I too was scammed by Alumna Wallet

It is impossible to reach their customer service and the ordering method on the website is a convoluted. I wanted two wallets, the original and the bonus one. I received four and a bill for $38 plus. It is not worth the time and effort to try and get a refund, so my only recourse is to let everyone I know (including all my e-mail addressees) not to puchase these. Now i'm getting a message that this websied (Pissed Customer) is down for maintenance. Is this another scam? Why does this message have to be exactly 100 words?

Guest

I am still waiting for my Alumna Wallets. Spent $22.97 for 1 set. It's been a month now and I am pissed..

Sterlington Collections NY 11722-****--sent bill 4 jewelry--no order sent. never heard of them b4.

Today I received a bill from Sterlington Collections in Central Islip NY. Shipment date 3/16/11 for Emerald Cut Amethyst Coll and Emerald Cut Amethys Ring size 11.

I never made the order. But I received a bill for $160.60. I never received any product either. It is all a bunch of bologna.

Somehow they have my address. Thank goodness they don't have my Credit Card info. They "trust I have been enjoying the jewelry collection I recently received from Sterlington Collections."

They say they haven't received authorization from my credit card company for the remaining payments due.

I havent made any payments that I know of.

Better check my bank statement again.

I bought one of the Lady Diana Rings back in June and this I paid for. I also received a Bracelet in the mail that I did not order nor want.

I tried to contact the company and they kept passing me off and disconnecting. They went into my bank and took out the money for this bracelet. I called the bank and they said they get calls about this company from time to time. They (the bank) are refunding my money and going after this company for the payment.

They have also cancelled my credit card so they cannot do this again. It is big business with Sterling Aka Telebrand. I really hope we learn lessons from this. They will rip off anyone.

I had a Lawyer standing by and willing to go Pro Bono. :roll

Aluma Wallet Cheated me out of money

I ordered 2 Wallets and it took 8 weeks to get them. When they came I opened one of them and it fell apart, (indestructable my *** I didn't even open the other one of the Chinese Junk. I got a RMA # and sent them back for a refund. 6 weeks later I checked my credit card statement and only got part of the money owed, RIPPED OFF AGAIN. Don't Buy Them unless you want to get PISSED also. I've learned my lesson on buying stuff from telemarketers they make sound so good but when you get them most likely there from China and they are JUNK.

Aluma wallet is JUNK!!!!!!

When I ordered aluma wallet two and half months ago they said it could take up to 6 weeks to get it took 10 weeks. I thought I only ordered 2 but got 4. There website is set to keep asking you if you want more, more, more and then asks if you what to buy other products as well what do you know this is what scammers do. When I finally received aluma wallet 10 weeks later I took one look at it and knew I was scammed the product was cheaply made, poor design, they didn't put much thought into clasp to open the wallet. When I called customer service the lady wasn't any help I was going to have to pay to ship it back and only get a couple of dollars back on my $50 dollar purches witch I thought was only going to be $10 dollars because by the time you navigate there horrible website and pay for shipping and handling I was charged far more then I should have been. Don't wast your time with this company or their products they are not even good for a paper weight.

GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!! TELEBRANDS IS A RIPOFF COMPANY!!!!!!!! Take my advice , DON'T BUY THIS CHINESE *** !!!

Guest

The aluma wallet is definitley junk. I opened it after I received it and now it won't close. Save your money.

Guest

***, I should have read this report on that Alumawallet first before I ordered it... I ordered this on March 4th and even paid an aditional 10.00 to hve my order shipped sooner than the 3-6 weeeks.

It's been a month and I still haven't received it.

Will call them punks tomorrow.

First time I ordered from As Seen on TV and this will be my last.

Guest

That's right. It's a cheap plastic piece of junk.

Cards don't even fit right inside it. No way a car could run over it without crushing it into zillions of pieces. Latch sounds like a pop gun going off, so you won't want to use it just anywhere. Barely room for half the stuff I carry in a normal wallet.

