Default Buyer Beware

Due to recent problems with the delivery of Home Savvy E-Zine, Nick asked me to post this:

I am one of many members who subscribe to HomeSavvy E-zine which is offered by Robert Humphries who in a InterNACHI member. He did not deliver his online magazine this month and is not responding to e-mails or voice mails sent to his business. I have requested a $360 refund for an automatic charge to my credit card for an additional yearly subscription. I get no response from Robert or his staff. He has stolen $360 and doesn't seem to care.

****, I'm in the same boat.

I'll give him a week or so, and then do the same as you Linas, contacting my credit card company, since I have a recent renewal from his company on my last statement.

thanks for the update...Keep us posted if you hear different.

Didn't he have a death in the family some time ago? Perhaps he's out of town again attending to personal business, hopefully he's alright.

He is not a 1 man show. He's a con artist. 1 month of no responses to numerous clients and no delivery of services = scumbag.

If he is, he could atleast let all his subscribers know about it. Every month it is later and later, we have now lost 1 month of service. I demand a refund or credit. What does everyone else think?

I went through this about a year ago. I contacted my credit card and told them anymore charges would be unauthorized.

Ditto here,
I sent an email about Oct 18th and again last week- no response. I guess I have to cancel the subscription through my CC too. It's sad when things like this happen.
