No not Ghostbusters this time. However the silence from Bet21.com is spooky.
I still cannot fathom a company that advertises a loss leader, in this case the deposit bonuses, then completely reneges upon their promises.
Image you get a flyer from Best Buy saying that HD flat screen 36” TVs are only 199.00!
You rush down to the local Best Buy and are informed that all the TV’s are sold out – sorry. But here, let’s give you a rain check so that when the next shipment comes in we’ll sell them to you.
Days go by, then the days turn to weeks and the weeks finally turn to months. Several times you’ve called Best Buy inquiring about the HD sets only to be told, “We’re working on it.”
Finally after 6 months you say, “Enough is enough” and you demand to see the manager and show them your rain check. “I’m sorry but we don’t have the software to validate that rain check – NEXT”
How would YOU feel?
Happy? Relieved? Frustrated? Angry? Disappointed?
All of the above?
Now here’s the 64 dollar question: “Would you ever believe Best Buy in the future? Would you shop at Best Buy in the future?”
What would you tell your friends about that store?
How is that above scenario any different from the bait and switch being done with Bet21.com?
Tell me – I’m waiting!
