Thillco - Awsome Auger - Billy Mays If Billy Mays advertizes it, Don't Buy It (unless you're rich or don't mind being ripped off) Oshkish Wisconsin

I saw Billy Mays advertize this wonderful little device called the Awsome Auger. Being on disability I thought "this is just what I need to make my flower bed easier to work in"...

I have watched him (Mr Mays) advertize a lot of things!! This one just caught my eye. I thought it might make things easier since I have a lot of back problems.

I ordered it in good faith. It was advertized as the awsome auger with the drill for only $19.99 with shipping and handling($8.99). After ordering it, and giving them my credit card #, they came up with "do you want the free drill also? It's only $20 shipping and handling!!!!

Well, it came today!!! Take a wild guess how much they took out of my bank account?!?!? $97.70...........for that I would have pulled up my own weeds, and had enough to pay for a Dr visit!!!!!

I will NEVER again order anything that Billy Mays advertizes!!!! They make things sound so good, knowing all the time that they're fixing to rip people off. I just wonder if the things he's says about "sending you something anytime you need it" on some of his adds means 'we're hoping you don't live long enough to call for anymore'? I tried to call their customer service #. They put me on hold 4 times!!! And never came back on line. I tried to contact their so called e-mail address, and all it was was sites for applying for jobs. Never did get through to their "customer service"....

I don't know if writing this report will do any good at all, but maybe someone will read it and prevent them from being ripped off like I was. If you're reading this, take my advise and don't order ANYTHING from these people. They con artists and don't care about the people they're trying to con!! God bless.
