Insurance Fraud - Take legal action, links included
Posted by
BOCA RATON, FLORIDA -- The previous reviewers are absolutely correct in their claims against NCOA (www.joinncoa.net). I had purchased my plan through Letstalk.com and had only wished I'd known what sort of insurance I was purchasing, or had seen these reviews in advance. I filed a claim over 3 weeks ago and have received few details regarding the phone I seemingly sent to the great beyond. This is well beyond their advertised claim of an average turnover time of 5 days. Customer response/service has been non-existent, as I've left over a dozen voicemails or have been told an "accounts manager" would be returning my call. I've received numerous false dates regarding when I would be receiving my phone, and finally took it upon myself to call and deal with the outsourced cell phone providers to get any information. Dealing with them has been an absolute nightmare, and we have to take action against this blatant insurance fraud. First, if they have your phone, try contacting them at the numbers below. Do not bother with the 1 800 number as it will always direct you to a voicemail message and they will never respond to your calls.
1(561) 470-1223
or try 1(561) 470-1273, 1(866) 654-5590
The "supervisor's" extension is 231, but I've never gotten through.
Also try calling the outsourced agent if you sent your phone in for repairs (Wireless Revival, for example). Their number appears on the RFS info sheet you sent with your phone.
Next, if you have been wronged by them, as clearly others have been on this website, we need to act. After (or if) I ever receive my phone I will be filing taking action. Please join me.
First, file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. The company is located in Florida (mailing address below). FYI, there are over 155 claims against them through the BBB in the last 36 months alone.
Next, Florida has an official Division of Insurance Fraud which accepts claims and investigates them. This is the real legal recourse as the BBB holds no true power.
Finally, call whomever sold you the policy and urge them to stop selling NCOA policies. Threaten to include them on these reports to the Division of Insurance Fraud and the BBB, or see if there is a similar Division in the base state for your cell phone company.
Take action now! Let's shut them down. And did I mention the Division of Insurance Fraud offers Rewards?

"I had purchased my plan" Why? Just like Nancy Reagan's old motto "Just say No" I couldn't find any information about this company so, if you feel so strongly about then go here and see if you can get a remedy.
rdood on 06/23/2006:
The national insurance crime bureau is another organization to report NCOA to.
Also, I did some digging on the Florida business registry and found some more information on the owners. Use their information when filing reports, and feel free to give them calls or send them mail with your issues, as I'm sure any non-fraudulent business owner would want to be aware of so many dissatisfied customers. :-)

False Advertising
Posted on
CARROLLTON, TEXAS -- When I bought my cell phone, I decided that insurance for the phone would be a good idea. Now, in my mind, insurance usually means, I don't have to be Extra careful. It means, that mistakes are allowed and accidents can happen, and the insurance company will help me take care of them. On May 1, 2001 I went to visit someone. I parked my car in the driveway in the person's alley, and went inside. Unfortunately, I left my cell phone in the car. It was a hot summer day, and absent-mindedly, I left my window down as well. So, while I was inside, the person I was visiting, got a phone call from my cell phone. Now, when they told me, I realized something fishy was going on, since my cell phone was in the car. So, I ran out to my car to check, and found that my cell phone was missing. It was gone, just like that. I had only been inside for a few minutes. So, immediately, I called the insurance company and told it what happened. It told me I needed to get a police report before they took any action. So, I called the police, and got a report. I called the insurance company again and let it know, and checked up on the status of my case. Repeatedly, over and over, I called the insurance company wanting to know what they were doing about the situation. In the beginning, they gave me the run around-they put me on hold constantly, they switched the phone from one person to another, and used other tactics to get me off their back. Finally, after several weeks of phone calls, they decide to tell me that they aren't going to do anything about it and that I can't get a replacement phone. The reason they gave me was that I was should not have left the windows down, so as a result of my 'carelessness' they will not do anything to take care of the problem. In my opinion, this is an outrage. An insurance company exists so that the person has backup when faced with a problem. Unfortunately, in this situation, I had to insure myself first, then turn to the insurance. If I knew I had to always be extra careful, and not have my cell phone stolen, why would I get insurance? There would be no use for it. To call this an insurance company, and not provide the customer with any insurance, is False Advertising.
To help keep me as a potential future customer, I would like the following:
I would like to know that as an insurance company, you will do your job as you are supposed to. When something like this happens, I expect that I am not held responsible for it. As a result, I am entitled, to a free replacement for my cell phone of equal value.
At the very least I would like a response from your company regarding this incident.

