Don't Buy Any Pool From Blue World Pools!

Having worked for the company and not getting paid for service, I can't believe anyone would buy one of these pools. I only worked one month, but I realized they dont want to sell you a $399.00 pool. If you purchase an upgraded lifetime pool, You will be paying about $30,000.00 in interest payments to the finance company and they will put a second mortgage on your house. Please don't buy any pool from Blue World Pools. I have called everyone of the people which committed to purchase a pool and informed them to cancel their order.

Whoever you are sean, your words are just FLUFF and PUFF, and like your company, a SCAM. I have filed a complaint with BBB and I am getting ready to file with the attorney general because you guys refuse to pay me what is owed.

I have called several times and I am getting is attitude and this needs to be stopped. I hope I am able to prevent others from falling for the same scheme.

Blue World Pools scammed, lied, and stole!

On July 5th, we had a salesmen at our home to consider buying a pool. After 4 hours of deal making we had signed up and put a deposit on a $22,000 pool that was promised to be installed in 2wks. The very next morning, I called to cancel the order. The customer service rep. told me he would send my deposit back to me and there wouldn't be any problems. 4wks later, they call to inform me I can't cancel they were going to put a leen on my house, and make me pay for the pool. After scamming a little more, we thought we couldn't do anything about it. We find out our check was cashed and were guaranteed a pool installed by 8-15, well this morning I get a letter in the mail stating that their lenders are being "picky" and they can't finance a pool at this time. It's 2 months later, the end of summer and we have no pool, we lied to and robbed!BLUE WORLD POOLS IS A JOKE!!!!

Blue World Pools - False Advertising

I called Blue World Pools and they came out to measure the land. I saw their ad on the Tv and it said the econoline pool for $399 so I thought that would be cool. So when he was done measuring he said its good and the yard was perfect and they have a good place to bring it into the yard. He said its gonna cost $800 because its being shipped from Atlanta and I said I have relatives there and they could pick it up and he made up a story saying I can't do that. Next time the commercial came on I looked carefully and it said nothing about the shipping so its false advertising because they are saying that its $399 when its actually $800.

Blue World Criminals

My husband decided to finally let them come to the house after cancelling 5 or 6 times. When the woman came she thought she was coming into the house of victims and she was the thief. She entered the wrong house. My husband and I listened to her little sales pitch. Her pitch included showing us how the $399 pool was such a piece of junk that she would not recommend buying it. She was really trying to make us feel like she was our friend and was trying to get us the best deal. She worked up the numbers which came up to $19,000.00. We told her she had lost our mind. After she spoke with her "people" trying to "get us the best deal possible" because she "liked us" we got to speak to some of their salesman trying to make us pay over $300.00 a month for an abovegorund pool.After speaking on the phone to their last ditch effort salesman, he began to insult us saying that we could pay for this and we were trying to be cheap. By this time they had dropped the price down to $9,000.00 because we were such nice people. My husband told the salesmand what he thought of him and told the salewoman to leave our house. If you have bought from them shame on you for falling for this very ridiculous sales pitch. They were worse than car salesman at a cheap dealership...except they come in to your house. Sams club carries these above ground deluxe metal pools for $2,000.00. If you have fallen for this you might need to get some sort of financial counseling because you are easy prey in the world of hunters.

Help if you want to fight Blue World Pools

I also had Blue World Pools co. pulling my credit report without my permission.

Not only one time but twice in the same week. These people I think can help you. Amy Sams, Financial Investigator from the Attorney Generals Office in Jacksonville, FL 904-348-****. ALSO file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

I did that but they would not take the inquiries off of my report but they do need to know what is going on. The response from Blue World Pools was pretty much the Fair Credit Report act lingo that I feel is just a loop hole for them to hide behind.

After purchasing the pool and trying to refinance our home we found out that we were scammed. Now we will probably loose our home.

I want to get rid of Blue World Pools, but can't seem too. It seems as though they have every loop hole, every detail covered.

I don't want anyone to have to go through what we are going through. We've been duked.

Guest

Oh yeah this company is the biggest pain in the you know what! I had the whole free upgrade thing too.

