Lucid Deals Iphone
Is ‘Lucid Deals’ website legit?
I need to replace a iphone & they are showing a Iphone LGS 32 GB for $99.95 w/ free shipping. This is about a $700 phone…too good to be true?
Unfortunately, out of all the research I’ve personally done trying to find out, the process is such a long pain in the butt one that it almost never gets finished so most people don’t really know.
First – it’s not a straight out “Buy this here” offer. You have to complete three different “offers” – one from each of three pages. Most of them cost money to do, you need to sign up for some service or the other. Then, after signing up for three deals, you have to refer 5 different people to the site and those five people must all be completely different people who all complete “offers” too. So you’ll have 5 friends who all every one of them have to sign up for offers which cost them money too in order for them to count. If you try to pretend to be a different person and sign up, they can cancel it on you. There are actually many reasons why they have rights to cancel on you, and normally that happens, it’s canceled on people or they can’t get 5 people to spend money signing up on something just so their friend can get a good price on a phone.
It’s such a big run around that the site puts you through that I do not know of anybody who has ever been able to finish it all to see if it’s real. It is going to cost you and your friends so much in order to sign up for all these “offers” that it would not be a good price for the phone in the end, even if they did go through with their end of the deal.
The site itself is registered under protection so that you can not see who it really belongs to. Not many legitimate businesses will register their site under a hidden name, as a real business has no reason to. Sometimes they will anyway, but most of the time they don’t.
I’ve done a lot of personal searching and haven’t found a single person who has said that they and their friends all completed the offers and they got their merchandise. Most people get this big run around and then finally give up, or break some little rule that they didn’t know even existed and therefore they still get billed for the offers they signed up for but the item they wanted to purchase is no longer available for them to buy.
I would honestly stay far away from them and not even try. But if you and five friends feel like signing up for a bunch of offers, you’ll need to read every bit of the Terms and Conditions and things very closely so you don’t get it canceled on you.
One last thing – which is part of their Terms, it says this:
“We may terminate this Agreement or cease offering the Service, at any time and for any reason in our sole discretion.”
So really they can terminate it on you for any reason they want and not be breaking the contract. They really don’t owe you anything. The only thing they couldn’t legally do is keep your money that you paid them for the product. They still get paid for every offer that you signed up for, and you can’t just cancel them, those you are stuck with no matter what.
I wouldn’t even begin to get involved with them. It’s far too shady.
