I just ran into a similar decptive practice ... an email from inKline, Subject PC Alert Check Computer For Spyware. It offers a choice of free or purchased Spyware scans; I opted for the quick, free, because my McAfee Internet Security keeps my pc safe, I believe.
The free scan found tons of spyware (surprise!?) When I clicked on the 'clean' button, I got a display informing me that 'cleaning' required purchase of their happy product.
I declined, and reran my McAfee virus/spyware scan, which found no viruses or spyware.

Surprisingly I just stumbled upon your letter on InkLine, since last night I have been trying to get in touch with someone there to no avail.
I had paid with my credit card $ 29.00 to download "PC BOOSTER" and after I had submitted my credit card I was never sent the promised "E-MAIL" leading me to the download site where supposedly I would receive my purchase.I am still waiting patiently (since last night) for someone from InkLine to at least respond to one of the three e-mails I've sent to them.

I bought software called TVolution ,got 2 links for download which did not work and could not reach the anymore!This cost me USD 29.95

On 11/17/05 Istumbled across an ad to turn my pc into a super tv, where I could order software for $29.95 and I would be able to download 1000+ channels from all over the world. It was called pc show buzz. I entered my credit card # four times, but it would never confirm my order. There was a phone # to call, and I called and they said they sold software for inkine but they had nothing to do with pc show buzz. They gave me na e-mail address and I e-mailed them on 11/18/05. Today is 11/22/05 and I still have not heard from them. So far, I don't think they have charged anything to my card, but I am not going to even try to get this software any more. Thank you!

I got an email from these people about the TVolution program, so I got it from one of my favorite DL spots http://files.lt, and it works alot like the internet TV on Winamp. It's good if you get the program for free, but not worth the 30 dollars...

i, who usually am so cautious and investigate everything to the extreme also fell for the tvolution scam and spent 30.00 and have come to the conclusion that the money is gone. it seems these people don't exist when it comes to responding to my emails to get a full refund if you are not satisfied with the product. i am mad at myself for not doing as i usually do and ignore such ads.

I had a chance to mess with the TVultion for about an hour. I didn't find any LIVE TV just stuff that's avaiable on the Internets.All it dows is provide a link to various TV shorts that are found in places like breakTV.com. Certainly not worth $30.

One of the best thing to do when the software that was promise to do something doesn't do anything is probably calling you credit card company and tell them that the company took your money without your permission, and if that company claim anything otherwise you can actually bring them to court.

Just an update, I did this when a ISP promise me a specific plan for $79. but did not provide the service and did not return any of my calls or e-mail. They did after I called my bank and told them that I gave them the money for a service which they did not provide. and from what the bank told me. they charged them an extra $25 for a transaction fee to take back the money for not providing the service that was promise. If you do it within the 15 days of your billing cycle which is about 40 days on your credit card or debit card, the bank can help you with this since its the LAW that they have to help. My banker told me that and he was happy to tell me because he got con before too.

I too came across the ad from inkline global to watch these thousands of channels with their $29.95 software. I became suspicious when it said I had to buy it midnight that same date, to get that price. I decided to wait a few days to see if it was back to the regular price. A few days later the deadline date for the special price had changed to midnight on the current date. Thats when I decided to do a search only to find out that people were being scammed.

Thanks! You guys just saved me $30.

I received the e-mail today about TVolution, which went to my Norton AntiSpam folder, and I decided to do some research on it. I check out reviews on this company and I came to this site. Been conned before, and so it's important to research anything online before you act.

Thank you.

Dittgo on the 1000 of free channels; the buy before midnight tonight is the red flag. Plus plus no outfit can make any real money with this no advertising, no recurring fee approach.

I was also caught in a scheme of a listing of cars that were auctioned at a very cheap price. It turned out to be some shmuck who posted links found in a search on google or something. They never replied back to my e-mails and I just had to dispute it through my credit card. If they are not responding to you, chances are they are not responding to credit card companies either. And if credit card companies don't get a response in a certain timeframe, they credit the money back.
I think you should try disputing it through your credit card by claiming product not as expected or something along those lines.

Thanks, I just saved $30!

I thought the one time fee was too good to be true. I am glad I researched the net and found this site. It took a couple of pages to get here, tho, as InKline has flooded it's search name with it's own ads. You saved me $30.00 and I am going to pass this info and site onto my other e-mail and net friends. From all of us, Thanks.

I too became skeptical about the 1000 channel, turn your pc into a tv. I would like to thank everyone that posts about these fraudulent characters and others. I hope this little bit of input would help other people from being scammed.

Happy New Year.

I ran across the InKline Global PCShowBuzz ad as it was being carried on the bottom of the free Weatherbug program. The following sentence is copied right from the ad, which is still open on my computer at the moment, and it was this that made me suspicious: "(Note: Special discount pricing is guaranteed through Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006 at 12 midnight. This offer is exclusive as you may not get this offer again once you leave this site."

Thanks to everyone who has posted here about it, as there was at least a good 30 seconds where I actually considered buying the thing. Fortunately, I stuck to my usual course of investigating first. I really hate companies like this one.

I also found several other sites that reviewed the software and through them, a link to http://www.webtvlist.com/, which I then checked out. From a quick glance over that site, it appears that most people, if they have Quicktime, RealPlayer, or Windows Media Player, they can see whatever stations are available without having to take a chance on program offered by a company which seems to be into scamming people. Always pays to check things out. Btw, I'm not affliated with webtvlist, nor am I saying it's a good site. Merely that it appears to be a place to find out what can be viewed online and as I said, from the two pages I looked at, no "special" software other than what most people already is needed to see them..

Thanks for saving me $30. I am apalled to say this ad was at the bottom of ABC World News Tonight, so undoubtedly there will be people suckered into buying it, since they'll think anything that is on the ABC News site must be credible.

Thanks for saving me $30.00; I saw the add on the weather channel.

Thanks so much for all these posted infos, i was about purchasing this 1000 free channels, i came accross the link at the bottom of my msn messenger! But i decided to wait till today to check if the special discount thing is going to change. But i decided to do some research before purchase. You guys have saved me from givin away $30 and my credit card info. BIG THANKS to u all

InKline Global is still scamming in late January 2006. I have sent then three e-mails without response asking me for a refund of my 29.95 for their tv program which has been grossly overhyped as replacing the need for a tv tuner. Fortunately my credit card company has refused payment. Nevertheless, there should be a way to stop this kind of scam.

thanks guys. You saved me $29.95.

I ran across this on a Netscape ad. Professional looking website, I got as far as doing my credit card, then thought I's check it out. Like they say, if it sounds too goodt to be true...............

Almost spent 30.00 for nothing but thanks to you guys. Well good looking out!

Thanks - There still doing it 2/1/06 - you just saved me $30.

A fool and his money... I didn't get to you soon enough. The TV program didn't seem to working very well, so I started to be suspicious and research the company. Took me a while to find the company name on the exe file. I am not sure "inKline" was indicated any where before actual download. Thanks to you I will not waste anymore time and will start the "fun" game of trying to get my money back.