I agree with you! What if on a hot day I leave my window open at my house while I run across the street to see my neighbor. If someone climbs in and steals from me, I would expect my home owners insurance to cover it! The fact is you had something stolen, you did not lose it, it was stolen. The insurance company should cover it. If they don't, I would check with your home owners insurance, they sometimes cover stuff like that! Good luck.

NCOA insurance FRAUD
Posted by
SALINAS, CALIFORNIA -- Several Months ago my wife and I purchased phones and insurance (NCOA) through Wirefly. My phone was damaged and was no longer working. I contacted NCOA through their website and was give an "NCOA Reapair Approval Letter". I shipped my phone Priority Mail on 5/24/06. After several attempts to check the status of repair on the NCOA web site I emailed their support dept. I did not receive a response, so, I emailed them again. Of course, I did not get a response. I have placed two phone calls leaving my contact information and...no response.
Where is my phone?!?!?!?
I have found several complaints on "my 3 cents" as well as other web sites. Anyone filed a lawsuit yet? Monday (6/12) I will check with the post office to confirm delivery of the phone. After words I am filing a complaint with the attorney General.

Hey! Its California dude what do you expect? Things are done at a pace where, well "who cares" that is the attitude and if you contact the attorney General you will get the same response. It is cheaper for them to give you new phone then repair one but that would make to much sense to them. That is my experience with everything to do with business in California. You would have a better chance of getting a hold of A.S. then the attorney general. Good Luck

Same thing is happenning to me. I've posted a review on my 3cents with what to do, and contact numbers. You're going to have to hound them to get any info.

big f on 03/02/2007:
I wish I knew this was a scam, everything I have read that people have wrote is true. I bought my god childs phone from Wirefly, so I called them to imform them that they are letting a scamer insure their phones, they didn't seem to care. if anyone knows about a lawsuit, let me know.

I've never quite understood the whole cell phone insurance business... How much does something like this cost anyway?
Roger B on 05/19/2007:
I am not sure why so many are dissatisfied with the company. They do not provide insurance to your phone if you can not show proof that it was robbed from you from a secure location. I.E. Breaking into your locked car or home. I can only vouch for the great service that the company provided to me. I Have a blackjack which was stolen out of my locked car last week. Someone forced entry into the vehicle via bending and jacking my lock. After reporting my phone stolen to police I then contacted the insurance. They responded back to me in a day, and requested a copy of my police report, I forwarded them a copy and two days later my claim examiner got in contact with me and issued me a check for $300 since my phone is worth more than what my insurance covers. This is fine with me since I can choose a new phone of my liking. If your phone just disappears out of your own carelessness this is not the insurance for you, but if your phone breaks, stops working or was stolen from your person or secured location they will take care of you 100 percent.

