Freebeegas.com reviews and complaints

I also have been scammed. I received a gas voucher for $300. in the Poconos for looking at a timeshare. Got fuel at the same gas station, saved receipts, even running back once for like a $1.00's worth of gas to make the minimum of $100. I was told over the phone that they were doing a "mass mailing" over the weekend. That was over 3 months ago! Never received ANYTHING! RIP OFF ~ WASTE OF MY TIME AND ENERGY!

I also have been sending in receipts following all the instructions since October. I called in December questioning why I haven't received any free gas coupons yet they said there was a computer problem and in January I should receive all the 3 back monthes at once. When nothing came by Feburary I called back but the phone number is no longer in service. what a waste of $ 5.00 and stamps and time! Donna in MI.

wow!

I hav ebeen submitting reciepts since October and have recieved nothing.

Barbara,

I am so sorry you were taken too.

This company is one really big rip off. This company has been doing this to people like you and me for years. Here are some other links about the same thing.

Can we end the scam already and just close this company down before they hurt any more consumers like us and ruin any more businesses' reputations?

From what we have seen on loval TV and at the Ohio ttorney General's Office, you are not alone.

If any Ohio consumer wishes to discuss his or her concerns about GVN (Global Vacation Network), please call our law firm, Ferron & Associates, [protected] (Columbus, Ohio). We have sucessfully sued GVN in the past and have a case pending against them at this time. We would be happy to speak with anyone about their concerns -- as we are still gatherng evidence concerning GVN -- and there is no charge of any kind.

We too attended a presentation from Global Vacations. For our prize, we got to choose a gift. I chose a GPS that they said was worth $250.00 with the upgrade. By the time I paid for shipping and the upgrade, the GPS was not free. In fact, the value was much list on the retail market than they stated there's was worth. Shame on us for being scammed!

Also we received a card for $500.00 free gas from freebeegas.com after purchasing a $35, 000 vehicle. Thanks for saving us the hassle and $5.00.

I am another dummy who was scammed. I am still holding my receipts for the promised $150.00 I was to receive. Thanks for the Federal Trade Commission info. Thank You S. Gogan

I was entitled to $500.00 according to the Gas Redemption Voucher I received and have sent in 4 months worth of receipts, proper amount and on time, and have yet to receive even one $25 gas card. I received my latest letter back 'return to sender' in early May. I've tried phoning - the 800 number is now invalid, so I'm assuming it was all a fraud.

I recieved a 300.00 gas rebate card and have sent in my receipts for over 8 months! Nothing, I have nothing, everything seems to be shut down. Tia Wysocki, Michigan

Still waiting on three rebate cards, same story everything in order, will be sending out cards.
No communication since January.
Everything shut down.
Anyone know of any suits being filed?

Ditto on being a victim of this company's fraud. Five months worth of gas receipts were recieved "in proper order" according to their emails but not one voucher have I received. Unable to contact the company via telephone. emails not returned. Shame on them and the dealer that issued the "prizes".

I was also ripped off. I bought a Rainbow sweeper and was promised 25.00 in free gas for every $100.00 I spent. I sent in all my receipts to Largo, Fl. I got an E-mail message one time saying everything had been approved. I have never received one $25.00 gas card yet. The phone number they give you does not work.

we were promised 300 dollars in gas coupon and have not recieved any, any help would be apperciated

I have been part of this program since Sept and sent invoices for Oct, Nov, and Dec, as well.. I phoned in Dec, and was given the excuse that they were moving to larger quarters, and would send the vouchers in mid-January That has come and gone with no response. The phone number is now out of service. The e-mail sent to their address said vouchers would be sent to my home address. I can only wait and see.

It is an upside world. May GOD stop these kind of people or up right the world!

I sure got taken like a dummy. I will never go back to that car dealer in Longwood!

After reading all the complaints against this company and beoing "duped" myself...I researched the matter myself and found that Ms. Crystal Clark is currently under investigation by the Florida Attorney Generals office and that the company is out of business as of March 2009...if you would add your complaint to the list of 100's of thousands...go to www.floridalegal.com/tidewater and you can register your complaint your complaint there. I did & I hope that they catch Ms. Clark and punish her for doing business this way...