Sadly, I found this site too late. I purchased one of inKline Global's products (PC Booster w/ "free" gifts) back in Nov. 2005. I was actually pleased to find out that the product did have some helpful things in it, although I never did receive the free gifts. I liked it so well that after a system crash with no backup Ir! went to get a replacement download, since I had only had it for a few months. I had printed and kept all of the paperwork for reciepts, etc., so imagine my surprise when I dug them up and found that there was no way listed anywhere on how to reach them. The link to contact them at anytime at their customer service center led to the outfit that collects the money (Click Bank), but they were no help on getting a replacement download. Now, after reading all of these reports, I'll just chalk it up to experience gained and try to forget about it. After all, I did have the product for a time, and when I had it I was pleased with it, so I didn't lose out entirely. Thank you all for providing all of your experiences; it saved me a lot of time wasted in pursuing a lost cause.
God Bless you all,
-Chip

As A P.S., they're still running the same ad and links on Google, Why haven't they been shut down?
-Chip

They ran an ad on worldnetdaily.com. Not sure if they check their advertisers out, but I'll tell them as well how they operate. What got me is that it cost them approx $150,000 and 6 years to develop this program. That's $15,000 a year, not even enough to cover labor for one programmer... stay away!

Re: PCShowBuzz 1000 free channels

I do not think they actually lie about anything but they do grossly exaggerate and spin doctor. Their product does not get you anything that is not available for free on line, but it does bring access together on one possibly more convenient screen. Whether this is worth the money charged is unlikely for most people, but this depends on the needs and the worth of money to the purchaser.

One thing they do not mention is that for a phone up modem all these webs cites and their product are downloaded so slowly as to be useless. Since they did not include this very common warning, I mistakenly thought they might have developed some way around it--some magical compression process analogous to MP3. They have NOT.

HOWEVER, they definitely have a functioning refund process. I got a FULL REFUND in a few days. The CATCH is that it is so specific and time consuming that some people may not be able to figure it out or it is just not worth their time. It requires a printer, a Fax machine and a typewriter(or possibly some tricky over printing). Evidently they will not respond to or answer phone or email.

I just got scammed as well. After you put your details in for payment,you are directed to a page that says you ahve to go back to the shopping cart as there was something wrong with your order (I am imagining to get you to process your card again). So I did like an idiot..lol. I am probably out $60. This was all for the TV software. I wish I had read this first; I usually do, but for some reason this morning, I was not thinking.

Re: REFUND POLICY

For the ones that are looking for a refund, click here www.inklineglobal.com/support/r-policy.html or copy and paste it. This explains their refund policy for all inKline Global products. If you look around, it will also explain how to get a replacement download as well. LOL-not that anyone would want to do that. Go for the REFUND.
Good luck to all!

A million THANKS to all of you who have commented on the sham of PC Show Buzz. I am glad I looked for confirmation of this Great sounding deal BEFORE clicking to order. Now I don't have to sit here and kick myself as I see some are having to do. I just emailed a couple of friends to save them some pain, as well.

Yours is a Great service.

Well I almost got suckered. I was all ready to hand over my $29.95 for their internet tv when my wife said to me if it is so great how come we never heard of them before so that is when I did a search on them and found this web site so thanks for saving me the money

P.S. I was just wondering if anyone turned them into the Better Business Bureau ? That is the first place I checked and the BBB didn't have any thing negative to say about them.

Thanks, You guys saved me $30 today.

I TO HAVE BEEN SCAMMED THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO SEE GREAT TV SHOWS AND CABLE IT WAS NOTHING THERE BUT SOME FOREIGN CHANNELS,AND MOVIE CLIPS,I CALLED THE NUMBER AND RECIEVED A VOICE MSG,LEFT E MAIL AND NO RESPONSE,IM GONNA TRY AND SEE IF MY BANK WILL REVERSE CHARGES ID RATHER PAY FEE TO BANK THEN LET THESE PEOPLE GET OVER ITS A SHAME NOBODY CAN TRUST,GONNA TAKE THESE TESTIMONIALS TO THE BANK THANKS....

After reading some of the comments on this site I was really concerned about getting a refund for PCShowBuzz from InkLine Global. When I couldn't find my invoice I felt I was really screwed. First I wrote to the company requesting a copy of my invoice. The next day I had a copy sent to me via email. With that in hand I now followed thier instructions to the letter to request a refund. The very next day I had notice my refund was proccessed and $29.95 was returned to my checking account. Three days start to finish and even if I feel the product was not as I wished, the customer service was all I could hope for. I would not hesitate to do business with InkLine Global in the future. Just my $.02

Thanks I was just going to buy the scammed software. i should have know when it came through as **SPAM** in my email.

Keep up the good work and eliminating these scam artist..

FM

Today is 02/28/2006 and the offer is ONLY valid till midnight tonight!!
WOW the time must have REALLY stopped for those inkline ppl :)

Beware dealing with InkLine Global. They do NOT honor their Money Back Guarantee. They do NOT list a phone number or an address, even on their home website. That should tell you something.
BEWARE !!!!!!

Hello everyone-

I was lured into this deception to. I should of known better from the start, and luckily after a few minutes of thinking to myself "If something sounds to good to be true then it probably isnt true" and thats what led me to you all.

I almost bought it then did a search for "Inkline global scam" and I found your comments. THANKS SO MUCH for saving me $30 and ALOT of undesired stress.

Here is another piece of the puzzle:

http://www.inklineglobal.com/affiliates/index.html



This is a link that explains what the scam is REALLY all about. It explains why we are seeing all these ads everywhere, apparently they have a "Affiliate Partner Program."

THIS IS SUCH A SCAM!!!!

The whole website just sends you in circles. I tried to get an answer about their support policy and the site keep sending me all around, link after link, finally ending at a page that never even answered the question that the first said it would answer

Found another part of the scam:

All the ads say that the show biz/tv download is great because it is Commercial free...riiight?
Well if you look at the bottom of the page it has a disclaimer that says:

"*Advertisements may still be displayed by individual TV channels as this is beyond our control."

Well, it's March 12, 2006 and I have until midnight to save 10 bucks on showbiz TV download! We found the ad on Weatherbug, and like some of the others who have posted comments, I felt assured it was legit because of being advertised on a reputable site! WRONG! I am so grateful to Phil..who is my skeptic, keeps me grounded and makes me do my homework before jumping into internet offers--which led us me your site. Thank you...Thank you...Thank you!!! Keep up the good work! You are now in our favorites list!!!
P.S. Phil was kind enough NOT to say I told you so :0)

Thanks to all - I did not purchase PC Showbuzz from Inklineglobal ...even though there was a scary deadline today if I didn't fork over the $30 right away and get such a deal before leaving their site. Thanks for letting us all know what the real deal is on this..such a DEAL ! I just Saved $30 by letting the deadline pass! Good work all you scam-busters !

