A short (funny) guide to understand corporate letters.

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007


  

As example I’ll use phrases from e-mails EXPEDIA sent to me when they tried to scam me: (Read my case at : http://www.victimsofexpedia.com/mycase.htm ).  But you would find very familiar most of these phrases.  

 

First at all EXPEDIA’s messages (or most corporate messages)  are well written letters from superior people with a deep knowledge and understanding of grammar, semantic and dialectic. We customers are ignorant, retarded, with difficulties in understanding basic concepts of communication. 

This is a short guide to understand what we customers believe EXPEDIA is telling us and what EXPEDIA is really telling us.

 

It took me while to appreciate the real meaning of the messages I had in my mailbox.

 

 

What you think EXPEDIA tells you
What EXPEDIA is telling you
Dear Customer
Retarded customer; You idiot,
Thanks for contacting EXPEDIA
Why are you bothering us?
Thanks for choosing EXPEDIA
Thanks for giving us a chance to scam you
Your feedback is important to us
Your money is important to us
We will contact you within 72 hr
Don’t bother us for 72 hr,  call us after 1-4 weeks when you don’t hear from us. Better, don’t call us again
Please allow 1-2 billing cycles for the credit to reflect to your statement
Don’t expect your money back in less than 6 month. Better, forget about your money.
Sorry for the long delay in resolving your case
We couldn’t find earlier an excuse to keep your money
I  wish to apologize for the fact that you have not been contacted
We need more time to find an excuse to scam you
We understand you have some issues with our services
We know you don’t want to be scammed
As a sign of goodwill we’ll reimburse you 800 U$D for the 1229.99 U$D we charged in your credit card.
We will steal  429.99 U$D from your credit card
We’ll offer you a coupon for 150 U$D for future purchases
We want another chance to scam you
We regret this incident
We regret we couldn’t scam you
We are sorry this issue was not resolved to your satisfaction
We are sorry you don’t accept being scammed; we are sorry you figured out we were trying to scam you

 

I’ll keep updating this page at: www.victimsofexpedia.com/jokes01.htm

A short (funny) guide to understand corporate letters.

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007


  

As example I’ll use phrases from e-mails EXPEDIA sent to me when they tried to scam me: (Read my case at : http://www.victimsofexpedia.com/mycase.htm ).  But you would find very familiar most of these phrases.  

 

First at all EXPEDIA’s messages (or most corporate messages)  are well written letters from superior people with a deep knowledge and understanding of grammar, semantic and dialectic. We customers are ignorant, retarded, with difficulties in understanding basic concepts of communication. 

This is a short guide to understand what we customers believe EXPEDIA is telling us and what EXPEDIA is really telling us.

 

It took me while to appreciate the real meaning of the messages I had in my mailbox.

 

 

What you think EXPEDIA tells you
What EXPEDIA is telling you
Dear Customer
Retarded customer; You idiot,
Thanks for contacting EXPEDIA
Why are you bothering us?
Thanks for choosing EXPEDIA
Thanks for giving us a chance to scam you
Your feedback is important to us
Your money is important to us
We will contact you within 72 hr
Don’t bother us for 72 hr,  call us after 1-4 weeks when you don’t hear from us. Better, don’t call us again
Please allow 1-2 billing cycles for the credit to reflect to your statement
Don’t expect your money back in less than 6 month. Better, forget about your money.
Sorry for the long delay in resolving your case
We couldn’t find earlier an excuse to keep your money
I  wish to apologize for the fact that you have not been contacted
We need more time to find an excuse to scam you
We understand you have some issues with our services
We know you don’t want to be scammed
As a sign of goodwill we’ll reimburse you 800 U$D for the 1229.99 U$D we charged in your credit card.
We will steal  429.99 U$D from your credit card
We’ll offer you a coupon for 150 U$D for future purchases
We want another chance to scam you
We regret this incident
We regret we couldn’t scam you
We are sorry this issue was not resolved to your satisfaction
We are sorry you don’t accept being scammed; we are sorry you figured out we were trying to scam you

DO you think EXPEDIA will answer you………….

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

…………..if you send this letter to them? 