We went to a seminar sponspored by Grand Get a Way travel club. We were given a Certificate
to mail in to recieve $300.00 free Gas. We sent our Cert in the 15th of September 2008 with all the information required. We have not recieved our Gas Certificated by return mail as was promised. This required us to send a $5.00 Check with our Free Gas Cert. Which we did.
This is December 5th, 2008
Thanking you in advance for your help

I am a member of Freebeegas.com I have not yet received my $25 back for July or August. I am still waiting. I have actually talked with the Senior Manager of this company based out of Largo Florida because they had a problem with the first set of receipts I sent and it led me to believe it was a scam. He explained to me that my receipts had to be from the same type of gas station such as Exxon or whatever Company you gave them at registration. I was confused and just thought I could go anywhere as long as I bought the same kind of gas such as Unleaded or Regular. Anyway, I obtained my voucher through an advertisement for a car dealership that sent me a key to try for a new vehicle and the freebeegas voucher was my concellation prize. I was unaware you could purchase these and would like to know where cause they told me they could not be purchased. My boyfriend is a truck driver and spends thousands of dollars a month on gas. Even my 19 year old would love to be in the program. Anyway they have given me no reason to believe they are a scam so far, but like I said I am still waiting for my gift cards to be sent from July and August...

These bamboozlers known as freebeegas.com never sent one darn gas card to me after sending in gas receipts month after month per a contract agreement made back in July of 08. I garnished $300.00 in so called "gift cards" via a timshare tour I took (as a gift for taking the tour) so I warn any perspective timeshare buyers that if you take a tour, dont accept any free gas tokens and take the timeshare bucks and get hammered in the local bar and grill. This way you only have a headache the next day ...rather than for 8 months like the one I have had with these freebeegas phoneys !

Ashley's Furniture Stores were offering a promotion of free gas gift cards with the purchase of any of their furniture sets back in October/November 2008. Freebeegas.com was the company that was offering this free gas service. The deal was for every $100 dollars spent on gas each month, you needed to send in your receipts (from the same gas stations) along with your monthly voucher and they would send you $25 in gas gift cards each month up to the full amount of your gas credit.

I started sending in my receipts in November and I called the 1-800 # in mid February inquiring that I had not received anything. They told me they were behind, but my cards were going to be sent out in a few days. It's mid March and I still never received anything. I tried calling again and to my surprise this company no longer exists! No website, nothing!
Sounds to me like it's happening in a lot of places around the country. We need to make our voices heard and bring this fraudulent scam to the attention of the people that can do something about it.
So I started a petition against the freebeegas company. Please go to the website and sign the petition so we may turn it over to the attorney's and see if we can get somebody to do something about it! Thanks and good luck to everyone!

I attended a timeshare presentation at SouthBay Shores in Kissimmee. For attending, I was to receive 2 free airline tickets and $150.00 gas rebates. Because I sent the information regular postal, rather than by certified mail, I was told I had negated the offer and I did not receive the airline tickets, but that I could still get the gas rebates. I did EXACTLY as specified for the gas rebates and never received a dime. I called the 800 customer service number multiple times and was told each time that they were 'behind' in their mailouts, but I should be receiving mine soon. Never. Total ripoff. Stay away!

I puchased for $25 off of ebay - a certificate for $500 in free gas - $25 per month with $100 of gas purchases per month from the same gas station. I did research on this at the time (sept 08) and there were no complaints and it was a promotion from the gas stations to maintain loyal customers.
What a chore this has become. I have sent in receipts every month -w ell before the due date --- I have called every month when I did not receive the card - and heard that computers crashed, the cards didn't come in from the gas stations, etc. I never received my $25 card for October (my first month, November, December and now January, 09. I called them two weeks ago - and after calling several times - I finally got a person on the phone - she was a manager and her name is Amber. She said it was in the system to send me October, November and December within the next week - and then January would be processed and I would receive that in February, 2009.

Today - I called AGAIN - and the 800 number [protected]) was not in service - I sent an email off of their website and it was returned to me "undeliverable". It appears they were a scam and went out of business.

