Septic scam or septic savior?

Robin grt is nothing more than dawn dishsoap septic savior is a scam donot ever buy their products they are scumbags

Yup! With the economy weak like it is these sales people are coming out of the woodwork. Let me tell you of our experience with the Septic Savior people. A year ago we received a phone call asking us to purchase their product to prevent septic failure. Our daughter owns the house so we called her and she bought a 5 year supply of treatment. Monday. Aug 28,2011, we had another call from them. Seems that "18 months ago the government", blah blah. Same spiel about Mad Cow disease that others on this site have mentioned. This is the pitch that followed. "Hello mrs. -- my name is ... I'm the District Manager calling directly from the Septic Savior plant." He went on to tell me, "The cost of this new additive retails at $399.99 but the Govt is allowing a $35 rebate. We feel that's not enough so we are knocking off another $75 dollars. You have to act now however because next week we will be going public with our product and the product will only be available through the retail stores at $399.99.after this week."
When I told him our daughter owns the house and she is the one who purchased the 5 year supply of Septic Savior last year, he would have to talk to her. He said, "I'm only allowed one phone call per customer and this is my one phone call. Can you call her on a three way and I can talk with her that way?" I told him I didn't know how to do that with my phone he would have to call her himself. Once again he told me he was only allowed one call. Then he said if I would call her and give the information he would call me back. WHAT? HUH? Didn't he just say he couldn't do that? Okay just another million dollar scam! He did however give me an 800 number with an extention. I never tried it but I wonder...hmm..was that also a scam?
Hang onto your money folks and listen the guys who know about Septic tanks and how to care for them.

Thanks JJ,
You just backed up what I've been telling people for years. This scam works on fear and hype. Fear that your septic system will fail costing you big$ unless you purchase our product and hype that if you don't buy it right now it will cost you more in the future. ALL SCAMS! I'm sorry you learned too late. Tom

Well said, JJWilcox....Thanks for your post.... Milo

Did the "Septic Savior" company send a tech out to check your situation or was it all done over the phone? Wet spots usually indicate a drain field that's not percolating the liquid back into the soil.
I think that you're the only one that shelled out cash to these people tat came away happy and we thank you for your input. Tom PS.
My! But you've a busy little bee haven't you. I see you're using the same post to advertise this product under a different handle, (Charles ) http://www.trustlink.org/Reviews/Sep...-LLC-206026522
While you're heaping praises on this product most of the others complain about the high powered phone tactics selling years of treatment to elderly folks, one who was in a rest home when she purchased this stuff.
Come on Charley, fess up! You've been busted! You really work for this company don't you and this is simply another scam like all the rest? And that makes you a troll

In my opinion, it is a total SCAM! I was originally contacted with this same "pitch" over 3 years ago, bought a supply of the "great product" and began using it. Less than 6 months later, I was again contacted by salespersons from Septic Savior informaing me that hterte had recently been changes in the Federal Regulations restricting the use of animal fats in soaps, etc. The bottom line was that they had a new and improved product that would replace the one that I still had in abundance. Would they give me credit for the unused product? NO WAY! I have received a call from them about every 6 months for the last three years with the same B.S. Trying to sell me their new and improved product.
For those who believe this to be a necessary and great product, how long have you worked for Septic Savior? I have done research on this issue and have gfound that the natural micro-organisms that thrive in the normal waste water are ususually all that is needed for the maintenance of a healthy septic system. If you are putting a lot of solids into the septic tank, then it will have to be pumped on a regualr basis. It should be pumped anyway.
Oh, one of the individuals whom I contacted is the individual who invented several biodegradeable products for commercial use (I used several of them in my occupation before I retired), and he felt that there was no need for septic tank additives if a system was properly maintained -- as he said, If there was this great problem, he would certainly have spent the time and money to develop a product to correct the problem.
Have a nice day. Joe

Septic Savior is the worst kind of scam because it targets the elderly.
Once you've bought their product they're like a Pit Bull. They never let you go. Septic Savior is a scam that employs telemarketeers If you get a call, hang up fast. Regards, Tom
