The use of a consumer review of a product is to see how others think that certain product was/is, and to make sure its worth the money, to see how it works, etc.
The Quality of the product is more important. If the quality of your product is in line with the standards of the region that your product is sold in then there would be no need to waste money on customers that complain because they think they can. I earn an income from companies who waste money on stroking customer egos.
People want to save money and sometimes do not think about the quality. For example, get a product of inferior quality and sell it for, let's say, 2 for 20 vs. superior quality product priced at 15 each. Consumer will pick inferior because they think they saved money when in truth, they did not.
Do you think credit card companies care where someone lives, or how old they are, or how ill? I doubt it; it is all just business to them. If money was charged, then money is owed. If the money was not charged to this persons account, she needs a lawyer to protect herself.
general motors i think. well only including american automobile companies
hackers may blackmail companies by going through the companies database and finding hidden bad infomation about other issuesor things then saying "if you dont give me some of your money i will tell the police about ............ "
There are a lot of invention companies that prey on people. If you have a particular product that you think will do good in a store, make some products (make sure it is the final one and not a prototype), go to the store where you think the product will sell and speak to a manager. See if you can have them put your items on the shelf. Make sure that you patent your idea before bringing it to the attention of a store.
Two good examples would be Insurance and Timeshare companies. People may not need their product or services. Compared to their daily lives, people needs and wants are not activated for this. Therefore, these companies engage in hard selling to push the product, and create awareness to the public.
