I spoke with both Francine Tremblay and David Schroeder. They are very convincing. For months they corresponded with me and even went so far as to address all of my concerns about the legtimacy of the offer. Watch out!!! I am currently in the process of pursuing further action against HotDeals Canada. I would be interested in hearing from any others with experience with tis company.
