Stores Online Scam

Stores Online was sued in a Class Action lawsuit (one lawsuit by many people) and agreed to settle out of court for $7.6 million dollars. That money will be split amoung those people who feel they didn’t get what they paid for. Because that’s a LOT of people, each person gets far less than they paid in. That’s not surprising, although it’s disgusting. In my personal opinion Stores Online felt they would end up paying a lot less by agreeing to settle than by actually dragging their business through a court of law, which is something I would actually have liked to see very much.

However, from this Class Action settlement, a new low in Internet Marketing has emerged. This is purely disgusting.

Someone is calling Stores Online customers and offering to SELL them a “kit” to help them file these Class Action settlement papers. The “kit” costs $497!!! This is just unbelieveable! Who wants to bet me that if you dug deep enough, you’d find that somehwhere, somehow, Stores Online themselves were behind the sales of this “kit”? After all, who else would have the phone numbers of the Stores Online customers to call in the first place? Hey, just my personal opinion, but if I were betting, I’d bet I’m right.

What an idea, right? Get sued, settle so you don’t have to go to court, then chisel yet another five hundred bucks out of the people you have to pay back by selling them some bogus kit that “helps them file the papers” to get their money.

This is a deep, dark, ugly new low in the stinking cesspool that most of internet marketing has become, and I’m personally disgusted by it. You should be too. If you qualify for a Stores Online settlement from that lawsuit, DON’T buy any “kits” that help you do it. It’s a load of garbage, and I personally would just love five minutes in a room alone with the scumsucker who came up with this idea.
