Infinity Dish review: infinity dish scam 43

I received the Gift Request Form for $250 (less than yours) and then they sent me the Gas Gift Voucher. They request that you verify account activation for 120 days and provide a recent statement. I did this. The request went to the Chicago address on their form. The package was sent certified mail. It got forwarded to Nevada and then back to me! I have sent another request and have checked the tracking with USPS. It has again been forwarded somewhere...don't know where yet. I suppose it will end up coming back to me. I don't know if this is the Chicago Post Office problem or the Infinity Dish problem at this point. It certainly is frustrating, and those on the phone are from some place like India and don't really know that much about what is going on. Is it a scam...or just inefficiency. I think Dish Network needs to find another representative and in the U.S. please. They have not yet told me they are ouot of gifts! Wow!

I too, signed up with a Dish authorized retailer (by receiving one of their many flyers in the mail); and once I received an email regarding the information I needed to claim my free gift, I quickly found out that really nothing they offer is "free." Everything has a 'hook' to it.

For instance, for the $300 free groceries, you have to send them $19.95 for "registration and processing" fees, PLUS they want that sent to them via Certified Mail which is approximately $3.00 more; that's $23.00 so far, out of your pocket.

My first choice was to get a digital camera - why not, I thought to myself. But here was the catch: if I chose to get their "free" camera, I would have to pay out $14.95 for "shipping & handling" PLUS the $23.00 as explained above. That's $38.00 total out of pocket. I did call to ask what brand of camera they were offering and could I possibly see a picture of the camera. I was told "It's a reliable, name brand." And, "No, no pictures are given."

I am getting the same run around. Your send in a form and wait 2 months then give them a call and you receive the next piece of mail to complete. It has been a complete run around. In order to get the $300 gas voucher you have to pay $35 up front then send in monthly gas payment of at least $100 to receive a $25 voucher. If you do not meet the $100 a month you can not put in another payment to receive a voucher. I would like to know how to file a complaint with them. I am going to start with the State Attorney General.

In late January of this year I signed up for DishTV through a 3rd party "InfinityDish" that promised a $350 gas card, among other prizes. Nothing was ever provided by InfinityDish and DishTV says that it has no control over what resellers offer. Every time I call (approx 30 times) InfinityDish and request to speak to a supervisor I get forwarded to to DishTV customer service. So far there hasn't been any resolution. When I attempt to terminate my DishTV service I'm confronted with an early disconnect fee because I agreed to a 2-year contract. I relied to my detriment because of InfinityDish’s false advertizing. What can I do? This has me really frustrated.

I see unlike most that I have had a wonderful experience with Infinity Dish...
Everything that they promised me I received, they were very upfront about the processing fee and I stated that I would not see any unathorized charges on my credit card for which I did not. I had no problem paying the processing fee due to me knowing the company has to make their money as well and I was completely aware of them being a Authorized retailer. I already know that it will take time to receive my gift so I just check the tracking info screen that they provide. Atleat they provide us with that "MOST COMPANIES DO NOT".

I AM A SATISFIED CUSTOMER!

I made an appointment with Infinity Dish on 6-19-09 to have services installed. The technician got to my apartment to discover that he couldn't install the dish because he had to place it on the ground which is against the aparment complex's guidelines. The guy told me he would call the "sales rep" to let her know and left. Once he left, I called the same number back to get my "start up" fee refunded back to my account since I didn't have services installed. Noone was available to take my calls and they kept sending me to a voicemail in which I never received a call back. I have called several numbers...being transfered to several departments. I do not have a resolution yet. But I am not giving up. Let's all write to the BBB. Do not give up.

Update on D. Minerva from 60 days ago. After my 3rd attempt to contact Infinity by sending in my voucher by certified mail with return receipt, I finally had it show on their screen as received! It has not moved forward from there ... i.e., to shipping and handling, authorized and sent which are the next 3 categories.
I spoke with a representative on June 18, and it wa stated that there would not be any shipping and handling fee. I was told I would receive the gas voucher next week. I called today June 23 and was told it takes time!
the gift voucher would be sent next Wednesday and to allow 3 weeks from then for delivery. I asked why it takes so long and she replied that it is being sent from INDIA! As one complaintant stated it seems to go thru a series of steps ... the squeaky wheel gets the oil type of mentality. I am still squeaking! I do belive that this is some type of a scam in hopes that most will give up. Perhaps they eventually do send some items but it is a very few that have the experience that "I am a satisfed customer has". Makes me wonder what "I AM" was doing on this complaints site in the first place. Seems a bit odd if you are satisfied, why would you even look unless you are part of this scam! I will wait the period suggested, and then the BBB certainly needs to hear about this. I am very disappointed that Dish chooses to use this type of retailer. Not very smart on their part.