I know this is a cycling forum, I'm only posting this as the traffic copper I came across was firmly of the opinion that cyclists are also not allowed to do what I did this morning. Nice to be able to educate a traffic copper on traffic regulations, sad that I had to though.
Well today I got pulled over in traffic on the moto. In a way I knew I was waving a red flag and would be pulled over, but nothing like making a point about what you are doing when you are doing nothing illegal.
Basically the scenario happened here (click link). I had just turned left from Buckland Road onto Sandgate Road (scroll up the map). There were cars in each lane at least 2 to 3 deep. In the left lane (right of map picture), there was a car and a traffic motorcycle copper. I rolled slowly past him and the stationary vehicles in the second lane from the left (lane next to him) to the left of the vehicles in that lane, ensuring I did not cross the solid white lane dividing line, or stepping over it and also ensuring I stopped behind the stop line.
As I stopped, I saw him pull in behind me, beep his horn and tell me he wanted me to pull over. I nodded that I had heard. I took off from the lights ahead of the traffic and pulled into the shopping centre car park, found a safe place to stop and dismounted, whereupon we had a 20 minute discussion. I saw him start his voice recorder, so I made it obvious that I had started mine as well (entirely legal in Qld and does not need consent of the other party).
He explained to me that he thought what I had done was illegal and unsafe and that it would be a ticket of $154 and 2 points. He said overtaking cars stationary or otherwise was dangerous, he tried to trap me into saying it was filtering, I did not agree to that, I constantly referred to it as overtaking as that was what was in the traffic regulations. He said filtering was slang for it, but I insisted that I was overtaking as defined in the regulations. I respectfully disagreed with him and his interpretation of what I did. I told him that I had done my research and that it was my opinion both legal and safe to do what I had done.
He then said why should I be able to ride past him while he is sitting in traffic. I simply said I cannot answer for why other people do what they do they make their choices.
He then said what if an occupant opened their door. I said well then they would be charged with an offence as it is an offence to open a car door and endanger other road users. He then said but why not avoid it, to which I replied if I took that approach I would never leave home as it is too dangerous. Trying to avoid every hazard in life would be ludicrous. I said I can only do so much before other people have to take responsibilities for their actions, I cannot think for others and be responsible for what they do. He also at various times said he has to attend accidents involving moto riders and it would be nice if it didn't happen. I just didn't buy into that discussion, it had nothing to do with what I did so was basically unresponsive to his comments.
He asked me why I thought it was legal and then I offered to show him the regulations and explain my interpretation. I had to stop the voice recorder (he didn't know that) to open the copy of the Traffic Regulations I keep on my phone for just such an occasion. Yeah people have laughed at me and scoffed at it, but I guess I'm laughing right back now based on the result of today. I will however now use the iPod instead for the regulations as it is easier to navigate the document on it than the phone. The phone will then remain as my voice recorder.
He had the section number (S140) based on the offence he was going to ticket me with, so I scrolled down (I have quoted S140, S141 and S142 for completeness below for reference). And we discussed S140 at length (5 minutes or more), whereupon he was still going to write out a ticket. I then asked him to continue reading and to read S141. After a discussion of S141, he conceded without actually saying so that I had done nothing wrong. It was at this stage that his version of events began to change. Now he had apparently only just come to a stop when I was approaching and the cars were moving as I passed them. This was not true as there were at least 2 to 3 cars stopped behind him. Besides which I only overtake stationary vehicles (in 1st gear with engine revving loudly) as this prevents them from being able to move sideways into me and enables them to hear me approaching.
The upshot of this adventure was that I did not get a ticket. And I did not get a ticket for two basic reasons. One, I had been able to clearly articulate why I thought what I had done was not wrong and was able to provide him with clear, precise and reasoned points that my interpretation of the regulations was correct (not just his interpretation of S140), he was not able to counter the provisions of S141, except to change his version of what had happened. Two, I was not rude at all, I just simply wanted him to understand that I had a sound basis for what I was doing and that what I was doing was based on a clear assessment of the environment, the variables and factors surrounding me. I think he also realised I would contest the ticket if he wrote it, something he would want to avoid as that is just a day of his time in court not doing his job on the road.
He asked if I had ever had an accident or been injured on the bike to which I replied no in years of on and off riding as I go to great lengths to ensure my own safety. I do advanced rider courses and practise the skills I learn to make sure I'm on top of my game. I also showed him the "S.E.E"* sticker on my dashboard to remind me to be constantly vigilant and also the "Conquer Cancer" slogan, "Stay Alert, Stay Alive" that is on my GPS unit.
He said that I had gone above and beyond what most motorcycle riders would do in that I had taken the time to research and read the traffic regulations. He was impressed, appreciated my candour and my willingness to discuss the matter rationally instead of rolling out a line of well I see other riders doing and I was told it was okay to do it.
He was quite critical of some of the motorcycle training schools who tell their students its okay without any basis for it. I informed him that I chose/choose my riding instructor(s) carefully as I wanted someone who is/was serious about motorcycling and safety.
So where to from here. Well just in case he decided to follow me I did not filter again this morning, no point poking the bear. But I will be waiting with bated breath for my Contour HD to arrive this week. Next time I want video evidence that bears out my version of events particularly if I ever need to go to court, because next time I may not have a traffic cop that is as reasonable. DVRs on my bicycle were a god send** and will be on the moto too I'm sure. It sucks that you may have to record your riding to show you did nothing wrong, but I consider the investment in a good DVR setup to be invaluable.
What advice can I give to others? Know your road rules, the information below is extracted from the Queensland Traffic Regulations which are loosely based on the national version (which are a suggestion for national acceptance/compliance and not actual laws or regulations). For instance I know WA has a set of traffic regulations that is nothing like the national version. Be polite, you never know your luck. I personally have an intense dislike for the police in general over matters that have happened to me and my family in the past, but that doesn't mean they are all bad, but they do have to earn respect quickly, if they start out aggressive they will get it in kind in return. Most of all don't ride like a dick. What I did this morning I did safely and in complete control, so I could claim what I did was safe and that I was in complete control. If you ride erratically, then it can be claimed you're riding in an unsafe manner and you only have yourself to blame.
Thanks for reading if you got this far.