Dear EXPEDIA customer support team                                          
 I would appreciate if you can give me your version about the “victimsofexpedia.com” affaire. Apparently there is a guy who created that site (http://www.victimsofexpedia.com) and claims that EXPEDIA tried to scam him.
He claims that EXPEDIA failed to deliver an airline ticket (twice) and later, instead of fixing the problem (originated by EXPEDIA) you ignored several messages from him and from KLM to arrange his trip.
He also claims that EXPEDIA, repeatedly lied to him and tried to scam him by reimbursing only 800 U$D when actually EXPEDIA charged his credit card for 1,254.95 U$D.  If this is true, it is fraud anywhere and makes you a “scammer”. Even a kid can realize that.
According to him, he could recover the full amount of his money after 6-7 month only after he provided to his credit card company proof of your lies and attempt to scam him. Since I don’t know his name, I’m providing his Case ID: [REQ:21826350]. I’m sure you have all the details about his case.
It is difficult to believe that a legitimate company like EXPEDIA would do such horrible things to a customer, thus, I would also like to know why EXPEDIA does not sue him for libel and slander. Is EXPEDIA afraid? Is EXPEDIA trying to avoid more bad publicity? . According to him, you prefer to be silent and continue your  “unethical business practice” because you might be able to make billions cheating other customers.
It is difficult to believe that an honest company (Is EXPEDIA honest?) will tolerate this kind of lies (or is he telling the truth?).
He is also making fun of your company. These two pages are really hilarious:
http://www.victimsofexpedia.com/jokes.01.htm
http://www.victimsofexpedia.com/templates.htm
This is how he refers about this incident and about your company::
-          “EXPEDIA tried to scam me (1,254.95 USD)…..and failed miserable” (too pathetic for EXPEDIA)
-          “The most expensive 0.00 U$D EXPEDIA ever made” (very funny, since you failed to scam him).
Moreover, he is conducting an interesting survey about EXPEDIA: these are the results so far:
 

   The more I read about his case, the more I believe him. Regardless, I’m sending you this letter but he says that you will probably never answer this message because you are only interested in money. According to him, for EXPEDIA it is more profitable to cheat customers than to answer their  questions.
Anyway, thanks for the time.
Sincerely Yours truly
 

EMOB: the most succesful and dangerous travel scam

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

 EMOB = EXPEDIA Model Of Business (Electronic MOB)
 
If you buy a ticket for 1249,95 U$D EXPEDIA will charge you a 5 U$D fee and it will appear a total 1254,95 U$D transaction in your credit card.
What if EXPEDIA fail to provide the service? What if EXPEDIA never arrange your trip?
Who keeps that money? Do you think that the airline see that money? Do you think EXPEDIA cheats people to make the airlines richer? 
If the airline never sees that money then EXPEDIA can make a fortune by simply selling something (tickets, rooms). Then, they just need to find an excuse (or even lie or cheat you) to not provide the service and keep your money. Read about the dirty tricks EXPEDIA can use to do that . (actually EXPEDIA used many of them when they tried to scam me. (Read my case ).
In my case the conclusion is pretty simple:
EXPEDIA failed to arrange my trip, then EXPEDIA lied to me = EXPEDIA tried to scam me.
No matter what EXPEDIA says it was an attempt to scam me.
 
Be careful, you might be the next victim

EXPEDIA failed to arrange my trip, then EXPEDIA lied to me = EXPEDIA tried to scam me.
No matter what EXPEDIA says it was an attempt to scam me.
 
Be careful, you might be the next victim
 

Do you think EXPEDIA will answer to you………….

………….If you send this letter to them?

Dear EXPEDIA customer support team                                          
 I would appreciate if you can give me your version about the “victimsofexpedia.com” affaire. Apparently there is a guy who created that site (http://www.victimsofexpedia.com) and claims that EXPEDIA tried to scam him.
He claims that EXPEDIA failed to deliver an airline ticket (twice) and later, instead of fixing the problem (originated by EXPEDIA) you ignored several messages from him and from KLM to arrange his trip.
He also claims that EXPEDIA, repeatedly lied to him and tried to scam him by reimbursing only 800 U$D when actually EXPEDIA charged his credit card for 1,254.95 U$D.  If this is true, it is fraud anywhere and makes you a “scammer”. Even a kid can realize that.
According to him, he could recover the full amount of his money after 6-7 month only after he provided to his credit card company proof of your lies and attempt to scam him. Since I don’t know his name, I’m providing his Case ID: [REQ:21826350]. I’m sure you have all the details about his case.
It is difficult to believe that a legitimate company like EXPEDIA would do such horrible things to a customer, thus, I would also like to know why EXPEDIA does not sue him for libel and slander. Is EXPEDIA afraid? Is EXPEDIA trying to avoid more bad publicity? . According to him, you prefer to be silent and continue your  “unethical business practice” because you might be able to make billions cheating other customers.
It is difficult to believe that an honest company (Is EXPEDIA honest?) will tolerate this kind of lies (or is he telling the truth?).
He is also making fun of your company. These two pages are really hilarious:
http://www.victimsofexpedia.com/jokes.01.htm
http://www.victimsofexpedia.com/templates.htm
This is how he refers about this incident and about your company::
-          “EXPEDIA tried to scam me (1,254.95 USD)…..and failed miserable” (too pathetic for EXPEDIA)
-          “The most expensive 0.00 U$D EXPEDIA ever made” (very funny, since you failed to scam him).
Moreover, he is conducting an interesting survey about EXPEDIA: these are the results so far:
 