Should have read some reviews first.

Live and learn. Aluma Wallet is a SCAM!!!

I would think twice before ordering on line with thses guys again. I am out an additional 21.87 it is a big hassel to try & talk to them even though I ve tried about 5 times. I received way to many when I only ordered 2 to begin with & they are not very helpful at all

:( They charge my credit card $77 and I only go four. Don't order from their web-site.

There is NO WAY to preview your order or change it. This company is nothing more than a big rip off. Stay away from them!!!

I should have read their reviews before I ordered, but I didn't. Hope all our reviews help someone else.

No capabilty to review order nor confirmation of order, just account debited.

Still no confirming email from Carl (gave me no last name but said he was the supervisor I was asking to speak to) confirming our conversation in which he stated that once the order was returned I would be credited ALSO for the shipping, handling, processing and any other fees you guys can possibly come up with. I asked Carl to please send me a confirming email of our conversation early afternoon yesterday restating the above, however, still no email from Carl. So much for not doing what I was assured he would do. I ordered the wallet February 20, 2010, was unable to review my order, NEVER received a confirmation of the order, and had assumed the order was lost in cyberspace. UNTIL.... out of the blue, $39 is deducted from my checking account. IS THIS ANY WAY TO RUN A BUSINESS???? Customer Service needs to work on their customer service, as it is very poor. At this point I'm not even interested in the product, as all else was so poorly handled. Additionally, why the cost is so high is beyond me. The offer was one wallet for $10.99, shipping $6.99, and a bonus wallet for a mere $4.99 processing but was charged $39. Consumer beware!

Thanks for the head's up!

Will check Amazon or E-Bay for similar product.

Guest

Ihave ordered for 2 for 10 which totalled $22.97.There is no confirmation that my order is complete and sumitted. Why Iam writing this is that,initially I made mistake and put 2 wallets instead of one.There was no column to rectify the mistake.Iam scared that I shall be charged the first option of a tatal of $41.98 instead of $22.97 for one order plus bonus of one.Please check rectify.

Guest

Through online advertise and as seen on TV: Buy 1 Alluma wallet and get 1 free, also free shipping so I did order it by credit card but they charge for 01 wallet and $11.98 for shipping ..I did call to cancel my order twice times and on the 3rd time next following day they said SORRY my order was processed and it on the way shipping ??? So how do you think about it ? Bad company and they trick customers...Every body be careful before to order it ....

Guest

:( I placed in order online about 2 months ago and have not gotten them yet I tried to call all the numbers that I found on here and on their web sits but could never get to a person. If you havent ordered this yet dont.

Guest

They got me too. They charged me over $54.

I still want the wallet so I'll be on the phone forever it sounds like. :(

Guest

:( my mother in law ordered these after she saw the Tv ad for buy one get one free with free S/H. thought it was agood deal.

NOT. they try to charge her $99 for a $20 order she told them to cancel.(placed order on phone soshe still had the #) but what a paoin in the ***

Guest

This company is a fraakin' joke. I saw the advertisement on TV and went to place an order online.

When you order, you are not given a total until your order is processed, and guess what . . . they charge you a *** of a lot more than what you are expecting, try 3 TIMES MORE!!!

I was on hold FOREVER trying to get Customer Service (guess they were busy getting yelled at as well). THey informed me that they had no way of being able to check on my order status and that I had to wait 24 hrs. - 48 hrs. and then call them back to have the transaction reversed.

THey didn't email email an order confirmation so, within 30 minutes of placing my order and waiting for ever on the phone to complain, I simply cancelled my credit card and reported them. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THESE PEOPLE, THIS IS A SCAM !

! !

Guest

If you can't get this company to give your money back, if they haven't taken it yet. Just stop payment on the order to your bank. And explain to your Bank. I had this happen to me with another product I was going to buy and my bank helped me out. Thank goodness for once it worked out for me with a problem such as everyone is having in here.