I will continue to pursue this --- and will notify ebay of the same - as this is an offer that is frequent on ebay.

I received a certificate to receive $25 back every month I turned in $100 worth of receipts. I think I got 2 $25 gas cards back for July and August and now have not received anything for September, October or November. I should get a total of $250 back if I complete the mailings but why? It was like pulling teeth to get the first 2 months back. The excuse was they had a poor system for flling the rebates or something dumb like that. They actually responded when I emailed them... No the email does not work anymore, and I am out potentially $205!

THIS IS A REAL RIPOFF! When I try to go to http:www.freebeegas.com it switches to http://www.gasregistration.com

We have wasted 6 months sending rebate coupons and receipts and the company seems to have disappeared. Mail was even returned this month. Thomasville sponsored the $500 rebate and won't do anything about it. We are out the $5 enrollment and the postage, and a huge amount of wasted time trying to get our money. If anyone has found a way to get someone to honor the freebeegas deal we all signed up for, please share that information so we can also recover our losses.

I was to received $300.00 in gift cards over a period of 12 months. We sat through a car presentation and our prize was the free gift cards. I sent my $5.00 to Free Bee Gas through pay pal as requested. I have also sent my gas receipts totaling $100.00 each month from Quick Trip as required. Each time I have received an e-mail saying my receipts were in good order and would received my $25.00 gift card. I have never received any gift cards. I am ready to send my receipts for the month of December. But, reading all the complaints, I see it will be a waste of time. We have been scammed.

Please sign the petition against the fraudulent scam of freebeegas at this site:

Help spread the word!

I received my freebeegas card thru TYLER FORD of BOONEVILLE, ARKANSAS. I also sent in a $5.00 fee and did everything as required to receive gas cards for $25.00 each month for sending in $100.00 worth of reciepts.
I sent in Oct. Nov. and Dec.receipts and have received anything but emails from them. I see now that it was a scam . I can't help but blame the dealership that ran the promotion . I think they should have checked out this
freebeegas before using them as a way to get people into there dealership. After contacting TYLER FORD of BOONEVILLE, ARKANSAS they were no help at all. That is one car dealership I will never shop at again.

I bought a new Dodge Charger from Monroeville Dodge and they gave me a card for $450 in free gas and a card for $5 for the activation fee. I sent in my recipts totaling $100 for Sept, Oct, Nov, and Dec and still have not gotten anything. I have e-mailed them 3 times with no responce. I thiught this was legit bacause of the $5 card for thr actavation fee and it was from a Dodge dealer. Did anyone else get the $5 card?

I started submitting receipts and have received acknowledgement of receipt of receipts since August 08 and I have yet to receive the gas cards. I have written the company thru their website, I have left messages at the processing center...nothing. I have sent a formal complaint to the Federal Trade Commission and plan to send another to the BBB, but doubt a company this shady is a member. Word needs to get out that the FREEBEEGAS promotion is a fraud and the government needs to shut them down!

I failed to include scammed from Grand Rapids, Mn Tom Clusiau's Sales and Rental

This is a scam after reading the others my third sent and no voucher. Nice scam $5.00 for processing per person hope the beach is nice ###.

I have sent in 3 months worth of gas receipts ($100.00 ea. month for Sept., Oct., Nov.) and have only received e-mails that my receipts were received. BUT NO VOUCHERS YET!., . Why does it take so long. Will the vouchers ever be sent? Only one word comes to mind...SCAM!

I sent the first receipt and voucher in July. this is now Dec and I have yet to receive a $25 card. I supose this is another Scam, rip off and so on. Does one need to get a lawyer or consumer agency to get to the bottom of this or will you ever send any amt of money. I am thinking that if every one has sent you $5 for the regiisteration you are getting pretty rich off us "winners".

I received a card, from a local dealer, worth $300.00 of gas. I registered and asked for coupons to be mailed to me. My printer was not working at that time. That was three months ago and I still have not received the coupons. From what I have been reading, the coupons are not worth the paper they are printed on. My certificate passcode is AD6287731500.