I thought it`s to good to be true.I`m so glad I foundt your web site. What`s up GOOGLE

I just got hooked and crooked..I sure wish found this site last night

I am sorry to say but I also got hooked on Inkline´s offer of a 1000 TV canals on your PC and paid the requested $ 29.95 by VISA.
Nothing would download from their site and after several complaints and a request for refund I only received a computer generated e-mail stating that if I did not hear from them within 4 days, then try again.??? I have sent them 2 direct faxes but so far no replies. I have today complained about their fraudulent trading to their domain host:nocsupervisor@networksolutions.com
and hope they will do the right thing and exclude this company.

For your information their domain host is:
www.networksolutions.com

Try sending them an e-mail to demand they exclude this company. Their e-mail adress is:
nocsupervisor@networksolutions.com

And to all of you who are using networksolutions, threaten to withdraw your web hosting.

Why was my postings here today removed?? You do not believe in free speach??

I merely suggested people beeing hosted by networksolutions.com demand that inklineglobal.com is excluded from their hosting services.

You guys rock, you saved me 30 bucks. Isn't there some kind of legal action that can be taken?

After several e-mails and faxes I finally received a fax confirmation from them a few minutes before midnight that they had granted me a refund within their 60 day refund guarantee period and that my Visa account had been credited. I´ll believe it when I see it on my account.

The moral of the story is: Don´t put up with shit like this, put on all the pressure you can!

Hi there,

Thank you all for drawing our attention of the problems being faced by our customers. As an online company with more than 8 years of history, we pride ourselves in dealing with our customer's enquiries promptly, so we would like to address your concerns as well as clarify any doubts you have about our company.

We respond to customer enquiries:
1) We will like to state right off that online webform submissions is the preferred method of contacting us because it allows us to respond to the customer's enquiries more quickly and effectively. The link to the support form is already provided in all generated customer invoices, as well as easily located on our website. I've included the link here as well:
http://www.inklineglobal.com/support/sales_helpdesk.html">http://www.inklineglobal.com/support/sales_helpdesk.html

Yes we did use to make our support email address readily available on our site a few years back, but these have become a magnet for spam. With the old email system, locating even one legitimate email literally becomes a needle in a hay-stack situation, where we find barely one legitimate email out of more than thousands of spams received on our exposed support email addresses.

Instead, we have invested time and resources to implement an online form submission system which not only tracks each individual customer's case and history, but speeds up our response time. Using this system we have cut our customer response time by more than 50%, from the previous 5 working days to 2 working days. Do note that this is a common practice these days and we are not alone in this. Even if you go to Microsoft's website, you can only contact them via online support forms i.e. http://support.microsoft.com/common/survey.aspx?scid=sw;en;1208&showpage=1&WS=mscom&url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.microsoft.com%2f, because of the abuse of publicized email addresses.

Our online web-form submission has been live since 2003, and we have allowed for a transition period up to 2005 when we still sifted through emails to our old published email address. We only pulled the plug on email submission when we saw that our customers have adopted the online form submission method to contact us.

I would encourage all those who have tried to email us unsuccessfully to address your concerns to us via the appropriate channel of our support form.

We honor refund requests.
2) I notice that many complaints here did not even attempt to ask for a refund from us. We are more than willing to oblige to refund requests. We understand that it is inevitable that there will be a small percentage of customers who are unsatisfied with our product. It is for this very reason that we have implemented a 60 day money back guarantee.

We are in fact giving customers 2 times the time window initiate a refund instead of the common practice of offering only a 30 day money back guarantee. We would rather act on the customer's refund request than to have the customer initiate a charge-back or ask the bank to cancel the transaction. This not only reflects badly on us with our merchant banks, it leaves a bad taste to valuable potential customers.

Our products satisfy the customers' needs.
3) We try our very best to, but as mentioned, it is inevitable that there will be a small percentage of customers who may be unsatisfied with our poroducts, either because it was not up to their expectations, or the product was not compatible with their hardware. Complaints are part and parcel of any transaction involving 2 parties, and no one is exempt from this. Even companies like Dell and Microsoft constantly receive complaints from their customers. If you google Dell and Microsoft with complaints or scam, you will also find many times more results than you find for us. That does not mean that their products are necessarily bad or their customer service is not good, but rather that they have failed to meet the customers expectations.

http://www.inklineglobal.com/support/sales_helpdesk.html">http://www.inklineglobal.com/support/sales_helpdesk.html
This is our support link, the way to contact us directly. I would challenge the customers who have made complaints above to contact us on the support form for a prompt response to any issues which they have. If they do not receive a response to their submissions, I welcome any further posts to affirm that we do not communicate with our customers. If no complaints follow it means we have done we have done our job of providing our customers with the productst that they want and the support that they need.

We hope this has been informative and look forward to serving you better.

Regards,

The inKline Global Team.

Since they have credited your account as promised, I guess they do exist? I would love to try TVolution because they have 60 days money guarantee back. If you guys have another sites where I can buy things online with money back guarantee, I'd love to try! :)

What I learnt from online shopping experience for years is that, you need to contact the company before buying! If they dont even reply your emails, this means something is wrong here. I bought a software last year and thought I was totally ripped off at that time! but you know what? I actually put the wrong email address when I purchased, and they couldnt reach me at all, not even the tracking number that they sent automatically for customers. LoL.

Since then I always put several email addresses and fax number for contacts. Then they'll have no reasons to say that they couldnt contact us!
I know there are lots of spam mail killers nowadays, and sadly it also kills our important mails! So remember update your safe list.

Folks, be smart and contact the company if you wish to purchase a product online. We got good and bad comments on the product everywhere (like before I purchased my favourite Sony Ericsson k750i). So which one will you trust? For me, I'd better ask the company directly.
Thanks Tore for the company's info! you save my time to find their site and contacts. :)

Thanks ya'll just save me $30 BUCKS TOO!!!!!
And if I can help some of ya'll from getting scammed here is a link to another scam that people are falling for and don't know about it!!!!

http://adam.rosi-kessel.org/weblog/the_man/webloyalty_aka_wli_reservations_is_a_scam.html

You purchase something online and they get your credit card number from the company you purchase from and start charging your account a monthly fee!!! BEWARE!!!!!!!!!
Thanks

The Inkline Global team has at last come out of the cupboard and promised to be good...

At worst.. it´s still a scam,,, at best it is a un-professionally run e-business.

Does anyone notice anything strange in this URL string confirming my order?

"http://inklineglobal.com/dsorder/invoices/Tucows_TVO/0306/14216356.html"

What has Tucows to do with the order other than trying to reassure you? I doubt very much if Tucows would be too happy about their name beeing used in this way.

By the way, yes I DID get my money back!

At least you got your money back. Thats a lot better than most online cmopanies out there...

Hi Tore,

I'm glad the issue has been resolved for you. I would just like to make some points in our defence of the professionalism of our business which you have put down.

1) We apologize for the fact that we do not work on weekends. As mentioned, we have cut down our response time from 5 to 2 WORKING days. You made your original purchase and refund request on March 17th, a Friday. After 3 days (2 in a weekend) you posted on the 20th (Monday) that you did not get a reply. Your refund was in fact approved and processed on the 21st (tuesday), 2 working days after your original refund request. All this can be evidenced from the timing of your own posts as well as your original invoice details. I understand your impatience in this matter since it regards money, but we try to attend to all requests as fast as possible. Even if you decided to ask your bank to cancel a credit card transaction you made, the process would not be completed over a weekend.

