FreightCenter/Yellow Roadway Overweight charges

What were the cube dimensions? If they are greater than the actual weight, that is what you are charged.

Weight change can be disputed. Your 3rd party logistics is to blame for this, not the carrier. In the future call carrier directly or use freightquote.com

Nigerian Bible Scam 

by Barbara Brabec 

 

 

Your church may be a target for scammers who want Bibles they can sell in Nigeria on the black market. A reader reports on a scam perpetrated on her church.  

 

 

"A couple of years ago," writes Christine in North Carolina, "our church was contacted by an "Elder Israel Osawe" of Nigeria who asked if we could donate a couple dozen giant print KJV Bibles (new or used) for use by older members of his church who couldn’t afford to buy Bibles. 

 

"He said they were actually searching in the trash dumpsters for these Bibles and, of course, that would strike a sympathetic nerve with churchgoers. It was my job to gather the Bibles. I maintained communication with this man by e-mail and he sent all kinds of e-mails about how they were praying for us, and how God had specifically revealed to them that our church would help them. What raised my suspicion was when, to my strong objection, they made me the international president of their ministry without even meeting me, and began begging me for money for canoes, bicycles, and a laptop computer. 

 

"So I began some investigation on my own and actually found Israel Osawe's name on a scammer's web site. Thank God we found out this information before sending the Bibles or anything else for that matter. Until this happened, I didn’t know there was a black market for KJV Bibles in Nigeria. After arriving in Nigeria, the Bibles we almost sent would have been sold on the black market and the money would have been pocketed by the scammers." 

 

Christine’s research revealed that this is a subgenre of the scam that uses fraudulent credit card information to order Bibles from Christian bookstores. And it’s a scam that continues today. "Even though there is not a great monetary loss in the above scam, the spiritual loss can be great for those compassionate individuals who are sending bibles to those who they feel need them," adds Christine. 

 

After receiving Christine's report, I Googled Osawe’s name and came up with the following links. The third one was particularly interesting:

By reading the communications this particular man received, you can see how these con artists cleverly play on people’s emotions over a long period of time. After they have built a level of trust, they begin to ask for more and more things while setting them up for the "kill" – the request for big bucks.

REMEMBER . . . Nigerian con artists are constantly preying on Christians, Christian book stores, and small businesses on the Web. Unfortunately, many tender souls fall victim to their schemes, often losing thousands of dollars in the process.

Hello, I am the new VP of sales for FreightCenter and hopefully I can shed light on your situation. When there is a re-bill from our carriers, the original rate you approved was based on a cost per pound. We utilize that amount in case of a re-bill. You will notice that this amount is greatly different than if you went into your Freight Center account and ran your original shipment with the added weight/different freight class. The reason for this is that you accepted our terms stating that we can and will charge you any amount we like even though it most likely will not reflect anything remotely accurate with what we were billed by our carriers and adding a profit.  

 

My suggestion is to not bother trying to fight this since you accepted these terms when you booked your shipment with us and you will not get any refund directly from us.  

 

FreightCenter.com did not intentionally set out to rip you off but if there is an adjustment from the carrier, we will charge you whatever we want and you are screwed

If you go into your account that you created and re-run your quote you will see that the rate there is very different than what they are charging you. they break down your cost per pound typically and that is what they use. Also, as you know, you are getting screwed.  

 

I suggest getting a screen shot of that actual rate you ran, dispute it with your credit card company and tell freightcenter to go eat dirt.  

 

they are stealing from ANYONE who gets a rebill and you can fight it. I did! Don't take their crap and post this information all over the place. I saw on BBB they have a C+ that is almost failing! No wonder they take advantage of us.  

 

Fight back against them and you will see your credit card company will help. Also, I suggest filing a small claims case in your hometown since they are not charging you the right rate. They will have to hire a lawyer or get to your city to go to court. You'll win and if they default, you have a judgement against them.

In response to D. Ben Cross. When one agrees to terms there are certain resonable expectations such as honesty, and customer support that go along with the contract. One does not expect fraud or incompetence. To make matters worse, freightcenter does not stand behind their customers, by saying "you signed the terms". It is like the Nazi's excuse after WWII, "I was just following orders". Behaviors such as freightcenter(lack of responsibility) and YRC (fraud) is what is making America become a third world country, instead of the great and fair nation that it once was. As Gomer Pyle used to say: "Shame, Shame, Shame". There is a very apropriate website that says it all:

THE HOLY BIBLE 

 

 

CONTAINING THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS 

 

 

TRANSLATED OUT OF THE ORIGINAL TONGUES AND WITH THE FORMER TRANSLATIONS DILIGENTLY COMPARED AND REVISED BY HIS MAJESTY'S SPECIAL COMMAND 