NO Pool YET!! Since the beginning of July. They tell me they have up to 120 days to install a pool. WHAT?!

I don't think so summer is almost over, I depended on these people and got screwed. I wish I knew about all this bull. I never would of done this. I filed a complaint with the FTC in Georgia and Florida they are both going after them.

If you want to get on board go to www.myfloridalegal.com. I called and found out they have a big suit against them. I'm burning up inside because my kids were doing great in their little cheap pool but I just had to have something nicer and bigger for the whole family. I hope these guys get exactly what they deserve.

Did anyone speak to a guy named Miles in installation? Please contact me everyone needs to band together and bring these guys down.

Don't let them get hold of any new customers. Email your local news stations like I did let them be known for the crooks they are!!

They tried to steal my money!

Approximately 1 1/2 years ago, my wife and I were looking into buying a blue world pool. The same day we called, the salesman showed up with his barrage of sales tactics. Our interest in the cheapest pool was suddenly one of the most expensive pools they had. He kept calling and calling some guy until the deal that THEY wanted was signed. Yes, we fell for it! We ended up giving all of our life information to them, had to give them a copy of our home mortgage and deed, and on top of that, a two hundred dollar check to show "good faith". Well 20 minutes after this salesman left, we started getting this uneasy feeling about the whole thing and googled the company. We found that there were hundreds of complaints, even from former employees on a site that was called the "Bad Business Bureau". Needless to say, we were getting out of that deal. We had 72 hours from the signing of the contract to opt out. But we couldn't get the salesman or the mystery man to answer their phones. The next day I was waiting at the bank door to get the check stopped. Well, since they had all of our information, we had to close our account and create a new one. We finally got in touch with the salesman and told him to tear up the check, and he told us that it was too late, he already mailed it to the office in Arizona. We also had to notify them by letter to opt out. We ended up sending it by certified mail to 3 different addresses they went by. There is only 72 hours to opt out for a reason, right? 2 of the letters returned unsigned for. The same day that we contacted the salesman to cancel our order, the mystery man called over and over to harrass me and get rude saying, " You said you wanted the pool, didn't you?- DIDN'T you?" Over and over he kept on. All I said to him was I was not interested in their product and after he got violent on the phone, I hung up. They also found a way to cash the check we gave them. From our NEW account! We reported them for fraud to the two banks involved and thank God that we got out of the deal with them. Do not do business with Blue World Pools!! They have also changed the name of their company several times.

Yes, everything that is written buy consumers here is true. I worked for them for 2 weeks until I found out how they were treating the customers. They can't keep good employees, that's why it takes so long for them to make/keep the appointments.

They also have a full-time person who's only job is to answer all bad press and internet complaints to make it appear as though they are a legitamate, good company. They buy new website addresses all the time to refute all allogations

and put bogus info on it to make it sound legit. Horrible company with too much money to fail.

They are a terrible company that has already been banned in a number of states, including Georgia, their H.O. location. That should tell you something about their business practices.

They also hide behind a Nevada address that is known to be difficult to access to help you run out of the 3 day cancellation period, so you'll be stuck with the pool and contract.

They sell pools for 6-8 months and then go into the real estate business the rest of the year due to the liens placed on property.

Blue World Pools...Bull!! Glad I researched!

Do not use this company. We had an appointment that they never showed to and when we called they were very unprofessional and rude! The rep named Ron and Janet the "supervisor" laughed at my husband's frustration and then said they may have someone out around 8:30 pm. I looked them up on this site and immediately canceled! Thank Goodness! This company should DEFINATELY be closed for ripping off hard working people! Don't use this company! Scam Scam Scam Scam Scam Scam!!! I strongly suggest you go to a local retailer and not use this bull company

Blueworld pools is a rip off, this site saved me from being scammed!

blueworld pools and their $349 pool is a crock - I read many complaints on this website. Thankfully, I wasn't pulled into their scam. Briefly to sum it up, no rep to my home, the contract states in bold no phone calls , pictures of my land and liability insurance for $300,000 for a pool that I was going to pay cash for!! Don't let this company fool you - it is not accredited through the Better Business Bureau and the BBB has processed 115 complaints against this company! Thankfully, I wasn't pulled in b/c I read many reviews on this website!!