I was going to buy Aluma Wallet online and usually most honest companies have a 1-800 number on website but, this one didn't. Only on the TV was one. So, I go thinking maybe I should check into any complaints and I found you guys.

Sorry to read about all your headaches with trying to buy what looks like a honest Co. that understands the dilemma people having a need for compact wallets with security against thieves. Too bad they seem like they are just one rip-off scam also.

Thank you all for taking the time to write in about your comments on this Aluma Wallet.

Good Luck in getting your money back or your wallets finally.

Telebrands ... Do Not Pay Them A Dime.

Utterly fake company. chefbasket.com. Never shipped the Chef Baskets or knives ordered in February. Just look at their *** website ... was totally ripped off by these *** artists. Do just a little googling and you will see the same complaints from everybody. Those that do get any product ... and I'd really like to know who ... say they are garbage. This is a *** company that needs to be shut down. It is too bad I did not do any real research on them before I bought the chef baskets ... I just do not want others to fall for this scam.

I actually worked at telebrands. The company is not a *** artist company.

They sell inexpensive items to people who want them. Are th

ey the best products ever??? No.

But it big tabacco has a right to sell cigarettes then Telebrands can sell what they want. Blame the people like yourself for buying things that are not needed.

Guest

Yes...virtually everything from Telebrands is garbage (Aluma-Wallet, WinshieldWonder, etc etc etc). Can't understand why people continue to buy from them.

You'd think with all the complaints around the internet the word would spread like wildfire. Only time will tell.

Heeltastic dot com shipping is a rip off

This company will charge outrageous shipping if you aren't careful. I ordered online on their website and was told at that time that I got free priority shipping. Three weeks (not priority) later I got my package to find that I was charged 23.97 for shipping of a very small, light weight package! I immediately called the company and they stated right off the bat that they would refund $10 of the shipping charges. There were no questions asked. I think they take their chances when they charge you an outrageous amount that you won't notice or complain. It still seems like too much was charged but I guess I'll live with it. I do know I will never order from this company again!

that sucks of the online ordering but it's less that $10 at walmart lol, if you don't have one near you would be cheaper to have a friend that lives near one buy it and send it to you!

Guest

What number did you call to get the $10 refund for the shipping charges? I just placed the order and they charged me almost $30. They said that cannot cancel the order...

Aluma Wallets charged us for 4 wallets we didn't order

I call it a 'scam'. My husband went into the aluma wallets site to check on the shipping amount in case he decided to try the 'buy one wallet and get on free' deal they were offering. To get the shipping amt - he had to enter his credit card. They captured that info before he was able to delete it. (Telebrands) then charged our credit card and sent us 4 wallets and charged for two. They sent a postcard telling us that if we didn't want them to send the card back. I did that but to no avail.

Do not waste your time

Just called to place an order for the aluma wallet. It is automated, they just try to sell you everything except what you called for. Then after they get your card info they never let you speak to anyone. I just cancelled my card after trying to get them to cancell the order because they are so unproffesional. Do not waste your time. Why is everything so difficult, I need to type to have a minimum of 100 words, good grief! I hope this company goes belly up. Have a good evening everyone. I have nothing else to say sorry.

cheap piece of plastic, broke in a matter of seconds

Guest

The aluma wallet is the biggest piece of dog *** I've ever seen.....seriously hasta be one of the worst products ever made....it doesn't matter if its water proof if u sit on it one time...and it break!!! Worthless...DONT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!

Guest

The aluma wallet is a worthless piece of krap. The catch is cheap plastic which broke within five minutes.

The crooks who sell this junk already got my money, but I can at least spread the word and prevent you from making the same mistake. Telebrands (who sold this to me) are at least guilty of fraud and quite possibly larceny. I will never trust them again. It probably won't work as a faraday cage either (the characteristic which protects the info on the strip on your credit cards).

I never got the chance to test it; the shoddy thing broke too soon. save your money - DON'T BUY THE ALUMA WALLET!