 

 

Appointed to be Read in Churches 

 

 

The Text Conformable to That of The Edition of 1611 Commonly Known as 

The Authorized or King James Version 

 

 

THE TRANSLATORS TO THE READER 

 

The best things have been calumniated 

 

Zeal to promote the common good, whether it be by devising anything ourselves, or revising that which hath been laboured by others, deserveth certainly much respect and esteem, but yet findeth but cold entertainment in the world. It is welcomed with suspicion instead of love, and with emulation instead of thanks: and if there be any hole left for cavil to enter (and cavil, if it do not find a hole, will make one), it is sure to be misconstrued, and in danger to be condemned. This will easily be granted by as many as know story, or have any experience. For, was there ever anything projected, that savoured any way of newness or renewing, but the same endured many a storm of gainsaying, or opposition? A man would think that civility, wholesome laws, learning and eloquence, synods, and church maintenance (that we speak of no more things of this kind) should be as safe as a sanctuary, and out of shot [, as they say, that no man would lift up the heel; no, nor dog move his tongue against the motioners of them. For by the first, we are distinguished from brute beasts led with sensuality; by the second, we are bridled and restrained from outrageous behaviour, and from doing of injuries, whether by fraud or by violence; by the third, we are enabled to inform and reform others, by the light and feeling that we have attained unto ourselves; briefly, by the fourth being brought together to a parle face to face, we sooner compose our differences than by writings, which are endless; and lastly, that the church be sufficiently provided for, is so agreeable to good reason and conscience, that those mothers are holden to be less cruel, that kill their children as soon as they are born, than those nursing fathers and mothers (wheresoever they be) that withdraw from them who hang upon their *** (and upon whose *** again themselves do hang to receive the spiritual and sincere milk of the word) livelihood and support fit for their estates. Thus it is apparent, that these things which we speak of, are of most necessary use, and therefore, that none, either without absurdity can speak against them, or without note of wickedness can spurn against them. 

 

Yet for all that, the learned know that certain worthy men [Anacharsis with others] have been brought to untimely death for none other fault, but for seeking to reduce their countrymen to good order and discipline; and that in some commonweals [e.g. Locri] it was made a capital crime, once to motion the making of a new law for the abrogating of an old, though the same were most pernicious; and that certain [Cato the elder], which would be counted pillars of the state, and patterns of virtue and prudence, could not be brought for a long time to give way to good letters and refined speech, but bare themselves as averse from them, as from rocks or boxes of poison; and fourthly, that he was no babe, but a great clerk [Gregory the Divine], that gave forth (and in writing to remain to posterity) in passion peradventure, but yet he gave forth, that he had not seen any profit to come by any synod, or meeting of the clergy, but rather the contrary; and lastly, against church maintenance and allowance, in such sort, as the ambassadors and messengers of the great King of Kings should be furnished, it is not unknown what a fiction or fable (so it is esteemed, and for no better by the reporter himself [Nauclerus], though superstitious) was devised--namely, that at such a time as the professors and teachers of Christianity in the Church of Rome, then a true church, were liberally endowed, a voice forsooth was heard from heaven, saying, "Now is poison poured down into the church," etc.. Thus not only as oft as we speak, as one saith, but also as oft as we do anything of note or consequence, we subject ourselves to everyone's censure, and happy is he that is least tossed upon tongues; for utterly to escape the snatch of them it is impossible. If any man conceit, that this is the lot and portion of the meaner sort only, and that princes are privileged by their high estate, he is deceived. "As the sword devoureth as well one as the other," as it is in Samuel [2 Sam. 11:25]; nay, as the great commander charged his soldiers in a certain battle, to strike at no part of the enemy, but at the face; and as the king of Syria commanded his chief captains to "fight neither with small nor great, save only against the king of Israel" [1 Ki. 22:31]; so it is too true, that Envy striketh most spitefully at the fairest, and at the chiefest. David was a worthy prince, and no man to be compared to him for his first deeds, and yet for as worthy as act as ever h

Every time I look in the mirror  

All these lines on my face getting clearer  

The past is gone  

It goes by, like dusk to dawn  

Isn't that the way  

Everybody's got their dues in life to pay  

 

Yeah, I know nobody knows  

where it comes and where it goes  

I know it's everybody's sin  

You got to lose to know how to win  

 

Half my life  

is in books' written pages  

Lived and learned from fools and  

from sages  

You know it's true  

All the things come back to you  

 

Sing with me, sing for the year  

Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears  

Sing with me, if it's just for today  

Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away
