Members superpowter77 Posted November 10, 2006 Members Share Posted November 10, 2006 Last night I went to samash store and asked the salesman for 2 monster studio 500 cables and the guy nicely asked me many questions about my current setup and then he told me about Samash NEW FEES supposedly effective since Nov 2006 as follows: 25$ for 15 minutes, 50$ for 16-30 minutes, and so on. The most incredible part was at the time I was told of the New service fees, I already owned them $50 bucks, the 16th minute was running, the truth is I didn't ask for consulting or requested any kind of help or tech support. And because the keep the monster cables on the recording studio which is lock up all the time, doesn't mean I wanted a to use their recording studio. The person started to asking me questions about my current setup, equipment, etc maybe trying to make some time to justify the charge. I left the place immediately simulating a phone call, but two friends of mine who were with me, who are regular customers too, were asked to pay for his time. Worth to mention as a regular customer who go there almost every week to buy stuff. Lastly I just realized on Monday Nov 6th when I spent a couple of hundred on 2 monster cables the salesperson was really polite with me, and last night for some unknown reason the same guy was deliberately avoiding me. Are they expecting tipping every time I go there for shopping? or maybe I just gave them wrong idea because I mainly buy expensive stuff, however I'm not rich, just a regular guy who makes some money working hard just to put some bread on the table. Does anybody know about "Samash's new policy"??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Umbra Posted November 10, 2006 Members Share Posted November 10, 2006 Your writing is very difficult to understand but it seems that you went to sam ash, were in the studio area, and they tried to charge you for talking to the engineer about buying overpriced cables? Monster cables are a rip off btw. I left the place immediately simulating a phone call Were you making "ring ring" sounds as you left?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two kinds of people I dislike: Liars. The gullible. There is no way you can be charged for a conversation with a salesman - don't be an idiot.

Members XorAxAx Posted November 10, 2006 Members Share Posted November 10, 2006 Yeah dude, you don't have to pay them anything at all. And giving yourself an excuse to leave is a bad idea, as it only serves to legitimize the salesdroid's ridiculous scam. Better to make a scene and lay into the f***er in front of the other customers so that he gets an idea of just how much of a f***tard he is being. It would be one thing (though still stupid) if they had notified you of the charges in advance. Then you could merely leave in disgust. But to demand payment after the fact is a scam, plain as day. It's probably not legal either (IANAL). Go back and see if they pull this sh*t again, and stand up for yourself if they do. Oh, that reminds me. There is a fee of $50 you owe me for reading this email. PM me for payment arrangements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTOH, if you read MY post I then own you $50. If you got this far, we are now even ($50 - $50 = $ 0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How in the world can Sam Ash have the cajones to charge customers for sales information...?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be frank, I would have told that character to f--- off as well. There is a caveat in this; and you need to learn a lesson from it. If you choose, you can use more polite language, but most certainly you need to be assertive in putting this jerk and anyone else like him in his place. If you do not call Sam Ash to report this guy, someone else will fall for this BS. If Sam Ash is up to this, what they did to you is illegal.

Addressing me directly involves a $24 user fee. The application form is on the longish side (thanks to the lawyers, ugh), so probably get going on it asap.
