This article was neither helpful nor unhelpful but simply praise of a man that I had great respect for until I was scammed by one of the products that he is advertising on tv....I went to the official web site of lint b gone and ordered (2) sets of the brushes, from the confusing web site I understood that the 1st set of brushes was $10.00 + $7.95 shipping/handling, the second set I thought would be shipping/handling only which should have been $7.95. I ordered the upgrade to industrial which was according to my understanding $2.99 per set. I decided that I wanted the rush shipping which was to be $5.95. After ordering I received and e-mail confirmation from someone confirming the order and telling me to call customer service if i had any questions, no customer service # was listed in the e-mail. I found the customer service # by searching the web, quess what? it was a number in Canada. When I told the girl that I did not understand the e-mail and felt that I had been scammed she then gave me what she said was a local #. I was first told that it would take 24 to 48 hrs for the order to download now I am being told that it will take 48 to 72 hours to download. At any rate I intend to report this to the BBB and Attorney General. I was told to add the amounts together shown on my e-mail confirmation and this is what I would be charged. Whenever you add the e-mail totals I would be paying approximately $72.00 for this remarkable, wonderful product advertised on tv as (2) sets for only $10.00 + shipping and handling. I really think that Billy should reconsider advertising this product or force the web-site to preview what they are buying and paying for before submitting any credit information. The site is difficult and deceitful.....I have informed their customer service that I intend to cancel my order, which they say they can do as soon as it is downloaded (this even though I have an order number) go figure. I do not expect to hear from anyone concerning this, but it would be nice to know that Billy is really as legitimate as I thought he was.

PS: How can this be rush shipping if the order takes 72 hours to download to the computer.....we put men on the moon quicker than that and I believed we used computers to do so..... Respond to this comment

AMEN!!! I have been scammed with his advertising Awsome Auger. I was sent two sets, but only ordered one. Can't get anyone to answer the phone. I'm to the point of finding out where the man lives...if you know what I mean. I'll never order anything from him again,...or anybody else before reading their blogs on the internet. Boy was I scammed!!!

Billy Mays is an annoying idiot that will pitch dog crap if paid. What a jerk. The channel is changed as soon as he comes on, and the products he pitches are shunned by all that I know. Respond to this comment

Sounds like Billy wrote the article himself. Anonymous is right about the annoying jerk. We refer to him as the Oxi-moron. Respond to this comment

I am a big fan of Billy Mays and I think he does a great job adversting products. Ihave bought many of his tv items and have been very happy wit them. Billy keep up the good work!!!!!!
When Billy Mays appears on TV I immediately change the channel. What a jerk. He makes a living yelling at the top of his voice in your face, and the volume auto-increases on your TV at the same time giving you an instant headache. If I could afford it, I'd throw a brick through my TV screen every time he appears. Promoting this guy as this article does is an insult to the public.
I cannot believe all these harsh comments regarding Billy Mays. They are down right childish and very mean spirited. Most people I know have one or more Billy Mays products in their homes, so his advertising is working. I see his infomercials and he is not yelling into the tv. He is a great spokesperson and he advertises the products very well. I bought mighty putty and have used it several times in my house. It's great! My husband has even used it to do some repairs on our car. Thanks Billy!!!
I hit the mute button every time I see this overbearing moron on tv. I don't know anyone who is dumb enough to buy the overpriced and cheap Chinese made junk he's selling.
The most annoying sound to ever come from a t.v. set is the voice of Billy Mays. Like fingernails on a chalkboard, I can't believe that there's not a national movement to boycott the products whose manufacturers are inconsiderate enough to hire this idiot.
