I recently purchased some relocation software that promised me an easy, convenient, and affordable relocation from my current location of Boston to the place where I am moving, New York. First off, the software arrived within three days; the company promised that it would ship within one business day. Okay, I can deal with a minor setback. It’s not like I’m moving tomorrow or anything. When I finally installed the software, you would not believe what I found, or did not find to be more accurate. The file was a random compilation of outdated virus scans. I can not believe how badly I got ripped off for that so-called “relocation software!” I paid almost two hundred dollars for that software! I called the number that was listed in the on-line ninety day warranty description. I was honestly not all that surprised to hear a man’s voice answer with: “Good afternoon, Joe’s Pizza. How may I help you?” Now, I’m stuck with two hundred dollars worth of worthless “relocation software,” no way to contact the scammers that sold me this software, and a house that needs to be sold within two months. I have no idea where I am going to go from here.