First Equit Card is a fraud. They take your money and then run like cowards.

Don\'t use them.

They get you hooked with a nice credit line, you make your payments on time and they just run you over like a Mac Truck. Burn your card, Call Better Business Bureau.

My husband and I were interested in the $349 pool that was being advertised. We called and set up an appointment and the man who was supposed to come out re-scheduled.

Then he never showed up for the new appointment. My husband called and the guy was extremely rude to him and when he called back the guy never picked up the phone.

Today I started looking for reviews and thank goodness I found this page. For the first time I am thankful someone in customer service was rude to me.

A true scam company. They even scam their own employees.

I worked for Blue World in Florida and Louisania for 2 1/2 Months. Kevin Fisher the national Sales Mgr is a true *** and has no reguard for any one that works for him or that his company sells pools to. Sean Warren the owners son is the guy behind the slick web sites. Seemed like a nice guy but is in on the scam to. They rip off their own salesmen just like they do their customers. A truly predatory type company. Please do what you can to help put them out of business. Call your TV, your Attorny Genneral and FTC.

Blue World Pools Dodging Legal Service

This is an update from May of this year. I was employed by the company and upon quitting them my paycheck had a stop payment issued on it by Mike Warren. Several calls to them about this go unreturned. They refuse to pay me for the hard work I did for them.I have filed legal action in the State of Florida, Pasco County. The registered agent for Florida, Andrew Warren, is dodging the legal summons for service as well as Mike Warren in Atlanta. Why dont they just go ahead and do the right thing and pay what is owed?

Blue world pools wants money before even deciding on what pool you want!!!

The people at blue world pools have lost there minds. I have been trying since october of last year to get a rep. out here from there. Well today they call again and say that they are unable to make, that i will be recieving a packet in the mail. like the other 2 times. So i call, The first lady in finance she was the rudest person, i did not even need to talk to anyone in finance, well long story short. I finally got to talk to a rep his name was ROB. Do you know what he had the nerve to tell me. His exact words were " You have to make blue world pool beleive that you are serious, the only way to do that is to send the money for the pool." DO WHAT!!! No representative has been out here, i haven't even decided on what pool, everyone i speak to has attitudes. Now this wasn't $100 or $500. More like in the thousand. They really are scamming people. What can we do about this??? Does anyone know!!!

If you are considering buying a blue world pool, Don't do it. If you are considering EMPLOYMENT, Don't do it. Here is the *** I am going through right now with them, not to mention the fact that you make NO money after your on the road expenses. They do pay the per diem of $525 per week via western union, but that will not cover your motel, food and gas. They send you all over the place (in training they say they only send you w/in a 100 mile radius and that is total BULL) and you will spend so many hours driving and NO ONE can afford to buy these pools. They are way overpriced.

I hope that you did not take this job or purchase their product. I am currently fighting them for the measly $250 they owe me for the $25 per appointment bonus they promised. What a JOKE! I was told, when I asked them about their employment ad which stated that the average salesman makes between $2500 and $4900 per week which includes per diem, bonuses and commissions, that "OH yeah, SOME people who work for us make that kind of money." I was thinking.. OMG! These people are SUCH liars! The fact that they are even fighting me on such a small amount should tell you how dishonest this company is, by how it treats its employees.

IF ANYONE wants to contact me, please feel free.

No pool installed is that cheap...It is a bait to get the fish in. I have a pool from BWP.

It was $399. Times 43............

Guest

$349 for a POOL? completely installed ready to use.

Only on a ready the area before they arrive. For this price what can you hope to really get out of it all? are you guys looking for GOLD, or at the least Silver? you are looking in the wrong tomb.

Go somewhere else to buy a POOL. TRY YOUR LOCAL "Little Guy" small business could really use your MONEY and support.

for the good of the USA we all need to stop going where every seems wayy to good to be true. we need to revert back to the good ole days and go to the stores down the road or in our local towns for everything we need.

