Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

In that case I have to wonder if said offer even exists, especially since there are a number of posters here whose posts have been cached by the Google bots and can be easily found.  Even if it was/is spam I doubt it would be sent to only one poster.  At any rate, if I received a legitimate offer for a free Dyson of course I would accept it depending on what I had to do.  Hell, I'd even take a free Oreck, as shocking as that sounds coming from someone who hates Orecks. 

But you don't see that nowadays, especially considering that 99% of email "offers" are usually fake.  No one just "gives away" free Dysons unless the parties who made the initial purchase can be compensated for it (i.e. drawings and the like).  The machines have to come from somewhere, and be purchased by someone.

As far as failed recommendations go, at least the prospective customers who have come here seeking a recommendation know better than to take Carmine's rantings seriously

Hello MH:

I highlighted the relevant words.  I've saved some of the recent emails with the offers.  I'd be happy to forward one/more to any one who wants them.  Send me a private message here and I will.  You too MH.

Hi DIB:

I missed it.  But not Cali.  She could sell me anything.

Hello MH:

Here's the latest.  I have more but this should do for the purpose.  This was sent to 6 others as well as me in the same email.  Maybe you can get the offer too if you respond back to company.  Be my guest.  I have no plans to accept the offer.

Test and keep a brand new Dyson DC25!

You have to be the stupidest person in the world to fall for this $#%*.  This is EXACTLY why no one should take your advice seriously.  Did you happen to read the details of this so-called offer?  As I said, they don't want your opinion, they will never ask you questions about the Dyson.  They only want your money.  Here is a piece taken directly from the details page outlining "Sponsor Offers":

Please note Sponsor offers may require you to sample and/or purchase products of interest and/or take other actions such as applying for or obtaining a loan or extension of credit (including credit cards), transferring a balance, or similar steps. In order to remain eligible for your gift, you must complete all of the sponsor offers that require you to sample and purchase products of interest within 180 days of signing up for our service.

Another excerpt from the so-called "offer":

Please note that once you have clicked to and started and/or completed a transaction with a sponsor, you are subject to that sponsor's terms, conditions and rules on cancellation, and such transactions cannot be canceled by or through the brandnamerewards.com or by failure to complete the requisite number of sponsor offers specified above.

And yet another:

In some cases an additional step by you is required to satisfy the Sponsor's qualifications. By way of example that is not intended to be exhaustive, all-inclusive, or otherwise limiting, a Sponsor offer for, for example, credit card or similar service may require you to use the credit card to make a purchase, take a cash advance, or transfer a balance, to satisfy the Sponsor's qualifications. The time it takes you to complete this step is in your control and not that of the Service or the Sponsor, and the qualification time for such Sponsor offers accordingly will vary based in part on the time you take to satisfy this requirement.

Finally, the coup de gras:

Prizes subject to availability, and quantities may be limited. brandnamerewards.com reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value. brandnamerewards.com reserves the right to cancel any offer at any time for any reason, with or without notice.

That says it all.  ANYONE who could be considered an "expert" would be able to tell that this SCREAMS "scam".  There is no other way to say it.  You will NEVER receive the machine, it won't happen, ever, and even if it did you would probably pay over $1000 in "Sponsor Offers" to get it. 

As I said before, James does NOT want your opinion.  HIS opinion is the only one that matters, he does NOT want one of a so-called "expert".  He has gotten along without you for 25 years, I don't think he will have a problem keeping it that way for a few more

There's good money for the promoter, by getting people to perform these actions. For example, taking out a loan might pay them $100 in commision.
Clearly, they need to get you to do a number of these, before they can even consider coming good on their free gift offer - although they'd likely collect their returns and scam you off with something of perceived high value. The Dyson is the bait, it's inclusion is purely a highly recognized, desirable object - nothing more.

Carmine certainly fits the description.

If James never made another dollar he would be light years ahead of Carmine in knowledge and $.  He already made a monkey out of Carmine so he might become a zoo keeper if he retires from the vacuum business.

Well Guys:

Well you are pretty sure of yourselves and your statements.  You said some very unkind and vile things about me and the company in question.  The company may have some objections about your posts.   It may disagree with your interpretations and explanations of the terms of the agreement and say you are not qualified to give them authoritatively here on behalf of the company.

Carmine, did you happen to Google the company in question?  I did, and here is the first result that came up for a search of "brandnamerewards.com LLC":

Let me quote directly from the user-submitted report:

"Only losers and suckers will sign up to give them access to their email address to receive tons of spams from con artists and scammers from across the globe."

And you thought they ACTUALLY wanted your opinion?  What a riot.
