April 22nd, 2007

4. Satellite TV dealers that charge hidden fees

Doing online business does not mean that there are no needs of a valid offline address. Any business in the States, both offline and online, are required to be registered with a valid mailing address. In case that you come to a dealer that fails o provide their valid offline contacts; most probably their business is illegal. Make sense?

This is a tricky part. Dishonest satellite TV dealers often hide the expensive shipping cost or installation cost from your order when you have not give out your credit card info. Once you had placed your order, these scammers might overcharge you with various hidden cost. To avoid such situation, you should ask clear enough about the nett cost of your order, and always reject the deal if they try to charge you extra from what they offered in the first place.

If a satellite TV deal sounds unrealistically good, it probably is. You should understand that all satellite TV dealers (also known as retailers) get their resell rights from the same satellite TV providers – either Dish Network or DirecTV. By all means, these dealers should be running their business with more or less the same operation cost (assuming all dealers are running their biz online), thus the dealers should be offering more or less the same to their customers in order to have a profitable business. If someone offers a much greater deal (too expensive free gifts or too cheap subscription fees) compare to the others, chances are they are just giving fake promises and offering fraud deals.
