I gave you my phone number and, luckily for me, it has call display.

These people have been calling me TWICE A DAY, trying to get in touch with me (I'm the poster from 17 April).  I don't want the prize and I don't want your high pressure sales tactics.

Please, for the love of God, STOP CALLING ME!

I WILL NOT PICK UP!

I received a call yesterday regarding a brief air quality survey I completed a while ago and was advised that I had won the daily prize.  Anyhow, I selected the prize and was advised that a brief air quality demo would be provided when the prize was handed over.  I was reluctant, but thought - what the hell, I can listen to someone pitch their product for a few minutes.  I received a call from some guy (Shawn - I believe) to confirm our appointment and he asked if 'both' parties would be home for the demo.  I advised that it would just be me and he told me that both parties must be present for the demo.  I replied that it wasn't possible and he said that the demo would not happen.  Upon asking for his manager, he said that he was the manager and there wasn't anyone else that I could speak with.  Based on his voice, I could tell that I had ticked him off.  I then asked for the contact details for the woman whom I spoke previously, and was told that I was wasting his time and he hung up on me.Seriously!If this is a reputable company, they would not be treating people in this manner.  I have to laugh out loud at all the posted 'employee' representatives of HEI boasting how reputable the company is when they treat their potential clients in this manner.  Additionally, the degrading responses from the HEI 'employee' representatives posted on here and based on my personal experience really conveys what a joke this organization actually is.I am not normally someone who would post something like this, but I have to admit that this experience motivated me to speak out.

I know someone who works for them. Its not a scam you do get your prize and you dont have to buy the product they tell you that on the phone. Remember when people from Avon (make up company) would knock door to door selling make up. So its not a scam you do recieve your prize.Who cares if you sit there through a demo you get a free gift at the end. The girls that phone are really nice and the sales people are all different so your going to get some high pressure ones or your going to get some straight forward people. I do not agree with the products being so expensive but IT DOES WORK!!! A scam is when something doesnt work or you dont recieve the prize you get the prize and the products work really well. SO HOW IS THIS A SCAM??? theres not credit card information taken its just you adress to get your prize out to you and your husband or wifes first names so when they come to your door they can ask for the RIGHT person.

Same Story

I got a phone call to take a survey and did so.  Then was called a few days later saying I had won a prize and they would like to deliver it and give a short demo.  I was alright with this and when the sales agent arrived I met him in the lobby of my apartment building and said go ahead and give the demo.  I explained that for security reasons I do not let strangers into my home but would listen to his pitch in the lobby.  He wanted them to come up to my apartment to phone his manager using my phone.  I had him write down the number and when I spoke to his "manager" and explained the situation the comments from the manager I got were very high pressured and along the lines of "what do you think is going to happen to you, he is harmless and of course the classic - what is your problem."  I reiterated that I was happy to see the demo in the lobby.  Then he wanted to have his salesperson come up to my apartment to use the phone.  I said I am sure he has a cell phone.  After that the "manager" swore at me and hung up.

When I went back downstairs to speak with the sales person he was gone.  This was such a waste of their time and mine.  This is not how someone runs a reputable business.

Someone came to our door doing an air quality survey, which took a few seconds so we did it and thought that was it. A week or so later "Healthtek Ent" started calling our land line (we don't answer numbers we don't recognize and the person for the survey never mentioned this company name). They called 16 time!! Finally I picked up and when asked why they had called so many times and never left a message she said "oh we figured nobody was home so we kept trying" and I said we didn't answer numbers we don't recognize. She then says "well I always answer the phone when it rings" in a snarky tone (good for you smarty pants). She tells me we have won a daily prize draw and give me 2 options. I ask her if we have to do anything to claim the prize and she says "oh no it's free". After deciding on a time she tells me that when the person comes they will have a product to show me and they hope that I will tell my friends about it. I said forget the gift I'm not interested if I have to listen to a product demonstration and then SHE HUNG UP ON ME!SO frustrating that they called 16 times and then this crap!
