It's like déjà vu, all over again! I woke this morning to yet another iteration of Infighting-Shape's now-infamous, forever tainted, and decidedly "...too good to be true" membership sham - oops, I mean "Offer!" - trotted out under the guise of a Groupon Deal as a desperate stab at long forsaken legitimacy.
Once again, time to repeat the age-old adage like a mantra... "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably (in this case, definitely) is!"
Don't fall for it - or them - even when Groupon, Living Social, Amazon Local, or anyone else is innocently "fronting" for them. Make no mistake; the whole "Groupon thang" is rolled out as a bogus veil of legitimacy - for what is an otherwise unscrupulous, naked, money-grab.
Rather than simply "close up shop" and physically disappear like in the days of yore, these 21st Century Internet savvy proprietors "disappear virtually" ...by breaking website links they require you to click on in order to activate your membership; then ignoring your repeated emails; before finally resorting to more sophomoric, "old-school" tactics like ignoring your repeated phone-calls and voicemail messages to their published phone number.
Notwithstanding that I meticulously complied with absolutely every last one of their published rules and regulations - a fact reiterated by Groupon representatives themselves - these dolts subjected me to a consumer gauntlet of obstructions, barriers, hurdles, and hassles, to and including:
--A Broken, non-functioning website (to which you are directed as A NECESSARY PRECONDITION for activating your membership)
--Broken website links (on which you are required to click as A NECESSARY PRECONDITION for activating your membership)
--Published business phone number that literally rings off the hook (I verifiably completed not one, but TWO! (2) separate phone calls (and corresponding voicemail messages) to Infighting Shape in a good faith attempt to activate my membership; and none was answered - Ever! - through and including even today's date, more than 6 months after I paid them!)
--Business voicemail service "to nowhere" (and, to which no one responds - Ever!)
--Business email "to nowhere" (and, to which no one responds - Ever!)
I had to enlist live Groupon personnel who - after independently verifying all of the foregoing barriers and breakdowns, to their utter shock and dismay - are STILL working to recover my money - MORE THAN FULL 6 MONTHS AFTER I PAID!
Caveat emptor! (loosely translated in this case as, "Run (don't walk) Away" ...Avoid. Avoid. Avoid!)
