Hamilton, NJ -- Just as sure as the sunrise, it’s guaranteed to happen every Spring. They promise to clean all the carpets in your house for $59.00. Sound too good to be true? It probably is. To make matters worse, they finally show up–three hours late-in a beat up pick-up truck with no company name, and hop out in torn jeans and a soiled tee-shirt. Then you realize it: you’ve been the victim of a bait -and -switch campaign.

What is bait and switch? Bait and switch scams work like this: a company advertises cleaning a roomful of carpet for a ridiculously low price. When they arrive, they inform you the price they quoted is only for the traffic lanes and doesn’t include any cleaning chemicals.” That’s like taking a bath with no soap,” says senior textile inspector Rodney Mortillaro at www.AllstateCleaning.Com.

So you agree to pay extra for the chemicals because you are thankful someone showed up. In the end, the final bill ends up costing you hundreds of dollars. Another typical scam is hearing that a company will clean a set amount of rooms for a very low price ( like 5 rooms for $49.00). After they begin, you discover a linen closet, hallway, foyer, or regular closet counts as a room, and you wind up paying a lot more than you thought you would. Bait-and-switch scams are especially targeted at the elderly. Seniors are more likely to be intimidated by high pressure tactics and by someone who “promises” to give then a good deal.

The latest carpet cleaning ruse is promoted through deal-of-the-day websites. That’s where you’re offered 3 rooms of carpet cleaning for $49. To take advantage of this offer, you have to prepay for a non-refundable certificate that expires in 90 days. Also, the website that makes the offer IS NOT responsible for the quality of the work. Plus all sales are final. What you don’t know is that most companies that do this went into business yesterday.

Then, they have have to give half of the $49 or $24.50 to the deal-of-the-day websites. Do you really think that they can afford to clean 3 rooms of carpets in your house for $24.50 and still make a profit? Of course not. Most of the time, they don’t even show up for appointments. If they do show up, then they'll tell you that you're going to get a quick dash and splash job that just uses water.

If you want a better job, you'll have to fork up more money for them to use a cleaning chemical. Or they get so many calls, they’ll book you out three months in advance and then the certificate expires. If they do show up, the job won't be guaranteed. If you complain about them to the BBB, Yelp or Google+, that’s OK. They’ll be in business tomorrow under another name as quick as you can change your socks. Then they’ll do it all over again.

One reason why they may clean for such a low price is because the cleaners are gang bangers or illegal aliens with criminal records, or they may be foreign nationals. Entering your home allows them to "case" your home to plan a future burglary or home invasion. Also,they may sell your credit card information to an identity theft ring.

So how can you avoid a bait-and-switch scam? The best protection against bait-and-switch is to ask some pointed questions before the cleaner arrives at your home. Call several local cleaning companies. If the company cannot answer simple questions, move on to another company. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Here are 10 questions you should ask:

  1. Are you certified in carpet cleaning? If not, what type of formal training do you have?
  2. How many years has your company been in business? ( the longer, the better)
  3. Can you provide a list of references I can call?
  4. Is your company drug, alcohol and criminal free? ( Companies that don’t screen their employees can put you and your loved ones at risk. To be on the safe side, DO NOT deal with companies or cleaners who don’t pre-screen and drug test their employees and who are not bonded )
  5. Can you provide proof of insurance and a business license?
  6. What steps will be included in your cleaning process?
  7. How long will it take for the carpet to dry?
  8. Do you offer free, no-obligation, on-site written quotations?
  9. Do you offer a written, satisfaction or money back guarantee?
  10. Can you verify that your cleaning solutions safe for my family and my pets?

After your questions have been answered, you also may what to check the firm’s reputation with the Better Business Bureau at www.bbb.org. You can also check the consumer affairs department of your state’s attorney general’s office. “You’d be shocked at the number of companies that have lousy reputations when it comes to addressing consumer complaints”says Mortillaro. When you have decided on a cleaner, make sure you pay your bill with a major credit card. Sometimes it’s difficult getting a cleaner to come back to fix a problem after you’ve paid the bill .Paying by credit card will give you an option to dispute the bill if the problem is not resolved to your satisfaction.

Huddersfield, United Kingdom, 12 May 2014 -- The highly talented search engine optimization team, which has over twenty years of experience in the SEO field, has today announced their new SEO service, SEOKickup.com, which will provide improved search engine rankings, boost sales and offer peace of mind.

Unlike other SEO providers, SEO Kickupwill remove the falsehoods and myths about achieving a high ranking within Google. SEOKickup.com provides an acute SEO service, which enables website owners to rank their websites higher up in Google’s search results, without hurting their bottom line.

