US Online America Group

I got a high pressure sales call from US Online America (the mans name is Dennis Pignataro) telling me they would set up 2 web sites for me that would bring in $125 each time someone bought a Direct TV or Dish Network package from my sites.

The costs would be 19.99 a month hosting fee and a one time payment of 99.99. When I said no, he told me to hold the line because the company had given him an allowance to help. This brought the price down to 59.98 plus the 19.99 monthly fee.

I told him my husband and I had an agreement that we always talk to each other before we make any decisions like that, and he upped the pressure. He tried very hard to get me to break my agreement with my husband, stateing that my husband wouldn't mind cashing the cheques.

I told him he was being pushy and I wasn't willing to disrespect our agreement, an he was relentless, pointing out that we would all like to earn extra money and he was sure my husband wouldn't leave me if I set this up without his knowing.

He also told me if I waited to talk to my husband, the 'special deal' would no longer be available and the costs would be in the hundreds, I can't remember exactly how much.

I changed tactics, and asked him to join my company, to which he said no and that he had other ventures going and wasn't in need of any more money. I told him I was the same and he said, "Everyone wants to make more money, even billionaires". I wonder if he is thinking about that statement now.

I kept trying to say goodbye and he kept up his pressure talk. I really hate hanging up on people and I tried to tell him I had to go now (20 to 30 minutes is more than enough of this). I finally did say goodbye and then hung up on him.

Truthfully, it has totally turned me off of direct tv and dish network. Maybe we should all send them emails to let them know how we feel and get this stopped.