Guest

The reason they will not send out a representative to your house is because you have BAD CREDIT. They will not send out a representative if they feel that you cannot get financed for the $15,000 pool.

Nothing personal that is how they beat the Bait and Switch... they mail you the package, thus giving you the opportunity of purchasing the least expensive pool. If you don't believe me google "Blue World Pools Jobs" and you will see that they are promising Pre-approved leads to their representatives. I suggest that you call your state Attorney General.

I know that they are VERY INTERESTED in talking to consumers in their state encontered this problem. They are being investigated by various agencies, but they need your help.

BWP no show 3rd time, lost time at work again

Blue World Pools SCAM Three times i've set up apts for site inspection, three times i took time off work to be on site, three times BWP was a no show, If you want to buy a new pool go to another company. Blue world pools must be in business to make phone calls only. Blue World Pools only response to this problem is: Would you like to setup another appointment. NOOOO !!! Your company has cost me money already and i've never seen a BWP rep. To all interested in Blue World Pools BEWARE, Dont waste your time.

Blue World Pools stopped payment on my paycheck

Blue World Pools stopped payment on my paycheck. I provided them with the proper 7 days notice and my final paycheck of only $1498.55 was returned to my bank unpaid. I have called and left messages for Sean Warren, Mike Warren, Kevin Fisher. These are the owners and top management that would take care of this issues as well as issue the stop payment. Kevin Fisher does the payroll. Mike Warren as well as another individual signs the checks. Each time I call I am placed on hold by the girl that answers the phone. She then returns to me and informs me that they are either in a meeting or are not in the office. I did file a compalint on this site a few days ago detailing thier operation. Again I would like to extend a request to a lawyer that might be interrested in going after these people to please contact me. This website will provide you with my personal contact information.

Good Job Kim.... saw the interview on the internet Ft Smith TV.

Unfortunately when you do a search on this company, the Ft Smith and the Jacksonville TV Investigative reports are located on the 6th page. You see Eric Will who works for BWP is doing blogs to place the bad info on the last pages, so that customers can't find them

Guest

Contact Paul Davis at the Federal Trade Commission Atlanta Office.. he will help you...

You can also contact the Georgia Consumer Protection Agency.

They will also guide you. If you are interested in an Attorney that specializes in Class action Lawsuits and is aware of this company you can contact the Law Firm of Butler, Wooten & Fryhofer in Columbus Georgia

Guest

We are not ridiculous, you may have rec'd your pool, and that is questionable but we as sales people are not paid. You as a consumer, if you really are can buy the same thing from a local pool company for thousands less, not to mention at a lot less than 24.9% interest.

BWP is a joke and all I can tell you is my experience with them has been less than favorable. They are a company that preys on people with low credit scores and runs credit reports without you knowing it.

There are a lot of states that have interest state caps and I wonder if they are violating those?????? Read your contract buddy I hope you don't loose your job and they take your home like they have many of others!!!!!

Guest

you all are ridiculous....

i got their pool a couple years ago and we love it...

Guest

I also worked for this company and agree w/everything here. I had the same problems with them, I contacted the Attorney General in my state and the local tv station running their ads.

They aired an interview with me tonight and pulled their ads. Good luck I have not rec'd my money either.

Blue world pools

Thank you for informing about the blue world pools. I now can tell them to leave me alone if they come to my house and do their free ground inspection of my back yard for the $349 above ground pool. They have not set it up yet with me, but plan to call and set it up soon. If and when they call, I will inform them to leave me alone, and that I am not interested in their pool. I have read alot of complaints and these are very bad people... Good Luck, and I hope you find others who can help sue their butts off! Brenda

:sigh wow im glad i read these reviews before they came. i scheduled a free estimate. i WILL cancel in the morning!

Guest

Sparkle Diamond.. you can still get out of their scam.

If they did not advise you that you had 3 days to cancel, or hid the cancellation form in an envelope (2 of their MOs) , then you were not given proper cancellation notice. Call your attorney general (free call) and show them the forms

I wish I could have found these reviews before I was sucked into their scam!!!!!!