2) Regarding the use of "Tucows" in the invoice URL, this is merely our own tracking mechanism which identifies where the customer saw our advertisements or made the purchase. In your case, you either made the purchase or were directed to our sales pages from a Tucows website. There is no intention to falsely associate Tucows with us, since you only receive this link AFTER you have completed the whole order and payment process. I am sure you yourself can eaily confirm this.

3) We would like to point out that you are misleading other readers of this thread by posting a wrong and incomplete URL of your invoice, without mentioning that you had changed it. This would make them think that we had removed your invoice when in actual fact it is still there. Your actual complete invoice number is not

http://inklineglobal.com/dsorder/invoices/Tucows_TVO/0306/14216356.html
which you posted but
http://inklineglobal.com/dsorder/invoices/Tucows_TVO/0306/14216356XXXX.html

(X being the rest of your actual invoice number. We have hidden the real numbers to protect your privacy since it shows your real name and address).

We have nothing to hide, but your deceptive post paints us in a bad light for something we are innocent of, whether you meant it purposely or not.

We understand that you may not be satisfied with your purchase, but we have tried our best to ensure a quick and smooth refund for you so that even if you are not a customer, you would still be a happy ex-customer.

Regards,

The inKline Global Team

I almost purchased this TV channel product also through a link on my Incredimail programme,so thanks for the alert, but what made me suspicious was there was no contact email address on the ad, so I tried to look them up and found this site, also one is listed as .com and the one I saw was listed as .net - why, are they two different companies?? I am still not convinced the company is for real, so thanks again for saving me $30.00 which would have been a lot more in US$

Hi Rhonda,

We in fact own both domains, http://www.inklineglobal.com and http://www.inklineglobal.net, they are exactly identical and has a 2-fold function, to enable customers to reasily reach our site, and also as a back-up in case 1 fails.

As mentioned above, we had disabled our public email address due to abuse by spammers flooding it with spam and upgraded it to a webform submission system to allow those who with to contact us to reach us successfully and get a faster response time.

Thanks for your interest in our product in any case.

Best Regards,

The inKline Global Team

PS: The URL for online contact form already mentioned above but I've put it here again for your convenience

http://www.inklineglobal.com/support/sales_helpdesk.html

I just want to jump in here with a comment - it appears that inKline Global is attempting to salvage their reputation, evidenced by their recent postings here and attempts to help customers get refunds. We really need to give them credit for that.

However, having said that, as long as they continue to "flog" PCShowBuzz all over the 'net, they are going to have a hard time convincing people that they are not scammers, because the software is a piece of crap. Their modem booster software was useful to some people, but this software is really just a piece of crap and they should stop trying to sell it for any amount if they are really concerned about the reputation they are getting.

Given everything I have read and heard about PCShowBuzz, I would not buy anything from the company that includes it in their product list because the software itself is a scam.

Just my $0.02.

Wow, I was just about to sign up for their TV program when I thought I'd better check it out. I am so glad I did. Man, these crooks are everywhere.

Thanks to all, saved me $30, and thanks to this website for keeping this thread going.

Hey Inkline, if your product is so good, why not give a free trial? Surely once everyone sees how wonderful it is, they won't hesitate to fork over $30.

I saw the ad on the weather channel website, I think everyone that gets scammed by this company should email those companies that are advertising the scam.

I just posted the message above and had another window open with the inkline promotion. When I tried to close the window, a popup came up saying...please don't leave, we'll give you $5 off now...until midnight tonight of course! Oh, it's 11:51 p.m. now. Maybe I should rush back before that amazing offer disappears! NOT!

I did a WHOIS search for inKline Global. This is what I found:

Administrative Contact:
Lo, Bok Nan
lo@INKLINEGLOBAL.COM
77 Bencoolen Street, #04-01
Singapore, Singapore 189653
SG
Phone: +65-63333512
Fax: +65-63333513

In other things I've read, Bok Nan Lo is apparently the CEO of inKline Global. The contact information may be dubious but if you're angry enough, it's worth a try.

Greatly appreciate all you "guys" taking the time to put your comments on the line. Saved me from getting involved .. sounded suspicious so looked around and found this site via google.

Thanks!!

Man!!!!! my husband should asked me now I can't even get anywhere with any of the so-called refund addresses and I want my money BACKKKKKK
Any body got a good link for these crooks????????

Something about their advertising bugs me. The lack of real detail in what they offer, they say over 1000 channels but don't really mention any specifically on their site. Do they have 1000 generic channels or do they have any network affiliation? like CNN,HBO,ESPN,BBC,CBS,ABC...?
What shows can someone see? not just what kinds. Can I get LOST, Smallville, DATELINE, CSI...?

Thanks for the info guys, I just received an email and was going to try the tv buzz but not anymore. Thank you Thank you is all I can say.

I also purchased the TVolutions and was very disappointed with the product. After many hours of searching, I did find a contact and was able to cancel. The company, inKline Global, did refund my purchase price directly to my bank as promised. It was an ordeal; but, I did get my refund. If I remember the address I used was as follows:
http://www.inklineglobal.com/support/sales_helpdesk.html

Thanks everyone. I haven't bought anything...sounded too good to be true.

There is a similar add SATELLITE TV for PC. Any experiance with this outfit anybody?

I've come to this site the same way others did: researching an offer that sounded too good to be true!

Thanks guys. You spared me not only $30.00, but, more importantly, a lot of time, frustration and anger.

Thanx men you saved me 30.00 , sounded too good to be true. How does the law permit this

Thanks for everyone, who took care to write about inkline Global here. Thanks for the warnings, reminders and references.
Meanwhile, the show goes on! they've posted at www.tutorialfind.com and as good as skinned me.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I almost went for this, but was uneasy with their "midnite tonight" pitch. Glad I found this site. I'm retired, and don't have many $30.00 bills to throw out.

WOW!!! I can't beleive I was almost conned as well! But you know what? Right or wrong, I downloaded PC Show Buzz from my P2P app. and found out for myself it was crpa!! No channrls even work, unless your really, really interested i politics!! Which I'm not!! Whatever your view of crackers/hackers they deliver a service far more valuable than you might think, they allow us to try full versions of software before we buy so know don't waste our money, and to be honest with you I'd rather the company lose money than me/you. Anyway, now I know for sure this "INKLINE" crap is just that so now it's on to, hopefully, a real app that works. Good luck to all, and keep your heads up.

it's not "Inkline" it's "In Kline" as in the uphill battle to get your money back. Why aren't they , not only shutdown, but charged for blatant deceiptive marketing? Drill them all into the ground where the low lifes belong. Also, as far their little resonse posts to try to fool people into thinking they actually helped someone, HA!!! PURE BS!! Unless of course they're writing feverishly at this moment to help the DOZENS of others here who were RIPPED OFF BY INKLINE (but not me as I stole it my copy off line) Which I highly doubt. INKLINE YOU SUCK, AND MYSELF AND OTHERS WILL SPREAD THE WORD!!! Thank you, have a nice day.

