Today I received my first direct email spam from a company selling solar collector windows. 1. Violation: The creep got my email address from the WhoIs on one of my public domains. All domain registrars prohibit scanning for email addresses and prohibit using the information for commercial purposes. 2. Violation: The creep sent UCE - Unsolicted Commercial Email to me. That is prohibited by U.S. law but it is obviously not enforced by our lame government. 3. Violation: There was no Opt-In confirmation, only a request to reply to the spam. Don't ever do that as it will only confirm you have a good email address. 4. I reported the spam to Spamcop and you can see the spam report, at least for a few weeks, here: [Oops, the review police won't let me include links.] 5. The creep spammed every possible commercial bulletin board and blog with his junk. You can see one example of a spam report on Google here: [Review police again. Sorry, do the Google yourself.] 6. I found most of the junk by using Google on the telephone number in the spam email: 210-240-8361 Please do not patronize this evil creep. If you have any questions or comments you may post a comment on my review and I'll get back to you. (This is my first review so I'm not sure how it works.) Why must I give one star to this totally useless company? How about a "thumbs down" rating icon!

directv advertises free installation and free hd dvr. they charged me $467 for installation and the dvr: then it wasn't the hi def--so they had to come back to correct it, & they charged me another $287; said i had to pay for a second dvr because they couldn't take the first one back. this month my bill said i owed $82, but when i went online to pay it, it was$206.90. and i haven't even rented any pay per veiws. when i call them i get people in india somewhere who tell me my bill should be "something like $70 per month" but can't tell me the exact amount. twice i was hung up on. when i complain about paying ^$800 to watch television, they offered me $5 off my monthly bill. when i asked about the "free installation for up to 4 rooms", i was told i didn't qualify because i only have 2 tv's not 4.

Hired my friend to do a remodel on my home. Paid him whenever he asked for a draw. When he began making mistakes I told him that he needed to repair them. Upon finding that he had poured my slab at an angle he just disappeared and took some of my supplies with him. I would not recommend this individual to anyone and if one feels so inclined to hire him I certainly would not pay him until the work was finished!
