Consumer Alert: FedEx Is Running A Billing Scam


FedEx

FedEx, headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee is running an outright, fraudulent a billing scam. I recently selected FedEx as the shipping service for an order I placed online. FedEx quoted an exact price, which I paid with my debit card. The merchandise arrived from the order I placed online and paid the full bill for at checkout. Days later, I received a second bill from FedEx demanding an additional "shipping and handling fee" that was not mentioned or included in the original $137.00 fee they had charged me for 5-day delivery on my order.

FedEx sent me a threatening letter demanding this extra money, which is fraud. For you to quote a fee ($137.00), then accept payment, receive your money from the person's bank account, then decide you want a second payment of $60, one you did not previously disclose, is fraud and extortion. Be careful using FedEx. I am going to avoid using them in the future. They are trying to undercut competitors by offering lower prices, but after they take your money, they will send you a second bill demanding more funds that exceeds what all their competitors would charge or they will sue you.

Barack Obama's Reelection Campaign Being Harmed By Rising Gas Prices In America

Barack Obama

U.S. President Barack Obama is facing significant criticism this month, over rising gas prices in America, hitting the public's pocket in a noticeable way. Critics are stating it is damaging the already battered consumer, as food prices have also risen. Foreclosures and bankruptcies are high as well.

The Gallup polling company revealed, unemployment in America sits at an uncomfortable 9%, three years into Obama's tumultuous term as President of the United States. These circumstances are working against Obama's reelection bid, with the presidential election fast approaching in November.

Obama Appointing Richard Cordray Consumer Czar Without Congressional Approval Sends An Autocratic Message

Barack Obama

President Obama's appointment of Richard Cordray, to a new consumer agency, sends a negative, dictatorial message, as he has undemocratically run roughshod over Congress. The appointment of Cordray to this post as a consumer agency czar, has also come too late in his presidency to strike any real effectiveness.

This is complicated by the fact Obama is soft on crime, which is why some sectors of the corporate industry have continued to rob and gouge the American people into poverty. What's the sense of having a consumer protection agency, when no one is being arrested for ripping off the public, as that is the only language criminals understand - prison.

For every bank, investment firm, insurance company, telecommunications provider and entertainment corporation that engages in financial crime, which damages America and the world by default, how many real arrests have you seen, when trillions of dollars have been stolen in an illegal redistribution of wealth in favor of the rich.

As far as the Judiciary Report is concerned, President Obama's latest appointment is just for show during a desperate election year, as it is without substance and devoid of any real impact. All this will do is waste taxpayer money, handing out slaps on the wrist for serious financial crimes. That will never work to get the economy back on the right track to accountability and fairness.