Second update by D. Minerva. I just called Infinity Dish. The man I spoke with stated that Infinity Dish hires a rebate firm to take care of these rebates. They changed firms approximately 3 months ago. They recognized that problems were frequent. Still seems it is with India. I will allow them the additional time to send the rebate and then I will complaint to the BBB. My certified receipt requested forms were sent on April 20, 2009. As stated earlier in my posting, that finally showed up and moved the information to show they had received the statements to verify the service for 120 days. I will let you know if this actually comes to pass that I finally receive the rebate.

Well I've heard the ads on the radio play over and over trying to get people to get infinitydish. Hey I thought it was a great deal seeing now that in order to have cable in my town you have to have a high ### deposit plus two months of your cable paid in advance. So when I heard the ad on the radio on June 22, 2009, I decided to try them out: not knowing I was not going to be able to recieve the installion. Ok, the guy came on June 24, 2009 about 1-1:30, and he determined that he wasn't going to be able to install due to insight of trees and he called I guess a service manager to come out in look also and the both determined that there was no way a signal could be picked up. I asked hey what shall I do about the $59.99 that was taking off my card, he said call customer service and they can help get that refunded back to you. So that's what I did. I spoke with a lady I explained to her I need to get my money back since I could recieve the service, she then stated by law they have up to 30 days to place my money back on my card, but she'll submit the email to her supervisor and it should take 7-10 days. Ok on July 1, 2009 I called back and I guess whoever I talked to resubmitted the form and told me the full 7-10 weren't over yet, so about July 7, I was mad about waiting so long so I called back and spoke with another person who was like he doesn't know why I haven't been refunded yet and it was pretty late, so he said he would send an email and would call me back first thing the next day but guess what... I never got a call so on July 10 or 14 I called again no one answered I called again on July 17 no answer again, I called again today July 20 no answer but I'm going to call all day til I get an answer. I need my money. ~a very anger lady~ oh yeah I forgot to mention I did get cable a couple days later with direct tv and it's great

I had a very similar experience with InfinityDish. Once I listened to the "disclosures" I decided not to go with them. I had to actually scream at the manager (supposed) "tara" and she continued to speak over me and even though I was telling her in no uncertain terms to CANCEL the transaction, she would not listen to me, was EXTREMELY rude, spoke over me, etc. I finally had to yell that I did not want this. I am glad the only thing they got from me was $25 "hold" on my checking account for the "Credit check". Apparently, according to my financial institution branch manager, this is legal. It came off about midnight of the day they said it would, so if they tell you its the "1st" plan on the "2nd". You wont see it during the regular day hours. Please DO NOT GO WITH INFINITYDISHNETWORK. THIS IS A SCAM, BE FOREWARNED! They are rude, crude and have idiots working there. I feel sorry for the idiots because at least i like where i work. How would you or better yet, why would you want to scam people? I wonder how they sleep at night. If they were locally based, i would go to see "tara" in person and give her my complaint in person and see if she wants to talk down to me then. It would be great to meet her face to face and see just who she thinks she is.

It is a scam. Received $300 Gas Rebate form. Requires the following:

-choose a gas company (you must continually use this charging at least $100 for 12 months. Submit monthly the $100 plus, send self-addressed stamped envelope.

-to do this you must provide addl. $35.00 which will be refunded when you complete the entire 12 months. I am sure there are time limits on the submissions but they do not give that information up front ... much the same as they did when you selected gas rebates. I think we all thought it would be much like LOWES when they refund back to you on a VISA card $65.00 for having an appliance delivered (you pay first for it, then get the card as a rebate) .. but it is not the same, not even close!

-you do have the choice of many gas stations...as well as Murphy at Walmart but the process is so complicate they hope you will not do it, or you will pay the $35.00 and still not do it!

- been scammed once, not again. Best of luck to anyone wishing to do this. Bad judgment on Dishnet for getting involved with this SCHEME! It is devious at best and totally misprepresented. Wonder if this is even legal. Does not seem so to me.

And in addition either a new company is involved or it is a branch of Infinity Dish, i.e.,

Hello everyone,

I signed up for service three months ago with Infinity Dish. I opted for the $300 GasPass voucher they were offering - and I still haven't received it. I called Infinity Dish, and they told me to email Premier Choice Rewards (the company that fulfills these requests). I did email them, several times. No response whatsoever. Of course this is a scam - and we need to nail Infinity Dish, Premier Choice Rewards, and Dish Network (they provide express authority to Infinity Dish to sell their services - as such, they are agents of Dish and liable for their conduct).

