I wish to warn ppl of a computer company scam. They are called BLUE HIPPO. Do NOT buy anything from them!! They will take your money and run and/or they will take FOREVER to get you your stuff, and its all from the last century. Old , very old not up to date, and their 7-10 business day line will take about 3 or 4 months!! Its for low-income to middle income ppl, and thier "free" stuff that they throw in for you is SHODDY, not worth the hassle. Also, Blue Hippo has many pending lawsuits against them, check them out with better business bureau, and you will see for yourself. My older brother and his family found out the hard way, called me for help, but there is nothing I could do about it.

I'm sorry you got burned - but common sense could have avoided the situation.
They charge I think if last I heard - $35 a week for 12 months. That's $1820. You can buy a brand new Dell with monitor at WalMart for less than $600.
I would have just put the $35 a week in a savings account, and in 18 weeks, 4.5 months, would have had a brand new computer.

Thanks for the warning. I was going to try to refinance a new computer from Financing Alternatives. I decided to pull out of the deal, instead I just purchased a new computer from ABC Warehouse. I'm glad I purchased the computer directly to avoid all the extra expense with financing.

I saw the TV commercial and I thought "SCAM!. They prey on those that don't know what they are getting into.
Did you report them to the Better Business Bureau?
