A CONSUMER PROTECTION GUIDE ON
SCAM PRODUCTS NOT WORTH BUYING.
DID YOU BUY A PRINTER THIS YEAR?
1. UP UNTIL RECENTLY, ALL PRINTER COMPANIES TRIED TO SELL YOU A CHEAP PRINTER WITH THE IDEA OF SELLING VERY EXPENSIVE INK. THE SCAM WAS SIMPLE. SELL A CHEAP PRINTER AND MAKE THE IDIOT CONSUMER BUY EXPENSIVE INK. THEY MADE CERTAIN THE PRINTER IN THE BOX CONTAINED ONLY A SMALL SAMPLE OF INK IN A SMALL PLASTIC CARTRIDGE AND IF YOU WANTED MORE INK, THE PRICE PER CARTRIDGE JUMPED UP...WAY UP,,, AND I WAS ONE OF THE STUPID CONSUMERS.
CONSUMERS HAD TO CHANGE THE CARTRIDGE EVERY FEW WEEKS AND THEN ADDING INSULT TO INJURY, THE COMPANIES CREATED INK INSURANCE PROGRAMS PROMISING NEW INK WOULD BE DELIVERED TO YOUR DOOR QUICKLY SO YOU WOULD NEVER RUN OUT OF INK...MONEY YES...INK NO.
========================================
2. TODAY, ALMOST EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS HOW OIL, GAS AND CAR COMPANIES OPERATE. THEY WANT YOU TO BUY GAS MADE FROM OIL AND SO MANUFACTURING COMPANIES SPEND MILLIONS ADVERTISING GAS BURNING CARS AND TRUCKS EVERY TWO MINUTES ON TELEVISION. CARS BURN MORE GAS AS THEY GET OLDER AND SO THE USED CAR MARKET IS PROLIFERATING AND THE AFTERMARKET IS FLUSH WITH CASH. COMPANIES BENEFITTING FROM INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE CARS ARE: CAR INSURANCE COMPANIES, PART SUPPLIERS, GARAGES, EVEN THE GOVERNMENT IS PROFITING WITH HIGH TAXES ON GAS. AS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, COLD HEARTED COMPANY CEO'S CONTINUE TO DECIDE FOR ALL OF US HOW OUR PLANET WILL ABSORB THE POLLUTION THEIR MACHINES CREATE. P.S. WARNING...CLIMATE EMERGENCY!
========================================
TODAY, I ADVISE YOU TO SEEK SHELTER FROM THE APPROACHING HURRICANES AND RUN FROM THE FOREST FIRES. AIR POLLUTION IS UNAVOIDABLE BECAUSE LARGE CAR AND TRUCK COMPANIES HAVE CROSSED THE LINE OF DECENCY WITH BRAIN WASHING ADVERTISING EVERY FEW MINUTES ON TELEVISION. I DON'T SIMPLY DISLIKE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE DOING THIS, I DESPISE THEM!
========================================
3. FOAM BED MATTRESSES. EVERYBODY HAS HEARD ABOUT MEMORY FOAM MATTRESSES AND HOW COMFORTABLE THEY ARE. WHAT I DISCOVERED AFTER BUYING ONE OF THESE IS THAT NOT ALL FOAM MATTRESSES ARE MADE EQUAL. SOME ARE SOFTER, SOME ARE HARDER AND SOME MELT IN WATER. YES, THEY MELT UNDER YOU IF YOU SWEAT AND THEY CREATE HOLES SO THAT THE PROMISE OF CONFORMING TO YOUR BODY IS ACCURATE BUT AFTER A YEAR OR SO THEY DO NOT RETURN TO NORMAL. THEY REMAIN LUMPY. AS FOR THE RIDICULOUS OVER-PRICING OF THESE MATTRESSES, THEY FALL INTO THE SCAM CATEGORY AND SO IF LIKE ME YOU BOUGHT ONE OF THESE, YOU HAVE BEEN SCAMMED
IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, PUT AN OLD FOAM PILLOW IN WATER AND WATCH IT DISSOLVE.
===========================================
4. I BOUGHT AN EPSON ET-7700 INK TANK PRINTER AND I THOUGHT I HAD A GOOD DEAL. The company promised two years worth of ink. I MANAGED TO MAKE SOME EXCELLENT PHOTOGRAPHS BEFORE THE FUN STOPPED! After a few months of usage the photographs created by my Epson ET-7700 printer developed ink blotch problems. However, the printer is programmed to clean itself and it did that by using a small plastic cleaning box, which is sold separately. What the company did not explain is how quickly the cleaning box fills up with waste ink and how expensive the unit is to replace.. It also takes about a week for the replacement to arrive. I am waiting patiently to see if my photographs improve after I replace the box.
=============================================
5. THIRTY YEARS AGO ALL I HAD TO DO WAS PLUG IN A PRINTER TO AN ELECTRICAL WALL OUTLET, CONNECT THE USB CABLE TO THE PRINTER AND THEN GET TO WORK BUT THAT WAS THIRTY YEARS AGO, BEFORE DEVIOUS CORPORATE MINDS FOUND A WI-FI WAY TO STICK IT TO CONSUMERS.
==============================================
6. Dollar store products break soon after purchase and since they are so cheap, people simply throw them into a recycle bin and hurry to buy more of the same crap. We need to bring small business back to North America run by quality artisans. Most Europeans are not fooled into buying useless garbage and their industries as well as their artisans make beautiful long lasting quality products.
