I ordered these Aluma-wallets on March 10,2011.On the advertisement they offered a free gift card with the purchase. Within a week I was e-mailed that I would be billed within 30 days for a product savings book that had hundreds of dollars of savings in it.I contacted the customer service and said I did not want this.It was canceled.Then today, I went on line and found this great site with all the complaints.I went on the aluma-wallets web site.I tabbed to order confirmation,entered my phone number.They had no information.I finally called their customer service.They said,the order was placed on March 10,2011 and it was due to ship on April 21,2011.The delay was due to overwhelming demand.I requested cancellation.The customer service person asked me why.I said I just want it canceled.They offered me a $6.99 credit for the delay if I keep the order.I thought about it for a second.Then I knew it was a scam.I said no I want to cancel.They said my credit card was not charged because the order was not shipped".I requested a cancellation number and got it/.I had them repeat the confirmation number just to make sure that it was the same that they have given me?.I will check my credit card statements to ensure that they did not charge me;.I say this to everyone out there that ordrered this product to read the reviews?.Call aluma-wallet immediately;.If they have not shipped the items,you can cancel before they charge your credit card,.Make sure you get a confirmation number;.Do not believe their site that says the customer service number is available from 9:00 A.M.-5:00 P.M.Eastern time only.I got through before that time. 1292927  Comments (15) |

If it was this easy, don't you think every retailer in America would have a device to do this instead of having to manually swipe your card? You fools do realize that the magnetic reader on a card reader is about 1/300th of an inch from the magnetic stripe and then even sometimes you have re swipe it again due to a card read error. Yep it's true. A sucker born every minute. |
| 2. Written by Reagan on January 30, 2012 from tampa, florida, US I have mine for a week, and no problems so far. It's strong, light, and holds all of my stuff perefectly. But I'm just a tad bit worried, after reading all of the terrible reviews. I love the accordian design, it's so perfect. I bought mine at Walmart, so if it breaks, I can take it back and get my money back. Unlike the website where you get no refund back after you purchased It. |
| 3. Written by Cam on January 16, 2012 from naples, florida, US I tried to order two and ended up with a bill of just under $70 for five wallets that I didn't want. I tried to call and cancel and like many of you, and they said "it's not in the system" call back in four days. I had a feeling it was a scam at this point (all the posts her confirm that) and so I called my credit card and had it frozen. This is an awful company. |

| 5. Written by Love my AlumaWallet on January 10, 2012 from costa mesa, california, US Wow. I love my Aluma Wallet. I ordered it because I've been the victim of identity fraud TWICE. The small price I paid with a quick and easy order, no fuss, no muss, has more than saved me the nightmares I went through with ID fraud. No, it doesn't replace my regular wallet. I only use it to keep my credit cards and anything with a magnetic strip in. I'm not naive enough to think a small thing like this can actually replace a wallet. Never thought that even when I saw the commercial. All I wanted was to protect my credit cards from RF theft. I get peace of mind for that. I still carry a regular wallet in my purse. Mine works perfectly, and I've had it for over a year. |
| 6. Written by Terry on December 19, 2011 from peoria, illinois, US I had my wife call to order 2 of these. After being on the phone for 30 minutes, I told her to hang up. I then called my credit card company & had them put in for a lost card & they're sending me a new one. This was the most unpleasant experience I have had. Those of you who did actually purchase this wallet should definitely file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.  |
| 7. Written by BIGGEST PIECE OF CRAP EVER! on November 21, 2011 from tampa, florida, US I bought one from Target not over the phone the THANK GOD! From the commercials you see it SEEMS like a pretty good product. I bought it orginally was supposed to be Christmas present but I gave it to him early. He used MAYBE 3 days before it started to fall apart, it had dents in it like he tried to stop bullets with it (I DONT RECOMMEN!) They dont stand behind their products either. When I called the customer service to let them know what happened they said there was basically nothing they could do since I didnt order it over the phone. |
| 8. Written by Sam Yaw on October 2, 2011 from los angeles, california, US This TV Ad was interresting. But wait a "Automated" taking Machine always offering much more and not what I wanted. If I can't get a call back via e-mail , they can take this product and Shove it. I only want a "Live" opperater or no "Sales......! |
| 9. Written by goldenhawk on August 15, 2011 from orlando, florida, US I ordered one set from the tv add. I have a bank charge of $77.88 for five sets. The ,order taker is soo fast that you do not know what you ordered or how many or the cost. I wil wait till they come and then send them back as they stated they had shipped. It is a rip off. |
