Oridyne or Ordian/work at home business out of CA

This business advertises nationwide in newspapers and operates a huge "work

at home" scam. I fell for this scam and ordered. These guys send out a

book, with names of random businesses in different areas of the US and then

say that these businesses need "at home" workers. You pay 83.95 for this

book. The reps promise you that all the businesses have been prescreened

and are looking for "at home" workers. In reality, they have not been

prescreened at all but the company covers themselves regarding this lie by

making a disclaimer that the book may not be up to date and they are not

responsible for people who are no longer on the list of available companies.

To add to this controversy, the company (orydyne or oridyne) then does not

identify itself in billing so you do not know who charged your credit card.

When i got my credit card statement I had no idea who had charged my card -

it was billed as ONL 714-5409025 CA. This is actually a phone number. I

called the number and got an answering machine, again with no identifying

person or business, just a request to please leave a message. This scared

me as i thought someone had fraudulently used my credit card so i called my

credit card company right away to dispute the charge. I questioned my

credit card company on what they knew about the purchase and all they could

tell me was that it was some type of software. I knew that I had not

ordered or received any software so was even more concerned.

This whole cycle ended up being very upsetting because the company then

threatened to send me to collections for non-payment cause i had put forth

the dispute (even though i had already sent their product back. By the time

I sent the order back, I had remembered the order but thought it was

probably a mute point as i had already sent the product back AND my credit

card had been recredited so I did not see a problem. but the customer

service reps at Oridyne did not see it this way. Each and every one of them

got very forceful and threatening with me. I got a call from someone who

said they knew I had ordered cause I had been recorded and he admitted that

they had received the product back. This call came on April 4, 2006. I

then tried to call the company back and was treated extremely rudely by all

people i spoke with. Not one rep identified themselves by name and one even

lied to me about the spelling of the company when I said I was going to file

a report. She refused to give me the address or any information about the

company. When I asked to speak to a supervisor they refused. I spoke to 2

different females and one male. None of them would not listen to a word I

said about anything and just kept telling me the matter was being

investigated, they said this over and over and over, even when I told them I

was aware of everything and just wanted to straighten things out and make

sure I got my money back because I had already sent the product back AND it

was a fradulent and scam product. I told them I remembered the order, took

responsiblity for ordering and hoped that would end things but it did not.

Every rep I talked to acknowledged that they order had been received back by

the company. But in spite of this, I was told by all of them that I was

going under investigation and was threatened repeatedly. I had sent it

back because i realized that it was a scam as soon as I opened it, all that

was in the package was a thin book with a few business names and 3/4 of the

book dedicated to "how to call on businesses to get them to let you do data

entry at home for them" and what type of computer you will need for this and

what it will cost you to set up your business, etc. How it ended up was

that the supervisor finally called me back and told me that if I canceled

the dispute I would receive my refund. We will see. I did cancel the

dispute with my credit card company and now we will see if I actually get a

refund.

what this Oridyne Company had sent was not software, it was a book of

business names and how to call on them. In addition they did not identify

themselves in billing and I had no way of knowing that this was what had

been charged to the card without a proper name identifying the company.

They then attacked me for refuting the charge. These people prey on people

who already have no money and put them further into debt to line their own

pockets and are allowed to get away with it. There are a thousand schemes

like this and they should be illegal.
