A salesman went to my 78 year old dads home and gave him the same talk as stated and said how could he live in such filth. What a way to make a disabled elderly person embarrassed and push him into buying something he can not afford on his social security. I am glad he came to me and asked if I would call the guy to set up the contract because he has cognitive issues and does not handle his own paperwork. What a group of immoral people to shame and push a product regardless of the situation of the individual.
On December 17, I replied to a postcard received from Olympic Air Solutions to inquire of a prize I won. Prizes included a kitchen serving set, tickets to a Green Bay Packers game, a digital camera, Apple iPod Touch and a top prize of $10,000. I was informed that I won, but my card must be verified by an agent of the company. As part of the verification process, I was asked to view a FilterQueen Indoor Air Quality System. The representative on the phone stated the demonstration was brief. Fair enough. I weighed out the chance to win $10,000 with maybe a half hour of my time. An appointment was set up for an afternoon visit.
Shortly before the scheduled visit, I received a phone call from a sales manager informing me the sales person was running late and if I would be o.k. postponing my appointment by one hour. One hour turned into two and a half hours. After waiting patiently for two and a half hours past the scheduled visit, the sales person appears. After verification of prize card, I was presented with an 18 piece BBQ set and asked to participate in a product demonstration.
The demonstration included the Defender and the Majestic. Both products were of good quality and the salesperson did a fine job with the demonstration. After a one hour and forty five minute presentation, I was ask to answer a few questions regarding the demonstration and the products. I made it very clear I was not interested in making a purchase. It did not matter how much the products cost, I was not in the market to purchase an air purifier or a vacuum cleaner. However, the salesperson was here to do his job, so I patiently listened as the price of the combo was presented.
The Defender was listed at $998. The Majestic was $2,998. After quickly stating “NO”, the salesperson called his manager. There was a back and forth conversation between the sales manager and the salesperson. The sales manager would dictate to the salesperson a series of demeaning questions such as “so you admit your current vacuum does not do the job the Majestic does. You prefer to live in dirt?”
After indicating if I had to choose between the Defender and the Majestic, I indicated I would choose the Majestic but stressed again I was not interested in either product. The price dropped from $2,998 to $2,600 to $2,200 to to $1,500. During the entire negotiation process, I could hear the demeaning conversation taking place between the sales manager and the salesperson in order to hook me as a customer. After refusing to pay $1,500, I heard the sales manager order the salesperson to offer a price of $1,200 and perform fellatio on me (actual words spoken were more vulgar and offensive). Of course the salesperson, acting as a true professional, did not relay the entire message to me and was unaware that I was hearing both sides of this abrasive conversation. After rejecting the offer to pay $1,200, a final offer of $999 was made. I quickly rejected the price of $999 and the presentation finally ended.
I am posting the report to alert other people in the community who have received a similar offer to call to check on a prize. Unfortunately, you may not see my report until it is too late. If this is the case, please share your story.
I responded to one of their free give-aways. They told me i would receive my prize after a very short demonstration of a product they were trying to sell. (They also lied about the prize won in an attempt to sway, i'm certain) When they arrived, we found out their normal demonstration was over 2 hours. They shortened it, and one of their products was actually supposed to help with asthma and allergies, two things we have problems with. So we agreed to try out the product.
2 hours of paperwork later, which they tried to rush me through, they agreed to give me the product, the one they told me they had thrown around for demonstrations, though we would get free fixing, and a hussle process where they told me they could get the product just down to $700-some through crazy negotiations to make it seem like a deal. some elaborate act, i'm certain, as online they rarely sell for over $200, but not being accostomed to this kind of thing, we fell for it.
I was certain to ask if we had issues with it, after testing it out for a while, if we could give it back and cancel the absurd contract. I was told if i wasn't willing to go to a lower price, or if something couldn't be fixed about the problem, then sure, an agreement could be made. Feeling better about this, but so exhausted, they then told me that they would give me a lower give-away than expected and hurridly drove off.
After testing the product for a few weeks, we noticed no improvement in asthma issues, and allergy problems doubled. I tried contacting both the Olympic Air Solutions, and the bank. Olympic Air treated me with a practiced hostility, barely letting me explain my complaint, overruning me telling me there was nothing they could do, the contract was out of their hands, and they had no interest in taking back the product despite it being some 'medical miracle device'. It was garbage to them, I was told at best I could try to sell it myself to someone else to help pay for the absurd fees.
Don't believe their lies, the price, the product, the act, it's all a lie. After calling the bank for the deal i wanted to cut off, i was told they would give me to a department that could help me better. I was shunted to a receptionist who barely spoke english (no offense to them, i did feel it was an evasion tactic though, no good conversation could be had with them) and they barely could understand what i was saying and told me there was no going back on the contract unless i wanted to pay it off in full.
I'm very frustrated, and feel totally scammed. I'm working on figuring out a way around this right now, but being the way it is, I highly doubt anything will come of it. Why would they let someone off the hook? Maybe I won't get justice, but hopefully this will serve as a warning to others.
