I started to finance a computer with them and then stopped the eft through my bank and was given a store credit. I then paid the additional money needed in the form of a money order and placed the order for my computer,that I never recieved! I called the company several times and was told a lie every time. The company has taken me for a total of $719.94. I hope I will get my money back some how.

What a rip off! I have seen their ads running in 2007, when I was still in Seattle. Their ads claimed that you qualified for a brand new computer and printer which would cost no more than $450 dollars and when I checked their site, the computer and printer where valued at almost $2000 dollars. Is it because they where assessing interest over the real value of the computer and printer. Then I did a Google search on the company to find out it was already being reported to the Better Business Bureau and other consumer protection agencies. Yet, they where given a cease and desist and to this day, the Blue Hippo ads are still shown, mostly in the Hispanic channels like Univision to name a few.

I always thought this company was a scam. But if you have an ad on TV you must be bonded. But some simple Math would tell anyone this would be a heinously expensive system. Definitely not equal to the junk they show you in their ads. $35 a week for a year comes to $1820 in one year for the junk that’s not even worth half that. But does it even end at $1820. Me thinks not. I”m not the one to be testing out their bond but if this post prevents even one for going for this scam it will be worth it. But there is a new one out there S.O.S. different name. That’s what they do. They set up shop under a different name even flagrantly using the same players as the previous scam.
