Simple Escapes, Omaha, Ne phone 1 877 836 6903

.

After being sucked in by their offer of a free $25.00 ... Kmart ... gift certificate I made the mistake of clicking on their link. Then everytime I tried to use my computer RE: change screens they kept returning with their

over laying ad on my desk top , each time I deleted their offer it keeps coming back to take control of my PC .......... I find this very offensive & would not do business with these people or ... Kmart. I very much resent their marketing tactics & would never do business with this type of an advertising company. I read their offer & declined & do not want them controlling my PC & wasting my time. Of course you cannot reply to them directly as they don't include their email address.

Thanking you in advance for any help you maybe able to provide in this matter,

I remain G. Petrell
