They cost my 16 year old son $500 and then acted like I was bothering them when trying to work out an acceptable remedy. They didn’t do anything, not even apologize. He had worked 6 months to save that money and I took a half day off work to personally deposit the money so that he could make his trade. They didn’t fund his account and his trade didn’t go through. They didn’t even send an email or anything and when asked, they said that even though the told me a money order was acceptable form of deposit, it was in fact NOT so they just didn’t place his trade for over a week. Not until I took another half day off work to go 55 miles back to their office where I was promptly dismissed so that they could spend the rest of their day chatting with each other. If you want unreliable service, people who do not care about your account or your future relationship with them, then by all means give Scott Trade all your money. They couldn’t be more condescending, less interested in helping resolve a situation or even fain an apology at the inconvenience and disappointment that they caused a hard working teen who was SO looking forward to a long term relationship with Scott trade. He did learn a valuable (though expensive) lesson in how NOT to treat customers.Vicki Dickinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03042853326427885789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088893.post-46304067781986317052008-08-29T09:06:00.000-04:002008-08-29T09:06:00.000-04:00Hi!

I learned it from this great site www.pissedconsumer.com. <A HREF="http://etrade.pissedconsumer.com" REL="nofollow">Etrade</A> specializes in different financial services: trading and investing, retirement, banking and credit cards, planning, mortgage and home equity. Company's major business is on-line discount stock brokerage service, which I unfortunately decided to get engaged with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088893.post-22469764745644751712008-04-18T13:22:00.000-04:002008-04-18T13:22:00.000-04:00I have nothing more to add than another voice in t...I have nothing more to add than another voice in the "I HATE E-TRADE" group.