   The more I read about his case, the more I believe him. Regardless, I’m sending you this letter but he says that you will probably never answer this message because you are only interested in money. According to him, for EXPEDIA it is more profitable to cheat customers than to answer their  questions.
Anyway, thanks for the time.
Sincerely Yours truly
 
 

 

Tips to avoid being scammed by online travel sites (like EXPEDIA)

Monday, May 28th, 2007

I will use EXPEDIA as an example since they tried to scam me (man, they went the extra mile to try to steal 1,254.95 U$D from my credit card for a service they failed to provide.

Read my case at: http://www.victimsofexpedia.com/mycase.htm )

1) Never trust what an EXPEDIA agent, supervisor or customer advisor tell to you by phone. When you call EXPEDIA you will listen a voice telling that “for quality purposes, your call might be recorded”. This is a trick because you think that you are covered and that you might have a chance to use these recording in the future if you have to dispute something. The fact is that EXPEDIA will probably use those recording only if it is for EXPEDIA’s benefit. Otherwise they will tell you “We random record conversations” and you will not have any chance to prove what someone from EXPEDIA told to you by phone.

2) If you have a recording machine try to record the conversation by yourself. I know this is not useful because few people have this kind of devices. In addition, EXPEDIA will put you on hold for hours before they actually talk to you.

3) Ask confirmation by e-mail of anything EXPEDIA tells to you by phone. This is the only way you can have some document  to fight at the legal level. Remember that most of the times the agents will tell you that they will send an e-mail to you but they are actually lying.

4) Never use the web-based e-mail system EXPEDIA provides in their “customer support” web page. You will not have any copy of the messages you sent to them by this system. Most of the times (if you are complaining about something) EXPEDIA will simply ignore your messages. More important, since you don’t have a copy of the message, EXPEDIA will probably deny receiving your messages.

5) Contact EXPEDIA from an e-mail address that allows you to keep a copy of the message you sent to them (like yahoo, gmail)

6) Always try to talk to a “customer specialist advisor”. This is the highest level you can reach at EXPEDIA. When you call for the first time an “agent or representative” will talk to you. According to my own experience, these agents or representative most of the times are not going to solve your problem and they will put you on hold for hours until you can talk to a “supervisor”. This second level is also non useful since “supervisors” have almost no authority and they will put you again  on hold for hours until you talk to a “customer advisor specialist”. These specialist will try to do anything to keep your money. They will lie to you. They will deny information, they will tell you it is your fault . Even if you show to them evidence that EXPEDIA’s employees at the lower level made the mistake  they will try to keep your money and they will tell you that “that is all EXPEDIA can do for you”. In the best cases, they will  reimburse part of the money they charged in your credit card (meaning EXPEDIA will try to steal the rest). They will give you a “coupon” (meaning that you have to spend more money using EXPEDIA if you want to use this coupon. Finally, if you still complain they will ignore you.

6) EXPEDIA most of the times will ignore you when you complain. Here is when you realize EXPEDIA  is ‘”cheating” you.

If EXPEDIA is cheating you or is trying to cheat you:

1) If the service was paid by a credit card, ask your credit card company to fight for you. It works!!! I recovered the full amount of a ticket (1,254.96 U$D) EXPEDIA tried to steal from me. This is probably the only way you can recover money from EXPEDIA without hiring a lawyer. Most credit card companies are powerful enough to recover money from bad companies because they prefer to keep customers and not be part of a fraud scheme. They know they can be sued by the cardholder if they are found to be part of a fraud scheme.

2) You can Send your complaint to many different websites to let people The more you spread the word the better for consumers.
