It's a good thing you would like to check out this site, save yourself some hell... WELCOM TO DONT BUY HERE!!! DONT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE TRASHY COMPANIES!!! On this site we (The WCA Market Independent Research Staff) would like to tell you few words about certain companies you should NEVER DEAL WITH... For your own protection and safety. So you dont get screwed and loose your hard earned money. DONT EVE DEAL WITH THE FOLLOWING COMPANIES MANY PEOPLE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE FOLLOWING COMPANIES: 1.CHARTER BANKS STINK, FRAUD 2. USCF chess 3. LOKASOFT, 5. Chicago Sun Times/Chicago Tribune 4. CHESSBASE, 6. Dell Computers 7. America Online Service 8. Washington Mutual Mortgage - (Dont pay your taxes thru them for your mortgage because they will totally overcharge you and play stupid that it's not their fault, choose another company, there are many) 1. Lokasoft - LOKASOFT CHESS LOKASOFT CHESS -Stay away It's a chess software company from Netherlands, their programmer Lex Loep is an average programmer (nothing special about him and his crap) and he is a very hard man to get along with, his product is very poor in his taste and his chess programs, his held hand chess programs does not play very well and are not strong enough even for an amateur... Also too expensive, we STRONGLY recommend you dont deal with them, buy some other program from a private dealer or a major company. The technical assistance from lokasoft chess is very poor, (tragic) all you do is get one email, no resepct and no other questions are ever answered, one email = one final email. STA AWAY, NOT RECOMMENDED, LOUSY !!! Chessbase - inaccurate games database Another lousy chess based company... I would also not recommend them, very poor customer service relations, they dont provide any technical assistance, nothing. Not a damn thing. STAY AWAY, NOT RECOMMENDED. 1. EBAY, (SOMEBODY I HOPE WILL WILL LAWSUIT AGAINST EBAY FOR THE REASONS MENTIONED BELOW: 2. U.S. Cellular DO NOT BUY OR SELL ON DAMN EBAY, BECAUSE WHEN THEY SUSPEND YOUR ACCOUNT FOR NO REASON AT ALL YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FILE CHARGES AGAINST THOSE WHO OWE YOU MONEY OR AGAINST THOSE YOU PAID BECAUSE YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE CLOSED AND RESTRICTED AND THERE IS NOT MUCH YOU CAN DO, THEREFORE I STRONGLY SUGGEST, GO ON SOME OTHER AUCTION IT'S SAFER, LESS THIEFS AND YOU WILL SAVE MUCH MORE MONEY THIS WAY !!! EBAY PEOPLE ARE SCUM AND FRAUD, NOTHING ELSE !!! AND THIS IS HAPPENING TO THE MOST HONEST OF PEOPLE. EBAY - (and HALF.com) THIS INTERNATIONAL COMPANY (based in america, usa) SCUMBAGS will close your account sometimes just because you left somebody a negative feedback if they deserved it, they dont investigate anything, total loosers, if you have to deal with them, have two accounts for buying something (dont even think about buying there something, you will not even get registered in the first place AND THEIR HUGE PRICES ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD, TOTALLY UNFAIR AND ILLEGAL, THIS COMPANY SHOULD BE UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR SELLING EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING. THE PROBLEM WITH EBAY IS THAT ANYBODY CAN COMPLAIN AND THEY JUST TAKE YOUR LISTING DOWN, FILE STUPID CHARGES THAT ARE TOTALLY INCONSISTENT AND SUSPEND YOUR ACCOUNT. IF THAT HAPPENS, DONT EVEN TRY TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH THEM, JUST OPEN ANOTHER ACCOUNT UNDER A SIMILAR NAME OR SOMETHING, BECAUSE TRUST US... THEY WILL NOT REOPEN IT. THEY ARE BUNCH OF WEALTHY SCUMBAGS. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE ON EBAY STINKS SO BAD, THEY DONT HAVE 800 NUMBER TO CALL WITH QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS, ONLY EMAIL SERVICE THAT TAKES 20 DAYS BEFORE THEY ANSWER AND NEVER ACCURATELY. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY, DONT DEAL HERE. IF YOU HAVE TO SELL ONLINE, DONT DO IT HERE, YOU WILL REGRET IT !!! VERY COLD PEOPLE ! BUNCH OF THIEFS ON EBAY, THIEFS, 100%. U.S. CELLUAR - The american wireless telephone company, totally useless, they charge too much for information, like 411, 1.50$ and even for 800 numbers they will charge you.If you are an old customer they should out of respect not disconnect your phone if the bill is passed due few days and when money is in the mail, it usually takes 10 days for a payment to post. Their phone and connections are terrible, weak signals, drop of signal, huge roaming charges, no service in many areas of the country, pain in the neck big time. ------------------- BANKS: TERRIBLE SERIVES IN CHICAGO ARE: LABE BANK, FEES ON EVERY CORNER AND NATIONAL CHARTER ONE BANKS, THIS IS PURE GARBAGE, WORSE SERVICE YOU WILL EVER GET, AND THEY WILL EVEN TAKE YOUR MONEY AND NEVER RETURN PROPER PROFIT. VERY RUDE TOO! STAY AWAY FROM ALL OF THESE CRAP! ALL OF THESE COMPANIES ON THIS PAGE WILL ONLY SCREW YOU AND AT THE END SHOW YOU THE FINGER AND A TONGUE !!! DUMP THEM !!! 5. Chicago Sun Times - DONT place your ads in there, it will never run, bad service and no refunds. They dont assist in helping with the ad and their prices are huge, totally huge. And nobody reads it anyways. 6. DELL COMPUTERS, DONT DEAL WITH THEM, VERY UNPROFESSIONAL, IMPOSSIBLE TO TALK TO CUSTOMER SERVICE, TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT, THERE IS ALMOST NOBODY WHO SPEAKS PROPER ENGLISH, ALL THE CALLS ARE TRANSMITED FROM USA TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES AND WAITING IS VERY LONG, EMAIL ASSISTANCE DOES NOT EXIST. 7. America OnLine, (america online inc) Terrible Company, very, very expensive, these bastards take so much money for their service, their software only messes up your computer, makes it perfomr illegal operations.