I am not usually stupid enough to fall for his type of scam, but to be honest I was tempted. Thank goodness for your site, you saved me money! - keep up the good work

I sure wish I would have found this before I purchased this program I tried and tried to get it to download sometimes it would ask for id and password and other times it wouldnt i even went as far as to make sure i upgraded my internet explorer (which was the latest edition but was being safe side) defraged and even emptied temporary internet files, and still to no avail I got scammed urg I hatre loosing money since I am on SSD (Social Security. I dont have money to just throw around

I just got an e-mail similar to those described here except mine said the $39.95 price (which expires midnight tonite) is $20.00 off the original price. Now InKline, if you're still monitoring this site; why don't you address the failure(s) in your product which those who are wanting their money back experienced? Were you or are you having product problems? Have they or are they being addressed? How? When? and lastly why an increase in a product for which you've received so much negative press to date?

Does anyone know where there is a site that could list fraudulent sites and companies - for future references.

This one saved me $29.99 already.

for about 15 seconds i considered purchasing the TV thing...I always do research and stumbled across this site...thanks guys

I was researching the cost of satellite TV and I stumbled on the inKline Global site. It seemed like an incredible deal. Being an eBay user I new there must be something up. One thing that didn't make sense was that when you selected options from the home page, the next page that came up suddenly the top Home/products/buy now/company/press/ etc.. did not work. People should also be very cautious because this guy now has all the info he needs to proceed with stealing your identity. The fact that you were scammed or lost $30 dollars should be the least of your problem, this guy has your credit card number!!!!!

I bought PcShowbuzz believing that I was going to watch 100's of my favorite tv shows from my pc. What a joke. First of all there are very few channels from the U.S. Most of them are "clips" of tv shows. And the channels are ALWAYS unavalible. And just you try contacting anyone from inkline global! This was the first thing I ever bought off of the computer and definatley the last. Inkline sucks and they lie!

hey i too almost bought that pcshowbuzz thing. thanks for the info. i thought to look further when i couldn't find an 800# to call. which by the way saves researching. but i wanted it to be true so bad. thanks again.

I am so happy that i found this site i was going to purchase pcshowbuzz.
You just saved me 30€ iwill watch the world cup on tv instead even though the wife is not happy.
Thank You.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING FROM INKLINE GLOBAL! I was under the impression from their advertisement that the program was live tv channels. I downloaded PCShowBuzz from InKline Global 6-10-06 and tried several times to pull up something to watch. I was never able to pull up anything. It either said "program is unavailable, try again later"; OR an error has occurred and some of the material may be lost......". I stupidly forgot to look at their refund policy which says a specific form they have must be filled out and a copy of the invoice and invoice number with it and faxed to them. I filled out the form and when I tried to retrieve the invoice from the address on the computer they gave me, it stated no such place. I lost $29.95 when I really needed it. Hope I learned my lesson.

Lynne Crossey, I think you can write an email to salesall@inklineglobal.com and ask for your invoice link and refund. Last time I thought inkline global dont honor their refund promise. But when I wrote to them about my refund request, they directly processed my refund within 7 days, of course after I have faxed my documents for refund purpose.

Dont worry, just go ahead to email them. I am sure they can refund the money to you.

Now their FAX line has been constantly busy for hours. I have written to Mr. Lo and to sales, too. I'll let you know what happens. (The TVolution thing is inferior to free sites that perform the same function, e.g., http;//wwitv.com.)

I saw another product which can stream TV on the internet. Has anyone heard about it: http://www.traffic-power.com/

I've been reading everybody's comments here as I'm one of Bmonday's fans too. Scam is not a joke in cyber world. If you guys feel scammed by this company then try to contact them with every means. Try to visit their site, try to find their contacts, and read someone's posting on how to contact them. Dont just sit there and let your money gone! I've seen some articles too about this company and i'm not sure what they're doin. Well I thought you guys wanna have a look at this one. I found inklineglobal.com forum link in one of my favourite IT forum. Their forum link is http://forums.dyndns.dk/standalone/phpBB/index.php. Sounds suspicious but no harm trying.
Like I said before, try every way to contact them. I wish ya'll good luck.
Cheers, Gary.

I too purchased Inkline's PCShowBuzz and was not happy with the way they advertised their product as being able to watch "thousands" of entertainment and news channels, music videos and movies. As previous posts have stated they are just movie trailers and short segments. I was however not too dissappointed in the music video selections. In my opinion InkLine Global would do much better and have less complaints if they were honest and advertised the product as a "one stop" shortcut to internet video content instead of falsely promoting it as an on-line equivalent of a satellite or cable TV service. The advertisement is most definitely misleading but the program itself has made it easier for me to find lots of interesting internet content. I noticed that they were monitoring this post. If they are still doing so I would like to think they now understand the meaning of misleading advertising and just market their product for what it really is! If they had done so in the first place I would still have purchased the software!

I have came across a forum and it seem that you can contact inkline for enquiries and support. URL is : http://forums.dyndns.dk/standalone/phpBB/index.php

DO YOU KNOW IF THERE IS ANY WEB-SITES THAT DO NOT SCAM BUT OFFER PC-TV LIKE THAT FOR LOW PRICES???

I purchased the TV/Radio combo, and it does work.

However, they charged my credit card twice.

Further, while there are lots and lots of TV stations, there are few if any that I would consider watching - either the video quality is poor or the content is poor.

The radio is simply pointing to streaming locations (and I'm guessing the TV is, also). I added WTMD in Baltimore, Maryland, and it worked. However, I really don't need or want to stream radio - if I did, I could find the link myself and stream it.

Their return policy requires a fax and a printout of the invoice (I'm glad I captured mine on screen). I suppose I'll see if they honor the policy.

Robert M.

They say don't miss your local T.V. programs while you are at work.Except you cannot get local stations. I did not order it to watch cartoons. Their add is very misleading. I am now calling my bank to put a stop on this charge.

I thought the ad was too good to be true.

"Don't be the last to find out what happened in the show and let this spoil the whole series for you.Now watch your favorite shows whereever you are, whenever you want to!"
(quoted from: http://www.inklineglobal.com/adsales/weather/tvo_offer_fire.html?&mcp=GB)

Absolute rubbish. I got access to the programme before I decided to purchase - and I am sooo glad I did. I trawled through the whole list of available channels in english, and was unable to watch any of them (yes my equipment here is good enough specs).

IMO this is false advertising and should be dealt with by the law.
Many people have had problems trying to get refunds.
The 'help' is not helpful and only gives you an introduction and features section.
HOWEVER the 'help' does clarify what they are providing as quaoted below. SHame you have to purchase the programme before finding out this important information.

"We have included more than 500 online television channels as well as more than 1000 hours worth of entertainment clips. "

YES people we already had access to all this from our PC anyway! All you are paying for is a media player that links to online channels, and IMO £20 is a lot to pay for just that.

I don't think that this scam is as bad as the King County RTA, but we'll probably never know, right?

