Anonymous Coward User ID: 769367 Brazil 09/12/2009 05:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | WATCHIN SANFORD AND SON-I AM SHOCKED BY THE ADVERTISERS AND THE ADVANTAGE THEY TAKE OF BLACK FOLKS Its a shame really, i have a directv hd dvr that i set to record this show when ever it comes on on any channel and i notice that on the channels that are targeted to our black brothers that play s&s have these advertisers/commercials that are the biggest ripoffs of all.
The one im refeering to is called think cash, its like a 1 minute commercial asking you if you need quick type money for ur fridge broke, car repair etc and towards the end of the commercial i hit pause on the very fine print that is hard to read and is only displayed for a second or so.
It says the apr for a $700 loan from them is 288%-!!! YES 288% PERCENT and the payments are bi weekly of $108-so thats $216 a month for their 12 months coming to $2,592.
So it cost you $1,892 to borrow that $700
C,mon black bros,sis-dont feed these frikken scammers/ripoff artist.
And why does the gov even allow these companies to exsist?
Money under the table somewhere
Oh and btw, its me Luke8MyNik here in brazil and yea its still hot/hunid/rainy here, hehehehe |

The cost of your loan is based on the size of the loan you are approved for. It ranges from $0.92 per day per $100 borrowed (334% APR) for small, short-term loans down to $0.24 per day per $100 borrowed (87% APR) for larger, longer-term loans for customers with successful payment histories or higher credit scores. While these rates are lower than the rates charged by many other short term lenders, they are higher than some other forms of credit, so we encourage you to pay off your loan as quickly as possible. Actually even more here on this scam>> [ link to www.thinkcash.com] |
