Unlucky Fool of a Child

Gya!~ I gotta thank you guys! If I had never found this fourm I would have lost A LOT of money! And to be honest, when I bought my Quick and Easy Language Program, I distinctively remember that there was no opt out potion when buying it. Honestly. I'm shocked!

STop Complaining and READ

I used to work for a reputable company that also had an automatic reorder program that the customer was entered into by placing an Internet order. Many people as you suggested did not read the entire page and select to opt out. I ordered the $10 trial and opted out of additional products. I had no issue and enjoyed my language CDs. Before anyone attacks me I DO NOT WORK FOR PIMSLEUR but I do not understand so many people missing the opt out option. It seemed pretty clear to me. If people would stop avoiding responsibility and blaming everyone else for their failure to read ALL of the information, these complaints wouldn't be necessary. People referring to others as idiots are mad at their own incompetence. Sorry :-(

Deceptive, Misleading

I saw a $9.95 edal on a daily sale website for two language CDs from Pimsleur. When I clicked on it, I was re-directed to the company website. I ordered the $9.95 deal and thought I was done with it. I received what I ordered, then sometime later (due to the second shipment being lost and then found by the post office) I received a high-dollar language course that I did not order. Pimsleur uses the $9.95 deal to lure unsuspecting consumers into a "free trial" program for their expensive language course. By purchasing the $9.95 deal, one os automatially enrolled in the free trial (30-days). The enrollment in the high-dolalr course is poorly indicated on their website and can be eassily overlooked. Pimsleur had already debited the first insallment for the larger course from my card. I called the company and cancelled the program, mailing their course back to them. Now waiting to see if they indeed return my money. Beware of this company and anything they try to sell. They are misleading and deceptive.

Deceptive, Misleading

I, too, have had the same misleading advertisement scam get the best of me. I just recently received the second shipment, which I did not want or order and now must deal with sending it back in a timely fashion (at my expense). After checking with my charge card account, a fee had not yet been assessed, but that may soon change. I am pleased with the initial discs received and the instruction given, but this attempt to lure in customers as the previous poster mentioned is both deceptive and inexcusable behavior from a reputable company...very disappointed. For that reason alone, would not order from this company again and would not recommend it to others.

Stop Complaining and take responsibility for your actions. The website clearly states that you will revive other orders. I saw the terms and conditions, why didn't anybody else? Oh i know.. because you didn't READ.. Now how is that their fault? Smh.. get it together...When I called to return I didn't get through either, but on their website you can chat live with a rep, and they gave me return info... I bet none of you thought of that, now did you... Of course not...

You work for the company. I can tell. If you were intelligent you would find other ways to make money. You sir, are an idiot and are one element short of being a burglar. You don't know how to properly advertise or sell a product. Retard.

Shady business practices

This is clearly an insider writing the review. I have seen this same "Read people" post on several complaint boards. It's so lame that this scam company has people who actually try to make a fraudulent company look good. People, run as fast as you can from this company. Report them to the BBB, attorney general, and anyone else you can think of.
