Complete Savings is Webloyalty company. It is a fact that on June 30, 2009 a federal judge in Boston approved a settlement agreement in a class-action lawsuit alleging that Webloyalty broke state and federal laws by failing to disclose details such as the monthly charges. More than 20 million people were cheated. The Federal Trade Commission is finally cracking down on companies that rely on negative option marketing to make their sales. Negative option deals take your silence as a yes and then bill you forever for something you probably didnt want in the first place. Heres how it works. You sign up for a freebie, but the vendor requires you to provide your billing information. Then it keeps billing you for your membership or subscription in perpetuity unless you write or call to say no. Negative option marketers count on the fact that most people forget the whole thing and dont notice charges to their credit card or bank account for months. TigerDirect has perfect partners that share 50/50 of such membership. Names of such partners can be different but action is the same - to cheat you on monthly basis. TigerDirect rejected to refund lost money. I try to get it back from Complete Savings, but it isn't easy. They require to send a few papers by mail. if you are cheated - complain on FTC website. If it will be many people with such complains - we have chance that FTC will start action. TigerDirect already had problem with FTC earlier. So, their business isn't clean as they try to present it to public.