I am a 3rd year law student. I will be graduating this May. This has deceptive trade practice (class action) written all over it. I think we should start a group, compile enough victims, and file suit. I have a really good attorney friend that will be interested in filing this class action on our behalf if I gather enough willing plaintiffs. Please email me if you are interested in joining. I opened a gmail account for this specific purpose: dishclassaction@gmail.com.

We all deserve what we bargained for. And, Infinity Dish / Dish network should be enjoined from further fraudulent sales practices. Also, is anyone else annoyed with the Dish "promo" services. They literally have you on 10 different promotions (e.g. HBO & Showtime for 3 months free, HD programming for 6 months, etc.) hoping that you will forget to cancel one of them in time - so they can charge you. Also a scam tactic, in my opinion.

1) When did you sign up for service (date if possible) -

2) With who (if you remember the name of the sales representative) -

3) What option did you choose (what promotional gift) -

4) What were you told about the promotion (details) -

5) What did you do when you realized that your promotional item was late (who did you call, what did they say) -

6) What type of service did you order (plan, contract length) -

7) Where do you currently live (City and State is fine) -

8) Do you have all of the documents from your installation -

The email address is: dischclassaction@gmail

The above questions are to be filled out in a reply email to dischclassaction@gmail.com, not posted on this board. Thanks again everyone!

I am one more victim of the same fraud...
Please let me know whats going on with the law suit. Should I send my information.

thanks.

I have been getting the 'run around' too for the last six months. They just now told me that my certificate, which I never received, has been voided because I didn't send certified mail. I sent it registered mail instead. I asked the rep why do I have to send it cert mail? You recv the letter without it being sent cert mail. She gave some lame excuse. I asked to speak to her mgr and she said she was the CS Mgr and there is no one else I could talk to. Whatever! This company is doing unfair practices and I would like to stop it. Another victim of this fraud...

Bishopdepot - email me at:

dishclassaction@gmail.com

I'm putting together a class action to sue this company. I was screwed by them a few months back.

Hello everyone - If you're interested in getting your money back - email me at:

will become another victim of this fraud
help...

I hope that I had known this site earlier. I just sent out my 2nd processing fee this afternoon. Now I know my hope is down to the dran. I've checked out the FTC site they have a form we can file . If we all file complaint at same time . They will do the investigation. This might be the best way to get these crooks out of the business.

Hey, yall just saved me a lot of head aches. I was just about to order from them, then I said to myself. Check them out first on the internet. I will not be using their services > If I know of anyone thinking about using their services I will tell them not to. The way you stop these foolish practices is to give them bad advertisement. If we all tell 5 people and those people tell 5 people and so on... There reputation will closed them down!

Everyone complains about the free gifts but what about the service? Was that satisfactory - installation and channels?

me toooooooooo! I was signed up dish net work since Dec2008, now almost a year I still haven't received anything yet! I also ask for the 300 gas voucher, I called them again and again and...

Nothing got back!

me toooooooooooooooooo! I signed up dish net work in Dec2008! almost 1 year, I did call and mail the form again, again and again! nothing gor back yet! I also order $300 gas voucher, when I call them, they always say receive nothing from me. then I send one more request letter from post office with tracking number. guest what, the address was not right on the from. the address is in Portland not Houston !

then i called AGAIN! they still say nothing been received, of couse their address was not right, then wait and call again couple of time, then they say received my letter, and they will send my voucher to me with in 3month. At the same time, I checked my letter was still in Portland but not Houston which they said where it should be! well they SAID they received, so i wait more then 5 month. and check on line said in prossess.

now, when I check the same web, the link is invalid, so nowhere I can check.