I have been sending in gas receipts since July and still no gas cards and I had to pay $5.oo to activate my membership I did not relize that others have had the same problem till I loged on to see if I could get imformation on when to expect my gas cards and saw all the comlaints I guess we are all getting ripped off just what we all need in this economy do they think we all have money to throw away?

This is a scam. We need to submit a class action lawsuit.

They are not sending out gas Gift Cards in return for recieved gas reciets and can not be contacted.

I was told that I will receive 250.00 dollars if I purchase gas from any of the gas station that was on the card and if the receipts added up to be 250.oo dollars. I will get the money back, so I sent the receipts to Freebeegas.com at 141oo Walsingham Road Stuite 36 box 12, Largo, Florida 33774 and it was returned back to me. I beleived what the sell person told. I was expecting that 250.00 dollars. Please tell me what I had to do to get my money.

I bought a service with Travel TO GO at one of their sales things. They had an incentive of $300 in free gas. I have received nothing. I received emails from FREEBEEGAS every month saying my paper work was received and in order. Month after month I called. They said the last time I called that their computer problems were corrected and my 6 cards would be mailed jan 1. I have received nothing and now their phone number is disconnected and all my emails are returned as undeliverable. They used the mail for this fraud. Does anyone know what state department to contact for criminal charges. This companies who give these things out as incentives should be at fault also.

Car dealership in Milledgeville, Ga. told us that we had won a 300.00 free gas card. We have to spend 100.00 a month at Walmart and was suppose to receive a 25.00 gift card. IN Oct, Nov, and Dec 2008, I mailed in the receipts but never received the gift cards. I have inquired, with no response. Shame on them!

We need to blow the whistle on "myfreetravel.com" since it is eerily similar to scams that were confirmed just a few months ago. Valluebuzz and BBC Resource Management in Arizona as well as Tidewater Marketing of Florida come to mind.

"Myfreetravel.com" operates the rebate program through "gasrebate.net" and "groceryrebate.net". Their terms & conditions are typical as far as it can be confusing to the average consumer. However, the crux of the scam is the $9.95 registration fee which is refundable at $10.00 (yes, you end up getting 5 cents more AND only if you do not make any mistake). Yes, there is the "one mistake" clause and since most regular consumers would make a mistake, they keep the $9.95. Then at their discretion, you may still participate but any more mistakes will disqualify you, etc.

On October 20, 2009 the Better Business Bureau accreditation of Myfreetravel was suspended due to failure to fulfill and/or abide by BBB Membership Standards. The BBB has no reliability rating for Myfreetravel at this time as a result of consumer allegation patterns requiring investigation.

I'm glad this network exists so that I can spread the word using your experiences as proof to backup my experiences. A similar rebate program exists and is offered by "myfreetravel.com". Tied with this are the following websites: "GasRebate.net", "GroceryRebate.net", "repsites.us/multirebate", "repsites.us/gasrebate", "claimyourvisacards.com", "GroceryRebate.net", etc.

The wise guy behind all of these programs is Steve Horowitz. Check him out at .

ZURVITA is fronting the process selling Biz Paks with these incentives tied in. I sense it's a matter of time it will implode. You will not find legal information on the company selling the rebates and when you inquire for this information, you will be given the run around. The Terms & Conditions are poorly written. Most glaring is a $9.95 administration fee for registration which is refundable in the amount of $10 (red flag). And then there is the "one mistake clause" which if you exceed will disqualify you from receiving benefits AND you WILL NOT be reimbursed your $9.95/$10.00 even if no services of products have been delivered to you yet. Etc., etc. Watch out!

SCAM was written all over it and all of us with trusting souls fell for it. So much for integrity. FREEBEEGAS.COM took all my ORIGINAL receipts which I needed for tax purposes. They also took $5.00 and MADE MONEY off of all of us. This is STEALING among other things. Shouldn't they be investigated by A G's office in Florida?

I have sent in 6 months worth of receipts. I sent in $5.00. They have closed down the phone number and they do not respond to my emails. The bad thing is they want the ORIGINAL receipts. I need them for IRS. Second, they are MAKING MONEY, not sending out money off of all of us. I have not received any of my receipts back. I wish I would, along with my $5.00.