Illustration by N. John Schmitt
A common hawk of wet deciduous woodlands, they are the noisiest of the buteos, especially during spring courtship. A perch-hunter of the forest understory, it feeds on frogs, snakes, lizards, and small mammals. Females are larger than males, sexes similar in appearance, juveniles differ from adults. Polytypic. Length 15–19" (38–48 cm); wingspan 37–42" (94–107 cm).
Identification A medium-size buteo with rounded wing tips that do not reach the tip of the tail. Adult: brown above with lighter feather edges and some streaking on head. Rufous on the upperwing coverts gives the "red shoulders." The primaries are barred or checkered black and white, the dark tail has 3 white bands. Underparts are rufous with white barring. Juvenile: mostly brown above, with less rufous on the shoulders than an adult. Undersides are buffy with variable dark streaks, the brown tail has multiple narrow bands. Flight: all ages show a distinct light crescent at the base of the primaries. Soars on flat wings held forward, glides with wings cupped, giving a "hunched" appearance. Wingbeats are quick and shallow, interspersed with quick glides.
Geographic Variation Eastern (lineatus) as above, with adult showing dark streaks on breast. Juvenile tail from below is light with dark bands. Southeastern (alleni) and Texas (texanus) are very similar to each other, with adults showing no dark streaks on breast; texanus is slightly brighter rufous. Juveniles have darker underside of tail, heavier markings on underparts. South Florida (extimus) is the palest subspecies. Adults are pale gray above, pale rufous underneath, with the head appearing light at a distance. Juveniles are less rufous, have thinner streaking underneath. California (elegans) is the brightest subspecies, with juveniles appearing more like adults. Adults have unbarred rufous on the breast, wider tail bands. Juveniles have similar upperwings to the adult, with the most rufous on the shoulders of any subspecies, and a white crescent on the primaries. Underparts are barred rufous and buffy. The dark tail shows whitish bands.
Similar Species Broad-winged hawk adult has rufous on breast, but no barring on primaries, only 1 or 2 tail bands, in flight shows more pointed wings. Juveniles are similar, but red-shouldered shows 3 bands on the folded secondaries; broad-winged lacks the pale crescent at the base of the primaries. Juvenile Northern Harrier is rufous underneath, but long tail, thin wings, and flight style are very different. Juvenile northern goshawk perched has heavy streaking underneath and a long tail, but dark-banded tail pattern and shorter wings will help the identification process.
Voice A loud, repeated kee-ahh, often in groups of 8–10 repetitions.
Status and Distribution A widespread breeder throughout East, into southern Canada. Found throughout the South, into eastern and southern Texas. California subspecies is coastal and in the Central Valley, up into Oregon and southern Washington. Breeding: nests in deciduous woodlands, usually river bottoms, near lakes or swamps. Coexists in similar habitat with the barred owl. Migration: northern birds migrate to southern states and into Mexico. Southern forms are nonmigratory. Vagrant: there are records of eastern birds west to Colorado, and California birds wander casually to Arizona, Idaho, and New Mexico.
Population Stable, as far as is known.

