Bargain Books » Bargain Hunter Press

I am a bargain hunter. And I want to relate one very unpleasant experience that happened in the process. It was the so called Dimesale. The price was cheap and the product seemed useful. The sales pitch promised wonders. It had "killer" sub-heading with words like "Profit Pulling Machine", "It will Handle All Of Your Online Challenges!", "You Won't Believe How Easy…" And so on and so forth.

Moreover the headline shouted: "Try This Simple but awesome Software - Risk Free!" And the P.P.S stressed: "This program can be yours 100 percent risk free! You lose nothing by trying this software today".

So I decided to try. I did not expect miracles from such a cheap program. But it was impossible to see from the sales letter that the program (as I know now) is really a piece of garbage, not even worth the few bucks I paid for it. But the real problem is the following.

As usual, I did not read but scanned through the long sales letter. And I did not see there was a box named "Our Refund Policy". And what was this "risk free" policy? The policy stated: "No refunds will be issued. You have extreme value for your investment. And If you are not too embarrassed to ask for a refund for an offer like this, then we're not embarrassed to tell you up front that no refunds will be issued. Once you pay, you own it - no refunds!"

OK. I understand that the seller is entitled to such a policy and may even call it "risk free". But why was he "not embarrassed" to write what he did in the "Thank you" page after I paid through Paypal, is difficult to understand.

Here is what the "Thank you" page says:
1) "Thanks for Your Purchase. Your Order Has Been Successfully Processed".
2) "You must fill out the form below to gain access to your product. If you DO NOT fill out this form you will NOT be able to download your product."

The form contained almost everything except finger prints. Why would an honest seller make such an extortionist offer that the buyer cannot refuse? Allegedly, it is because of "the high number of fraudulent transactions and attempts to access the download page illegally."

But even after you complete the form, you do not receive your purchase. You still have to wait for an email with the download details. And if you do not receive the email, since "there may be a delay in receiving", please "DON'T PANIC".

I think there is no need to further comment on the story. Yet, some precautions seem advisable:
1) Don't be tempted to buy cheap products, especially computer programs - run away.
2) Before pulling out the credit card, read carefully every word of the sales letter.
3) When you see contradictions in the sales letter - usually this is an attempt to confuse the buyer or hide the weak sides of the offer. Run away.
4) If you see that the seller is trying to convince that the product is excellent but afraid to give a guarantee - run away.