“There has been a recent surge in consumer complaints against SEO firms and professionals as clients begin to find more and more often, that SEO firms are masters at offering the world and guaranteeing a number one spot in Google’s SERPs, but unfortunately fail to deliver on those words,” said Faisal Ammari, CEO of SEO Kick Up. “Our team has the tools to ensure a website can climb up Google’s organic search results as we specialize in improving rankings. Clicks mean sales and we understand just how important it is to ensure your business website is being seen and clicked on.”

Many businesses have spent a great deal on their websites and even more on SEO services in an attempt to achieve high rankings. Unfortunately, they have not been able to keep up with the significant changes that Google has undertaken in its latest search engine algorithms. This is where the SEOKickup team differs from other services. The team reviews each website as a standalone case and makes use of over fifteen ‘white-hat’ SEO techniques to ensure the business website they are working on adheres to the specific guidelines set about by the leading search engines.

“I had quite a terrible experience with an SEO firm and when my employees asked me to consider using SEOKickup.com, I was reluctant as I didn’t want to spend another penny on an SEO service that could cause my website and business harm,” said Jeremy Bostock, Bar Harbor, ME. “We tried them out and haven’t looked back since. The SEO Kickup team removed all the defunct black-hat tricks the previous SEO company had added to my site and then got to work on boosting it on Google and other leading searching engines. The results over the last three months have been outstanding and our sales have increased by fifty five percent.”

MosquitoFree International has just launched a crowd funding campaign which puts the fight against biting insects back in your hands. Supporters of the campaign will be the first to receive the very powerful MightyMini, take anywhere solar powered, child and environmentally safe biting insect trap.

They will also receive extra MightyMini traps for free, to give or sponsor to anyone or any organisation they want to help protect against the disease and discomfort of mosquitoes, noseeums, midges, sand flies... whatever is the main danger they need protection from.

There is a video and full details available on the campaign website: http://bit.ly/1u949Rm

Summer 2014 in the Northern Hemisphere is going to be dangerous. The Asian Tiger Mosquito and other carriers of viruses that can disable and kill children and adults are spreading further north into areas we had previously believed were safe.

Designed in response to requests by thousands of people for a family safe and environmentally kind control system for the worst biting insects, mosquitoes, midges, noseeums and sand flies, the MightyMini has been designed, and successfully tested as a highly effective biting insect trap that attracts and kills them, before they get to you.

Take it anywhere you are. This revolutionises mosquito control at home or while camping, fishing, picnic, beach or boating. The MightyMini is the first fully portable, mini, solar powered, liquid (safe) attractant operated trap, that has been released for under $20, that can travel anywhere and trap and kill biting insects before they bite.

“Biting insects can lay up to 3,000 eggs in their short but annoying lives. If we trap and kill them, there are less eggs to hatch and come back to bite us. They are territorial. Kill the females (the ones that bite to get protein from your blood to fertilise their eggs) and the males will just drift off looking for females in another location. We used to be restricted by the size and the cost of efficient traps, or the fact that they needed electricity or gas canisters to operate. Now at last, we have an affordable, portable and effective trap that will work in any location on the planet.” Says Steven von Kohorn, director of MosquitoFree.

MosquitoFree has been manufacturing and distributing quality mosquito control equipment globally for 14 years and are very proud to announce the impending launch of the new MightyMini.

Utilising the most efficient biting insect attractants and only child, pet and environmentally safe ingredients, the MightyMini can be placed wherever people are enjoying the outdoors to minimise the annoyance and potentially sickening results of bites and viral transmission.

The MightyMini is as efficient as some traps costing $1,000 or more and, at a price of less than $20, no family should be without at least one of these this summer.

Planning a camping trip? Pop it in the back pack. A day at the beach? Drop it into the picnic basket. Small and portable and yet designed on long proven mosquito killing technology, the MightyMini is solar powered and will keep working to protect families in the evenings, nights and early morning when most biting insects are feeding.

Demand for this powerful but affordable trap is expected to be very high in the coming months and to fund the manufacture and rapid release of a large volume of traps, MosquitoFree have partnered with IndieGoGo.com to run a campaign to crowd fund the manufacturing process.

Why Crowd Fund this essential insect control solution?

Crowd funding is the most exciting option available today for early adopters or people who want to support important or worthwhile projects and be among the very first to receive the product or service they have contributed to from the first batch of products released to the public.

Campaign contributions may start as low as $10 and scale up according to what the campaign sponsors want to contribute in return for similar or greater value rewards.

