I was one of the dumb ones that fell for the sca. I had absolutely no credit and really wanted to try to build it up. I have made many purchases from Aarons and Rent-A-Center. The difference is you get the things you pay for it is really helpful for people like me without a lot of means to get the things you need. Some people live so far in the country you cant just run to the library to use a computer. I thought I could finish my college degree online with this great deal. I was very wrong and it put me in an even worse situation. Hopefully the Maryland BBB will be able to help me!

Yeah, if you’re that desperate for a computer then go use the ones at your local library until you save up to buy one outright (which will be a lot quicker than a year at $39.99 a week!).

I’ve heard the commercials but figured it was too good to be true. Guess it is. What I like is by the time you pay off the computer and receive it it will already be yesterday’s news technology-wise if it isn’t already right now. There is no free lunch!

I had never sat down to run the actual numbers. I had just assumed it was a bad deal. This infuriates me. I had no idea how much of a rip-off this was. What a scam! If your business model operates on taking advantage of people not smart enough to know better, or just down on their luck, then you deserve to be shut down.

This is the same type of deal as Aaron’s or Rent To Own stores all over the country. You spend 4X the amount for a washer or a sofa or a television set with a weekly payment than if you’d simply saved the money for a few months. These companies are making a killing, most often on the people who can afford it least.
