Don't buy from these guys

[woodworkernurse]

I notice there was a Google ad on this forum (on right side of screen) from Masterwoodworkingplans.com for free patterns for 9.99, well I fell for it. It's not for patterns it's for the websites that have the patterns and some of the websites don't exist no longer and some of them charge for the patterns. There website stated money back guarantee. So I told them I wanted my money back and they said since I purchased the download I couldn't get a refund because they have no way of telling if I uninstalled program, but if I would have purchased the CD they could refunded my money, doesn't make sense to me, how would they know that I didn't copy the CD. I've bought a lot of stuff on the internet and this is the first time I ever got the shaft, luckily it was only $9.99. Just a heads up, don't buy from these people. Thanks, Duane

You should PM BobD about this one.

The exact same thing happened to me. No plans with them. Only links to other site that have plans and, like you said, many of them are NOT free and some don't even exist. NOT good business practice.

Hi Duane,

If you used a credit card you should be able to get your credit card company or PayPal to reverse the charge if the site doesn't deliver on their promises.

Good luck!

Hay guys and gals
I found a website that might be of some help. Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) | Home You can file a complant with them if you fell you were defrauded. Maybe if there are other out there who got the download from this company and you all fill it might do some good. I think if you let Paypal know they will help you get your money back and they can loss they Paypal. It sad that there are people who do this like this. I hope something can be done to shut down their site.

thanks for the heads up.

it does state on their site that you wont get your money back for the download but says nothing about links to sites on the dvd so you should be in good shape with your cc company on getting them to reverse your charge.

Wow, shame we have people making a buck off things that are not what they seem. Free plans that are only links and stuff made in China, what the heck is this world coming to these days?

Good thing we are still here scrolling and producing true hand made beauty!

Thanks for the heads up, Duane. That was a google ad, so we blocked that ad from showing up at all. If anyone comes across any other ads like that, feel free to PM me. We don't want our members to be taken advantage of!