Crowd funding makes it possible for the public to receive the products faster and earlier and also to contribute a little more so that extra MightyMini Traps can be donated to schools, care facilities or other organisations in greatest need in the campaign sponsor’s community that they select.

The sponsored MightyMinis are then sent to the sponsor with their own order and they can deliver the traps directly to the organisation they want to protect. It may be their children’s school, hospital, elderly care home or sports club, it may be a neighbour or elderly aunt, wherever protection from mosquitoes and biting insects is most needed.

It costs so little to receive so much and really help in the battle against disease and discomfort caused by blood feeding insects.

VisitMosquitoFree at http://www.Mosquitofree.Org for more information or go direct to their crowd funding campaign directly at http://bit.ly/1u949Rm to learn more about this potentially life-saving product and the benefits it can bring this summer.

Maryam Rajavi: Economic relations with the Iranian regime should be conditional upon stopping torture and execution

UN Security Council must investigate Ward 350 Evin prison attack and group executions

Call for the release of seven hostages, protection of Liberty and the transfer of residents to the U.S. and Europe

The Iranian regime must be forced to implement NPT's Additional Protocol, accept unannounced inspections, and stop its uranium enrichment and missile programs

In a meeting in the French National Assembly Victor Hugo’s salon, in Paris, with participants from all political groups, Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, emphasized that the expansion and continuation of the international community’s economic relations with the Iranian regime must be conditional upon an end to violation of human rights, and stopping execution and torture. In this meeting that was held at the invitation of the Parliamentary Committee for Democratic Iran, a number of French lawmakers spoke.

Mrs. Rajavi said while violation of human rights in Iran gets a new and deeper dimension every day, the Iranian regime abuses the business and parliamentary trips to Iran to tell the Iranian people and political prisoners that despite torture and execution, the West sides with the mullahs’ regime. “Therefore I ask Parliamentarians and business owners, like many in Europe who cancelled their trips to Iran and did not want to give a Carte blanche to the regime for further crimes, to refuse these invitations.”

President -elect of the Iranian Resistance denounced ignoring the brutal April 17 attack on political prisoners in Evin by Western governments and called for an independent international investigation in this regard.

In this parliamentary meeting, held on the eve of the new round of nuclear negotiations with the mullahs, Mrs. Rajavi stressed that the Iranian regime signed the Geneva agreement simply to reduce international sanctions, but this agreement has only postponed the regime’s program to acquire nuclear bomb. The regime was able to maintain its sites and even to enhance its enrichment capacity. Parallel to that, it continues its ballistic missile program without any worry. To ensure that it can not acquire nuclear bomb, the regime must accept the Additional Protocol and unannounced inspections, and to completely stop its enrichment program and nuclear bomb launcher missile program.

Parliamentarians pointed to the growing repression and executions in Iran and called the notion that Rouhani was a moderate as an illusion. The Members of Parliament stressed that the West's silence about the brutality of the Iranian regime against defenseless prisoners would give them a free hand to repeat these crimes.

French lawmakers asserted that parliamentary or business delegations’ trips to Iran in such circumstances that the Iranian people and the Iranian Resistance need the support of freedom-loving countries send a wrong message to the religious fascism ruling Iran.

According to the evaluation of the members of the French Parliament, Rouhani is part of the totality of the religious dictatorship and his record in all areas including human rights, terrorism and interference in the countries in the region and trying to loosen the sanctions while continuing the regime's nuclear program, is dark. He is an advocate and has been enforcing the policies of Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the clerical regime.

Speakers emphasized that change in Iran is a necessity and support for the organized resistance, and Maryam Rajavi’s ten point plan is the only way to freedom and democracy in Iran.

President-elect of the Iranian resistance congratulated the French President and government for the release of four reporters hostages in Syria and praised the solidarity and unity of the French society and political parties, and called on the French government to play a leading role in protecting the Iranian refugees residing at camp Liberty in Iraq and saving the lives of seven of them, including six women, who were taken hostage in the massacre of September 1, 2013.

She pointed out the dangers threatening the lives of residents of Liberty and called for an independent investigation into the massacre in Ashraf and Liberty by the United Nations, the U.S and Europe, and reiterated the Iraqi government should be forced to meet the security requirements of Liberty.

She said: We demand the immediate transfer of especially patients and injured residents of Liberty to Europe and America.

Some lawmakers in the National Assembly who spoke in this session include: Bruno Leroux, head of the socialist group, André Chassaigne, Chairman of the Left Democrats and Republicans, Gérard Charasse, Dominique Lefebvre, Michel Terrot, Pascal Deguilhem, Catherine Queré, Martine Pinville, Brigitte Allain, Philippe Houillon, Céleste Lett, et Stéphane Saint-André.