If you take a look at the HTML source code for the page (right click and choose View source) you will see that there's a java script which changes the "deadline" every single day. This can't be explained away by the company because it is so obviously a deceptive practice designed to make people feel they MUST buy the product NOW or ELSE! It instills fear in the customer and compels them to buy without taking time to study or research their purchase (i.e. be a responsible consumer). This company may come here til they turn blue and try to make excuses for their deceptive business practices but this one is blatantly obvious and there are NO EXCUSES for it. They try to say that others are posting lies about them, but the evidence is right on their own site in black and white code! What liars and manipulators they are.

Wow - what amazes me is that this has been going on for so long. I almost fell for it -but I thought i'd research it first - thanks for saving me!!! I know programs do exsist that will give you a tv tuner of some sort for your computer. Windows media edition also allows you to watch tv - not free - from your cable.
Also - this is an offshore company - singapor - not under US regulations.

It goes on and on doesn't it? I'm happy with my windows media edition which works on cable, satellite and antenna....now if I can only figure out how to make it work in places with absolutely no available reception of any kind! And I should have bought the wireless option!

I received an email from inKline Global offering 1000's of channels for $29.95. I was tempted to buy it but thought I would do an internet search first since I had never heard of them. Thank you to everyone for posting your experiences. You have not only saved me money but also the grief that goes along with it.

`I fell for it hook, line and sinker. Tried to get refund using their directions with no results. It only confirms the old addage that if something sounds too good to be true---it usually is. I'll probably try to get my 29.95 back thru the credit card co. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

Joe Pierce

I saw a link to inKline's advertising on my incredimail program and decided to research it. I was looking for a way to watch tv on my pc a month or so ago and purchased a similar program called Freeskytv, it was a one time price of $19.95 and it also stated these same great features. All it happens to be is a poor quality media type player which links different sites and streams their content. Here's an example, you want to watch their E! entertainment channel, and it links you to E!'s website to watch clips of their shows which you can get FOR FREE by going to E!'s own site. It is utterly useless and I have already uninstalled it from my computer thinking it may harbor spyware. Anyway it seems that this is the same gimmick, so I emailed Incredimail a link to this posting and told them that their users may be getting scammed by inKline Global. By the way, I also had the deadline of Wed 9-13-06 by Midnight at the bottom of the site as well, so don't be fooled. Another great site to research companies is Ripoffreport.com. It makes me sick that these companies blatently lie about what their program does (or is supposed to do) and there seems to be no regulations to stop these practices. Think off all of the people who posted on here alone that paid these scam artists $30 inKline is making a killing off of us naive consumers. Lets make sure they don't rip off the next hardworking consumer, so spread the word, and always, always research before you buy anything, because not everything is not what it seems.

I don't think that Inkline Global do not keep their promise. The fact is I got my money back and even within 60 days.

At the first time I also thought that Inkline Global did not want to approve my refund request or answer to my refund request emails as I had written to them 3 times. Guess what?? One day I got their email from gmail. Finally I got their reply. Who's fault? I just awared that all of their replied emails had been moved into my BulkMail folder as I had activated my spamblocker in my Yahoo! account and already forgotten that any unknown emails will directly moved into BulkMail folder and could be deleted within 7 days if I do not check my BulkMail forlder.

so, guys, I think that you should check your inbox folder as well as your bulkMail folder. Who knows inkline Global's replied emails already there? If not, why not you just try to send some emails as a reminder to them about your refund request. I don't think they will ignore your Mails. So it is worth to try!! Goodluck Guys !!

WOW. I THOUGHT IT WAS A SUPER DEAL. I GOT WORD OF IT IN AN EMAIL. NOVEMBER 3, 2006. WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO GET IT, AND MY ROOMMATE SAID IF YOU ARE BUYING IT YOU HAVE TO GET THE CD ALSO. THE THING THAT TIPPED ME OFF WAS THAT WHEN I TRIED TO RECALCULATE AFTER CHECKING THE CD BOX, IT NEVER ADDED THE CD, SO, ALL IN ALL, THERE WAS NO FRICKIN WAY I WOULD EVER GET THE CD. SO I WENT TO THEIR HELP AND ENTERED "COMPANY PHONE NUMBER" IN THEIR SEARCH BOX. IT SPIT OUT 4 PAGES OF RESULTS. AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM WERE CLONE. THEN I ENTERED THE CEO AND COMPANY NAME INTO "MY" WEB SEARCH AND SOMEHOW I GOT HERE.
THANK GOD FOR ALL OF YOU WHO POSTED. I AM THE GULLIBLE TYPE. JUST GLAD I DIDN'T HAVE TO LOSE ANY MONEY THIS TIME. CLOSE CALLS ARE RARE WITH ME. IT'S USUALLY SOMEONE TELLING ME "I TOLD YOU SO!" CAN'T SOME GOVERNMENT SOMEWHERE JUST KICK THE LIVIN CRAP OUT OF THIS ASIAN PIECE OF SH**. I AM QUITTING, CUZ I AM STEAMIN. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

A "P.S." TODAY IS NOV. 3, 2006. AND THEY ARE STILL 'STICKIN IT TO US'. I SCROLLED UP AND SAW WHERE THIS LO NAN POOP HAD RESPONDED TO
A FEW PEOPLE. I GOT ONE THING TO SAY TO THIS SHADY RICE HEAD...DON'T BOTHER RESPONDING TO THIS ENTRY. BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T SAY ANYTHING, NOT ONE WORD, ONE LETTER, THAT WOULD CHANGE MY OPINION OF YOU. I WILL NOT EVER SEE THE TERROR IN YOUR EYES WHEN YOU GET BACK 100 FOLD WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN GIVING FOR SO LONG. BUT!! KNOW THIS. IT IS COMING.

I have had some problems with my pc, ie., can't get into my email on mail.yahoo.com, (or get to any other mail dot company name, ie says page not displayed.
can't back up data to cd as nero 6 sees my dvd/cd-rom as not writeable to CD-R.
Can't reinstall winxpcorped.
and when I went to what was supposed to be the Microsoft "pc advisor" page and I clicked on the 2 minute tuneup tab to fix my system, lo and behold I noticed that it was loading something from inkline which had the word "ad" in the http line.
I immediately cancelled the function and researched inkline and found you.
I always shy away from any ad that gives a deadline to purchase for a special price.
I just wish there were some site to tell you what files to look for and a delete order so you can delete them one at a time yourself, for "real FREE".
I downloaded RegCure, Pareto Antispyware and Xoft and I dont' know if any of those can be trusted either as it does a full scan and won't do another thing unless you get the full system. I can't even get the confirmation email with the code to activate the 30-day trial version.
Through the grace of God, I got a popup window that asked me if I wanted to allow yahoo mail to be my default email client and I said "what the heck, it's already broken." Now I can access email via Yahoo! Singapore. A call to Yahoo! confirmed that that was ok. I don't know if my email is being intercepted
because I can only get emails that have no numbers or website links. Odd, eh? Anyone have any suggestions can email me at evath@yahoo

Had an email ten minutes ago from---trisha@filedistributor.com

Subject-- "greeting from inkline"

this was with an attachment which I did not open
Have blocked sender and deleted the message.
Then on checking I found your site

Almost fell for this too. Lucky I've learned to check places like this on Google first. This ad has been running all year long -WHY?
Are there no agencies to police ads like this?
J.R.

