In my Mom's 55+ retirement community (she's 85) in Mesa there are several senior citizens who have been conned and pressured into buying, in my mom's case, $52,000+ electronic organs and keyboards.
A lot of these people can barely play 4 songs...
Fletcher Music starts you off with a little keyboard/organ and keep telling you that you need more. "We'll buy your "old" keyboard and you can upgrade to this new (more expensive) one." They talk fast and shove papers to be signed in front of people while telling them that they need to upgrade or else they'll never get better! And they keep you on the same payment plan without making it clear that you'll be making payments for longer than you originally signed up for.
Mom finally did the math and realized she'd been conned.
They then clean up the used keyboard and sell it for NEW!!!
Taking advantage of the elderly is disgusting and these people should be run out of town.
My mom has since passed, leaving us with a $30,000 boat anchor that Fletcher won't buy back and literally no one wants. We had a hard time even giving it away and it was only three years old and barely used!
Scum of the earth taking advantage of the elderly. But that IS their business model. read more
