinois for fraud, and she told me that scans are now being done by Health Screening Plus.  A number was proveded and the Arlington Heights Road address was given.  When I called the number,  the answering message said that I would be informed as to when a clinic in my area will be opening up.  Back records of patients are being gathered, so that they can be mailed.  I really have no faith in this new enterprise.



I understand that this new screening company is just the old company reformed.  Beware!!!



So now I can go to Illinois from my San Diego home for ten years to get a screening.  Great.  ARGH#(#(#

  And by the way, I contacted the BBB, but they told me that I should contact the California Attorney General's office.



I called Chase, and they told me to continue paying. !!!!  Big surprise there.



I think we need a class action suit.