First of all, Thanks for saving me $30! I'm leaving thismessage toadvise all that as of today, 12/08/06, inKline Global is still Spammin' & Scammin' ... I got their invite in Spam to my Hotmail acct. After checking them out here and other places that warn about Scammers, I am NOT inKline'd to do ANY business with inKline! Either now or tomorrow before 12 Midnight!!

Thanks again!!

Merlin

Addendum to my previous post.. The Spam that I was sent was hawking "PC BOOSTER" from inKline.. Price $29.95 .. With a little research, I was able to identify and locate a Shareware copy (DEMO) of Version 4.0 of "PC Booster" by inKline. The filename is pcb40_demo.exe and can be downloaded for FREE from:

http://www.soft32.com/Download/free-trial/PC_Booster/4-81528-1.html

There is no way I am endorsing the efficacy of this download, nor am I in any way guaranteeing or suggesting that it will work as advertized by inKline or that it does not contain any type or shape of Spyware. I only pass along this information so that if you want to try out "PC BOOSTER" without having to risk $30 to find out if it does what you want it to do for you, this is where you can download a FREE DEMO of the program. I have not yet installed it in my Compaq Presario 5700 - P III - Running Win 98, but I will... after checking to find out if it is infected or installs spyware. I will post my findings on this subject here when I find out whether it is harmful or not....

Was tempted to buy this setup, but could not understand why they did not offer 30 days free trial as most reputable companies do, now I know

I downloaded the PCShowBuzz yesterday. I am in the process of completing the forms to fax to inKline Global. I was totaly dissatisfied with the product, and especially now that I learn that there is a FREE downloadable product to PCShowBuzz.

Almost fell for the PCShowBuzz offer from InKline Global, but knowing how careful you have to be on the Web, I simply did a search on "reviews....." (of this product) which brought me here.

Again - if it sounds too good to be true....

It would be nice if we could put SOBs like these guys out of business.

I was suckered into spending $29.95 for inkline global's tv thing. I couldn't download anything and haven't been able to get any respnse from them. I will supposedly receive a disc of the information I was to be able to download. I'll know more about that on Monday 1/8/7.

Wow, I was really enticed by InKline's tv tuner add that could be obtained for about $30. I'm greatful to have found your site before deciding to buy from these crooks!! Thanks a million for all of your help in alerting us to these scam artists.

Thanks: I was tempted, but thought it was to good to be true, found out by all of you that it is tgtbt. There needs to be a way to shut these people down.

Thanks for the feedback. Was tempted but did some checking and found your site. Thanks much to everyone.

OMG IM SO GLAD THAT I GOOGLED THEM ! I THOUGHT IT WAS 2 GOOD 2 BE TRUE ! ALSO I THOUGHT IT WAS WEIRD THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE A NUMGER TO AND ASK QUESTIONS,AND THEN ALONG WITH ME DOING THE GOOGLE SEARCH I FOUND THE CURRENT ADDY IT WAS NO 800 NUMBER IT WAS SOME WEIRD NUMBER OUT OF THE UNITED STATES HMMM KINDA NUTS FOR ME TO BUY ANYTHING FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY THAT IS NOT ESTABLISHED ENOUGH TO HAVE AN 800 NUMBER. IM THANKFUL TO WHOM EVER STARTED THIS SITE IT SAVED ME SOME MONEY AND POSSIBLY HEADACHE AND HASSELS THAAT I DONT NEED ! SORRY TO THOSE WHO HAD DELT WITH THEM SCAMMERS AND GOT NOTHING IN RE-TURN HORRIBLE NEED TO BE SHUT DOWN APAP . THANKD AGAIN TO ALL THAT CAME FORWARD WITH THEIR EXP.-----------JADE

I saw the ad on one of the news sites and just was about to place an order for the 29,00 program for 1,000 channels. but I noticed that this site did not have the secured site and decided to search google. Thanks to your site, I save myself 29.00 (plus CD cost of $9.95. I live and work in a foreign country and after reading the feebacks, I am glad I found you.

Hi Folks,
I checked my Credit Card Status and found 2 debits in favor of Inkline Global and I never even did biz with these people.Both @ 29:95 U.S. for what I don't know.I'd love to meet up with these people.These are just crooks,so I suggest you don't even touch on any site that brings them up ,or they'll just find some way to hackyour Credit Card and scoop your dough without your knowning.Very serious shit.
Watch it!

I saw the ad PCSHOWBUZZ.COM on one of the most respectable news web site. Why do they let it go on? I would like to have tv on my computer. I have ordered that video tuner card to see if that will work .So why do we let this go on? And yes i did order the pc show buzz it work but i only got CNN NETWORK , NASA NETWORK, AND FOUR OTHER FORGEN CHANNELS not the 1000's they said i would get. I HOPE SOME ONE STOP'S THEM AND PUT THEM IN JAIL..... and we get are money back

hi folks,
thanks a lot for saving my money,i saw they didn't have secured site,and i went serched in the google got ur website,thank u.
ad was too good to be true.i don't believe these things going for past 2 years,i hope some one take some steps to put these crooks in the jail.

Do not touch with a barge pole.... they are CROOKS- thieving Bastards.

Wow! I am sooo glad that I took the time to research this Inkline Global. I was about to order the 1000 channels for 29.95. It also said I could actually sale this product on my website. Yikes! Imagine all the people that would be p..... at me! I am really glad that I was informed of the ripoff scam before downloading and adding a link. You all saved my Butt big time. Thanks a million!

A simple google srch and here I am seeing what inklineglobal is really all about "ripoff". I thought it was strange that the same guy "Robin" and his wife have a testimonial for more than just one product. Same picture, different testimonials.

Do you wanna play for something which you can from internet for free? THINK TWICE, they cant control the channels. THINK AGAIN B4 U r cheated...

Too bad I found this site too late. PCShowBuzz did not work, presumably because of my security set up. I got suspicious & uninstalled the program. What are the chances I've been "phished"? 100% chance I've been suckered!

Thanks for saving me $30 and at least that in embarassment.

Thanks for saving me $30. I was going to get the tv program also until I looked up this report on the company. If they can not email you back or call within 2 days ( and thats along time these days) I do not want to give them my money and receive nothing. I do that now with most of my taxes.

I'm on a Macintosh system (more secure) and I ran across a banner ad for some Macintosh product I'd never seen before.

I pointed to the ad but did not click it and noted the ads URL in the Firefox status bar. The final redirected URL of the banner ad I didn't click was to inklineglobal.com so I typed inklineglobal in my address bar assuming the browser would add www. to the start of it and .com to the end of it.

Instead I got a Google search of long lists of very unhappy people saying nasty things about the company.

I picked an entry to read and it appears to be a blog started November 17th, 2003 and still going strong!

A lot of people paid $30 for a versatile internet TV program with thousands of Internet TV channels and got disappointed.

Yes, PCShowBuzz is a rip-off scam.