Finding Your Inner Mama$22.50
The Creative Family$23.98
Momma Zen: Walking the Crooked Path of Motherhood.
Combining humor, honesty, and plainspoken advice, Momma Zen distills the doubts and frustrations of parenting into vignettes of Zen wisdom.
In her gentle and reassuring voice, Karen Miller convinces us that ancient and authentic spiritual lessons can be as familiar as a lullaby, as ordinary as pureed peas, and as frequent as a sleepless night. She offers encouragement for the hard days, consolation for the long haul, and the lightheartedness every new mom needs to face the crooked path of motherhood straight on.
Drawing on her experience as a first-time mother, and on her years of Zen meditation and study, Miller explores how the daily challenges of parenthood can become the most profound spiritual journey of our lives.
This compelling and wise memoir follows the timeline of early motherhood from pregnancy through toddlerhood. Momma Zen takes readers on a transformative journey, charting a mother's growth beyond naive expectations and disorientation to finding fulfillment in ordinary tasks, developing greater self-awareness and acceptance—to the gradual discovery of "maternal bliss," a state of abiding happiness and ease that is available to us all.
A wonderful pregnancy gift for any expecting mother, the book Momma Zen makes a unique shower gift.
Written by Karen Maezen Miller.
Paperback. 192 pages.

ShowScoop allows app users to review bands
WTOP's Tim Bracken reports.
Tim Bracken, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - When it comes to keeping track of concerts, there are plenty of websites and smartphone apps, most notably Bandsintown.
But a new app on the scene aims to do for concerts what Yelp does for restaurants, bars and nightclubs.
Called ShowScoop, it lets users review individual performances so that others can decide whether to shell out money for a concert ticket.
ShowScoop developer Micah Smurthwaite came up with the idea while planning a trip to the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, Calif.
"I was familiar with about 20 percent of the artists," Smurthwaite tells WTOP in an email.
"I watched YouTube videos and read concert reviews on blogs to figure out which bands put on the best shows. It was a lot of work. There wasn't anything that tapped into the wisdom of crowds using quantitative reviews."
The free app allows users to search for bands and read reviews of concerts. Bands are rated for stage presence, crowd interaction, sound quality and visual effects - all on a five-point scale.
Users also can write a detailed review and upload photos from the concert. Reviews can then be shared via Facebook and Twitter. The app itself can be integrated into the user's Facebook account.
Smurthwaite says he is happy with user feedback, and emphasizes that the app will improve based on users' suggestions.
"Some people are interested in geo-locating other users," he says.
"Being able to see other ShowScoop users that are at the concert and meeting up, that is something we are thinking about for version 2.0."
Another feature missing from the app is a way to track where specific bands will be performing.
ShowScoop is currently available only for iPhones, but an Android version is in the works.
See how ShowScoop works:

Batting Statistics
|When a player reaches second on a batted ball
|When a player reaches thirs on a batted ball
|At Bats
|A plate appearance that results in a ball put in play (without a sacrifice) or a strikeout. All other plate appearance results are not counted as an at bat.
|Batting Average
|Formula: {h/ab}. Used to measure the percentage of time (3 decimal places) that a player reaches base on a batted ball against times that he had the opportunity to put the ball in play. A batting average of .300 is considered very good.
|Batting Average on Balls put In Play
|Formula: { (h-hr)/(ab-so-hr+sf) }. A player's ability to get a hit on balls put in play. For batters, can be used to measure a hitter's skill on how hard he hits the ball and his placement.
|The number (or %) of balls incurred by the batter.
|Base on balls/Walks
|Each instance of a player reaching base by receiving 4 pitches balls whether intentional or unintentional.
|Formula: { bb/pa }. How many times a player walks per 100 plate appearances.
|Walks per strikeout
|Formula: { bb/so }. A ratio that compares the number of walks to strikeouts for a batter with the intention to see if a player has more positive non-contact at bats compared to negative.
|Baserunning Outs
|Thrown out on basepaths by trying for an extra base or for other reason. Does not include being forced-out at a base or caught stealings.
|Caught Stealing
|When a player attempting to steal a base is thrown out by the catcher or pitcher.
|1st to 3rd on a Double
|Number of times, as a runner, that the player has advanced from 1st to 3rd on a double.
|Scored from 1st on a Double
|Number of times, as a runner, that the player has scored from 1st on a double.
|At bats resulting in a fly ball, regardless of result. Line drives, fly balls and popups are all considered flyballs for the purpose of this category.
|Force outs or Fielders Choice
|Batter's at bat resulted in a runner other than himself being thrown out at a base. The batter is deemed to have reached base only becauase the fielder elected to throw out a different runner and not the batter and is therefore not awarded a hit.
|At bats resulting in a ground ball, regardless of result.
|Groundball/flyball ratio
|Formula: { groundballs/flyballs }. Indicates how many groundballs to flyballs a player hits. A value of 2.0 would indicate that a player hits 2 groundballs for every flyball.
|Grounded into double play
|A ground ball hit by batter that results in the defense recording 2 outs. If a runner scores, the batter is not awarded a run batted in.
|Games Started
|# of times a player was included in the team's starting lineup.
|Each time a player reaches base without the result being an error or a forceout. Singles + Doubles + triples + Homers.
|Hit by Pitch
|A batter is considered hit by a pitch when a pitched ball hits his body or equipment and the umpire has deemed that it was not intentional.