I called infinity dish customer sevices again, they said they changed the gift company! i need to choose from the new company. so now i am waiting for the book they gonna send me with in 3 more month. so WAIT! hopelly I can get at least 1 gift from them, not again!

talk about getting screwed, these people at infinity must be a bunch of idiots, they got me real good, Already a Dish customer for several years I called Infinity to see about getting hooked up at another residence where my daughter lives, first they tell me it will be $49.99 installation fee, I said O.K. and they took my info including my debit card
number, in which I had to repeat several times and my social security number, agreed on the Classic Silver 200 for $32.99, an extra $5.00 for local channels, and an extra$5.00 for a Duo Dvr, I agreed to this, then she put me on hold to set things up, her name was Delronica, she comes back and says its all set up but it will be $99.99 for the installation fee, I told her to forget about it I don't have that much in my account and
don't want to pay $99.99, she puts me on hold again, says she needs to talk to a supervisor, then come's back and says it will cost $213.56. I told her to forget the whole thing and cancel everything. Low and behold they made the installation the next day
and debited $213.56 out of my account. Now I am in the negative with my bank and live on a fixed income and don't even have money for food for the rest of the month. Plus
my bank will charge me $39.00 for being overdrawn three times because I had used my
debit card in the meantime, plus my bank will charge me $7.00 a day as long as I am negative. I am so pissed off at Infinity, I clearly told them NO I do not want to do this, I
JUST DON'T HAVE THE MONEY, I spoke perfectly good english, I am so angry for being
screwed like this, like most people I am trying to survive in tight times, this is such a disgrace, I want my money back. And as far as the FREE gift goes, which was a MP3
player, or a DVD player, or a Digital Camera, I haven't even gone there yet, but I assure
I will hound them everyday, maybe 3, 4, times a day.Boy am I pissed off...

i think you all sound so silly you really have nothing better to do. your not being scamed you just don't look in to things. if you took the time to read mybe you would learn something. first off the flyer says call today to recive your gift. at no time does it say free. second if you read the fine print it says the terms and conditions apply for all gift and rebaits. it also say processing and shipping and handling fees apply to all gifts. it also states that the processing fee is NON- REFUNDABLE. it also states this in the LEGAL disclosures that you hear at the end of the sale. so at the end of the day its really up to you to read the WHOLE flyer than be smart about your desicion.

Yes...same thing with me...I will be calling the Dish Network. They are the ones who told me about the gift so if its a scam...they need to stop promoting this. Why don't we all call the "source" of the problem, where we signed on for the service!

i really don't understand you people all of this because of a gift that isn't worth much so you mean to tell me that you sighned on two something that you have to be with for two years just to recive a gift that you could have easily bought yourselves. seems like to me you need a law suite toward yourselves because thats the most rediculious thing i have ever heard. seems like to me the companys plain worked sounds like great markating on there part. lol thats like me going and buying a car just to get a blender hello does that make any scence to any of you. i guess not . maybe the true problem is that what really needs to happen is that you need to stop watching so much tv and pick up book and than maybe just maybe reality would set in and you would understand that you NEVER EVER get something for NOTHING .wake up people.

OK, so I was considering signing up with Infinity Dish but after reading all these complaints not sure. When I did call, I was offered some kind of I'pod and a gift card but I was not interested in the gifts I was just trying to get all the details about their service. Now what I want to know is besides not getting the gifts, how is the service? That's what I'm more concerned about, I really don't care about the gift. I'm one of those people that believe that nothing is free so that's why I'm not really worried about when or if I do get the gifts. I'm more concerned about the service, and I haven't really heard anyone complaint about the service just the promised gifts. So can all of you that are complaining about the gifts give me some kind of info regarding the cable service. Please please, pretty please please Ü I need to make a decision quick.

If anybody is interested in getting satellite service through DISH Network, call them directly or go through a local authorized retailer. For all those that got scammed by Infinity, all I can repeat is "Buyer Bware". When I recieved the Infinity flyer offering gas cards, free DVD players and other gifts, I read the fine print and did due dilligence to find out what the details were. I quickly found out about the ridiculous requirements for redeeming the gas cards and the high S/H charges required to get a $20 DVD player or whatever cheap gift they were offering.

I am in no way suggesting that Infinity did nothing wrong or that any of those wronged by them should not pursue them. I just think the time for persistance was before you said "yes" or before you signed on the dotted line.
"If it sounded to good to be true..." . You know the rest.

I signed up with Infinity Dish and my installation date was 03/06/2010, nobody came out to do the installation and nobody called me to explain why.
I cancelled my account and I cancelled my installation and requested my refund but was given several telephone numbers to call and each time was given the run around.
There was a very rude guy from Infinity Dish who told me that a representative from Dish Network was "on drugs"! for giving me his phone number to call.
I have never had to deal with such rude and unproffessional people before.
Needless to say I called my bank this morning and put a stop payment on the payment that was taken out by Infinity Dish.
L.

I'm curious about the service...

Anyone have any information about that?

Thanks.