But here is the real item and it's open source:

The Democracy Player http://www.getdemocracy.com/">http://www.getdemocracy.com/

"It's pretty simple. You get a better internet video experience with Democracy Player because you can do more and you can do it more easily. Some people call it a 'TiVo for the internet' or a 'Firefox for videos'.

Democracy Player is free, open source, and built by a non-profit organization. Our goal isn't to make money off of you. Our goal is to give you the best possible video experience."

Windows - Mac X - Linux - IT IS FREE (as in 'Free Beer') and it does all of what you paid for already and a lot more besides!

You might as well get something besides experience out of this.

If those people weren't such total scuzzbuckets they could at LEAST have emailed you this link: http://www.getdemocracy.com/">http://www.getdemocracy.com/ after they got your $30 from you.

(If you go there no one will ask you to pay anything - they politely request donations. I didn't pay a nickel for mine.)

Now don't say I never gave you anything!

Never been spooked in my life, but you are NEVER TOO OLD.70 years and its happened to me, unfortunately, I had the same problem, continually back paging to my password, so I have decided to check the Net, hence I realize after reading all your contacts I too had become a victim. I then rang my Credit Card Company..lo and behold my money had already been debited faster than Aladdin whizzing out of his bottle. l have now taken the liberty to contact Google to express my disappointment and disgust that they allow "pop ups" from this site, especially as Google is a URL site that is held in such high esteem by the public at large. Many thanks to you all for your guidance and advice to deal with what could be a Company, consider as the Scum of the Earth, Kind regards, Eileen.

I just saw the ad for the Super TV on the site of CCleaner. As CCleaner is a trusted piece of software, I was interested, but as always I google everthing first. Turns out this site shows up in Google... :P
I wouldn't pay a dime anyway without getting a list of channels - and not something vague like they have on the site.

It really saddens me that a great tool like ccleaner fell for their ad and have it on their site.

I found this article aout free online TV on the internet, maybe it will be useful for you guys?

thanks for the info,
i almost fell for this scam because i found their link on the weather channles web site. i thought if the weather channel let them put a link on their site the would be legit. apparently that is not the case.
google is so cool .
i always google the people or company before i do bussiness with them.

I saw the ad off my EarthLink home page, thought I'd just look, and then thought two things: 1) If this is so marvellous and up-to-date, why am I seeing 'sneak previews' that are over a year old? 2) It sounds too good to be true. So, I did a search on inKline and came upon this site. Thank you, thank you, thank you for revealing to me who/what they really are...especially when I went back to that home page and found the ad just disappeared! Now I will forward this on to my IPS for further action.

Dear Readers,

My name is Tiffany Roberts from the Customer Service department of Inkline Global Inc. I understand that there are a lot of unhappiness and misunderstanding in this forum and I hope I can help clear these matters up.

Firstly, we are certainly not a fly by Night Company that is out to scam customers of their hard earned money. We have been in this business for 12 years (and we have survived the dot com crash back in 2000), and we pride ourselves for bringing productivity and convenience to our users. We are sure no fly-by-night company can stand up for such a long period of time if all they do is to put up misleading ads and lousy products otherwise we would have been forced to close down by FTC or even our partners. I have personally received so many compliment letters and emails how our company has changed customer’s life by coming out with products like PC Booster, Modem Booster, PCShowBuzz and Stay Connected, it can be stacked up to 3 story tall! (ok, I exaggerated this one, but we really received so many compliments I still keep them around to encourage my staffs they actually change the world with our products that we developed)

As an employee for Inkline Global for 8 years, I would like to assure you that we will always serve and assist our customers to the fullest. We do live up to our claims of refunding users within 60 days if they are not satisfied with our product for any reason. I am very confident to say this that customers who are not satisfied with any of our products, we do not want their money.

On the 2nd note, please allow me to explain the reason why we require customers to fax in their refund form

1. We cannot authenticate and verify e-mail refund as the identity of the person requesting for refund may not be genuine.
2. We need the signature from you to ensure that you have completely removed the installed software from your entire computer.
3. The refund forms that you submitted will be kept and used for auditing purposes at the end of each working year.

If you have a question, comment, suggestion to pass along to us, you may reach us at the following.

Sales & marketing enquiries: salesall@inklineglobal.com
Technical support: support@inklineglobal.com or christine@inklineglobal.com.


Alternatively, you may reach us at 1-775 473 1211 or 1-775-321-8556.



Thanks,

Glad to hear that inkline global is very responsible....Thumbs up Tiffany....

i came across a newsletter sent by inklineglobal a few days ago and they were promoting pc booster or something like that.

for my past experience with online purchase. i will always google it and go to bbb website to do a check on the company itself before buying the product.

then i came across bmonday with lot of complains about inkline global. however when i did a check on bbb website, their rating is actually satisfactory.

http://reno.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Report.aspx?site=100&bbb=1146&firm=5001142

they have all the necessry information for their customers to make a refund and all information needed to contact their office.

i believe that if you guys do a little bit more indepth research on the company. then there won't be so much of a problem.

i believe in doing research myself rather then reading from what people have posted online. sometimes the truth might be bend.

and tiffany did a good job by posting up and explanation. i might just go ahead and purchse with then.

will keep you guys updating on their services. if not, i will be sure to update bbb about them.


Greg...

Thank you

their pc booster put machine code as script on my computer i guess thats a joke on me. First trojan found on my computer threw them.I wont buy anything from them.

Way still continue working.
Where are the police or gover
ment cotrolers.

i've been using pc booster since 2005 version 5 and i dont have much problem with it. i am using a windows 98 operating system. Last year, i received a newsletter from inkline global asking me to upgrade to pc booster 2008 for the price of $14.95. So i think, why not? since the last version that i bought from them is working perfectly fine on my old system. but after paying for it, i did not get any download links from them and i thought that i might have been scammed off by them. I gave them a call but it turn out to be just a voice message. thinking that no one will call me back. but i was surprised that a technician from inkline global actually called me back 2 days later and guide me through the installation process. I cannot remember his name, it might be jim or jimmy. and to why i did not receive the download link? because it landed into my spam folder which i never bother checking. I have to give credit that that technician that guide me thru. Thumb up! As to how the company operate their business, I leave it to the mass audiences.

Came up just now when I loaded Real Player. Same ploy as before - you have until midnight etc..etc..
Even if their product is OK their marketing methods are not - KEEP CLEAR OR GET STUNG.

inklineglobal.com. is still doing the same thing and now that I have read all the other posts I do wonder how they are able to remain. I knew I wasn't going to get much for that price but I thought I would get more than animated videos and CNN News from Canada! In process of gaining my money and self-respect back.

to the people who received the money, hope you can enjoy the money onto hell

Well....this sixty-four year old grandma just lost $20.00, I guess. I just signed up for it hoping there were some good channels - especially from France, where we've lived before - but I'm not finding them. None of the main channels anyway.

bought PCShowBuss on 11/20/2009 and most of the channels where out of focus and bad quality. Could not get a email from them with my invoice #. Could not get a fax #. Very poor communications. They had no problem getting paid !!!