|Isolated Power
|Formula: { slg-avg }. Tries to measure a player's raw power by removing singles from consideration.
|Multiple Home Run Games
|Games with two or more homers.
|On Base Percentage
|Formula: { (h+bb+hbp)/(ab+bb+hbp+sf) }. The percentage of all plate appearances (minus sacrifice hits) where a player has reached base. Whereas batting average ignores walks and hit by pitch as positive batting events, OBP uses all instances of a batter reaching base to provide a different view of a player's effectiveness. An obp of .360 is considered good.
|On base Plus Slugging
|Formula: { obp+slg }. A measure that tries to take into account every baseball event and rate a player's true value to his team offensively. An OPS of 820 would be considered good.
|Batting Outs
|Each time a player's at bat results in an out on the basepaths whereby the player did not earn a hit.

|Runs batted in
|An RBI is awarded for each runner batted in by the batter (including himself) in his at bat. An RBI is awarded for outs but not for double play groundouts.
|Runs Created
|Formula used on TBC: Part A {H+BB-CS+HBP-GDP) Part B { (1.125xSingles)+(1.69*doubles)+(3.02*Triples)+(3.73*Homers)+(.29*(BB-IBB+HBP))+(.492*(SH+SF+SB))-(.04*so) } Part C { AB+BB+HBP+SH+SF). Complete Formula using A,B,C is { (((2.4c+A)(3c+B))/9c )-.9c. This algorithm is intended to measure the number of runs a player has created in his at bats and is intended to be a better measure of his offensive contribution.
|Runs Created per game
|Formula: { rc/(outs/27) }. Designed to determine the number of runs a team would score with only this player in the lineup. Allows for easier comparison between players.
|Reached on error
|Batter reached base as the result of an error and not a hit.
|1st to 2nd on a single

|Grand Slams
|Home runs with the bases loaded (runner on every base).
|Slugging Percentage
|Formula: { tb/ab }. A measure of a player's power or their ability to produce bases. Batting average and On Base Percentage count all hits equally while slugging percentage considers hits with more bases earned as more valuable then lesser hits. A slugging of .450 would be considered good.
|A player ruled out after swinging and missing (or tipping) strike 3 or taking strike 3.

|Fielding Percentage
|Formula: { (PO+A)/(PO+A+E) }. A basic formula that explains the percent of success on fieldable balls.

|Range Factor per 9 innings
|Formula: { (9/inn)*(PO+A). Determines the number of plays made at a position per 9 innings thus allowing for comparison between fielders of the same position with an equal denominator. The range factor is intended to determine a player's range at a position compared to his peers but there are other factors that might contribute to a high range factor such as opportunity. A team facing more left-handed batters will have more opportunity for the right side of the infield.
|Total Chances
|Formula: { PO + A + E }. All possible chances in the field not including balls that a player could not reach.
