Fry's/Outpost cheating...

i saw someone else post a topic like this here, weather its the right place or not guess it doesnt matter, theres no were else to put it.

but... i was just looking at a couple of the last reviews for outpost.com and it looked kinda weired to me.

reviews-

Item I bought was a router. It was free after rebate. The shipping was also free. (Couldn't possibly do better on price!) Despite selecting free shipping option the router arrived in just 3 business days--much sooner than expected. Flawless transaction. Will order from again.

I ordered 7 ink cartridges and the order came in and I had no problems. I don't understand the low rating here - as Outpost is rated rather high on Bizrate.com and they are customer certified with over 125,000 reviews. I love shopping at Outpost!
------------------------------------------------------------------

now i am of cource not 100% sure that those are fraudulant reviews, but i would say im 85% shur those are fraudulant, and 15% posibility that those 2 ppl could just be Stupid beyond belief with an IQ u can cound with 1 hand.

the review that the first guy rote, he's talking about a router, that i saw on Outpost.com with my own eye's, Outpost used fauls advertizing and bait and switch... u have to check a box indicating your router version, and each version has a corisponding rebate amount(on the rebate form)... thy advertized a $30 rebate, but the model # was only for $20 on the rebate form, and could of been easily confused since only the last digit in the model # was different form the $30 rebate. [so either the ppl who bought it got no rebate at all, or only a $20 rebate]

i have browsed there website and found similar and worse advertizments witch some are just flat out fraud.

thy go out of there way to not show any inportant information about the product your buying, or even provide a manufacturer spec link.

thy also dont show u shipping cost till u give them your card #.. it goes on, etc etc.
==========================================
with that said, u can prolly understand now why i suspect those reviews.

Note- i have never bought anything from Outpost, and never will.. i saw there buisness practicess with my own eyes just browsing there site... it was too obviouse.... if those reviews arnt fraud, i hope those 2 either run into a horible acident, or win a darwin award.