I too have recently been a victim of dish network we had Comcast cable which was getting a little pricy although their service was great and they really seemed to care about their customers. My neighbor came to me one day he had just had dish network installed in his house, he said the picture was clearer then Comcast and he got a few more HD channels. So we decided to try dish network they were offering 200 hundred channels and some pay channels 19.99 a month for 12 months up to six rooms with one installation
Fee of 99.00 sounds like a good deal. Wrong ! they came out and installed the dish and 1 receiver which only controls 2 TVs. When we complained to the customer service they said we never asked for more then one receiver well if u read the add it says up to six rooms free no cost for equipment. Now why would any one with 4 TVs in 4 separate rooms only want 1 receiver, but they Say we didn’t request the additional receiver there for it will now cost us another 7.00 month plus 55.00 instillation fee. I have since been round and round with a supervisor trying to resolve this issue and they refuse to take care of the problem. I would advise any one thinking of switching to dish network to reconsider this very dishonest company which obviously dose not care about their costumers. I will be contacting the better business offices.

I am also a victim of the infinity fraud process. I have called not only infinity, but Direct TV also to complain of monies taken from my account.
I did not even schedule anyone to come to my home to hook anything up. I read the 'contract' that was sent to my email and rejected it (contract). I had the customer service fellow on the phone at the time I read and rejected the contract; I immediately informed him I do not want any of the services. NO CONTRACT WAS SIGNED and the company still proceeded to take monies from my account. I am so interested in this class action suite.

Everybody wants there $ 300.00 gas card and they should, but is there reception and service good ? Did anybody not get excepted after send in there processing fee . It says even if we don't except your credit check, we won't refund the one-time processing fee . Do they take your processing fee and run . My credit is kind of bad and I just don't want to send them the processing fee and get rejected and Dish just keep my money . Dish by far has the lowest prices to see TV . D.J. Jones .

wow, all you people are just so hung up on the "free" gift, if you want a digi camara go buy one at best buy. you call infinity dish, which is in south florida...Not India, to get free gifts? or you are mad because you have to pay 30 some dollars for $300 in gas cards? give me a break. you call infinity dish or dish network for satallite tv at an affordable price. you guys dont mention hardly at all anything about the tv service. maybe you all should go to direcTV. you are obviously stupid enough to be lured in by direcTVs advertisments of 50% off for 12 months not realizing that you have just signed a 24 month agreement and the second year you will go from $29.95 to $58.95 for two tvs, not including reciver fees or dvr services or HD programming. you wonder why Infinity Dish is not let go by Dish Network? its because They write %90 of all of dish networks deals in the united states. so if its not working out for you, then im sorry, you must be the only few customers one out of 14 millions who pooped their pants and are just looking to get something for nothing. enjoy that $49.95 processing fee, because i know mercedes-benz gives you a car with no money down just because you have good credit. i would like to be the first to welcome you to the dish network family and on behalf of infinity dish, i appriciate your business!

well i never had a problem with me infinity service. and they do play an automated disclosure so there is no way you can say that there were any unathurized charges. you also recieved all of that in writing at the time of your install. direct tv is going to be way more than what you would pay for dish, and your going to get less. direct gives you one dvr, dish give you two. right there is a huge difference. direct tv has only a hnd full of satellites dish has 14. better picture. dish has a great bbb rating compared to direct tv. how bout that!

I too signed up with Infinity Dish, which was a huge mistake. Install was 8/29/10 and since then I have been on the phone with both them and dish network. I was promised free programming, and a $25 gift card. I want what was promised. In today's economy, money is hard to come by, so when you get a little extra to purchase something you want, you should expect to get it without hassles, and getting hustled for your money.Its only "commen sense" to expect to get what you pay for. The programming indeed sucks, neither company keeps their end of the bargin or promises, they point fingers at each other when the complaint arises, all when customers pay their money and keep their ends of the bargin. I'm never late on my payments, and I have excellent credit. "CommenCents" Mercedes Benz will not just "give" you keys to a car just because you have good credit. You pay something before they hand you the keys. I know because I own 2 Mercedes, a G55 & CL63 and have excellent credit. You would know this if you owned one or visited a retailer for that matter. So the two dont equate. You and Cking both should get off of your 3 legged pedistals, unless dish & infinity are paying you both to PR their bad publicity. Which would explain the inadequate attempts to defend the companies' demerits!

Wow, you all are a bunch of stupid SoB's. Your REALLY complaining about paying $50 for $300 dollars in gas? You [censor]s... Its a $49.99 processing fee no matter WHERE you connect dish... I'll take the $300... Get a grip on reallity [censor]s... NOTHING is FREE... Dummies...
