Airfree Tires: RIPOFF SCAM
Air Free Tires, Inc. 104 Smith St. New Smyrna, FL. 32168 (386) 478-1861** fax 309 218-2459** Intl. 386 478-1861 This company is a SCAM and a RIPOFF. I was stupid enough to order tires from them on their website: 1. They charged my credit card the same day I ordered 2. They double billed my card for the same one order 3. They NEVER shipped the merchandise to me I have called their "customer service" phone number at least 30 times, and have NEVER spoken to a human being, only an answering machine. After 30 voicemails and 20 e-mails, I have NO response from them. The Florida Better Business Bureau has an "unsatisfactory" rating for them due to failure to respond to complaints. Next time, I will check with the BBB *before* I throw away my money. |

They're total crap anyway - Mr Dunlop got it right all those years ago. |

Sorry, it's a convention is some newsgroups that if something really makes you LOL, you mention that the purveyor of the comic quip has caused you to ruin your keyboard by spraying it with coffee. Of course, you usually haven't actually soaked the keyboard - it's just a sort of compliment. |

Commercially, much of it makes Mos Eisley look like the Vatican. Boca Raton, in particular, is recognized as the spam capitol of the planet. The most common business model in Florida is "grab the cash and run.") -- Typoes are a feature, not a bug. Some gardening required to reply via email.
