What a shitty company. They screwed me and they will screw you. Now the government is investigating their scams. Avoid!

Their BBB complaints have shot through the roof this year. Looks like their business practices are finally catching up with them. Keep running your shitty commercials, your reputation can't hide!

um, thats not really true, hoss

“These weren’t fraud cases. People got windows. But I think it can be fair to say that they made poor decisions in promoting windows with claims that weren’t substantiated.”

this says they arent investigating them at all - just telling them that yeah, their commercials are shitty. Everybody and their mother (yes, I mean you Deena LoLz) knows that ha ha just playing =)
but seriously, anybody with a fucking brain can figure out to get federal rebates you gotta make sure what you buy qualifies for it - not really rocket science.........................got any proof that Thompson Creek was doing a bait and switch from those ads? Then we'll talk scam - otherwise, give it a rest

Line my pockets and I'll shill anything! Did you know Thompson Creek windows will stop global warming, resurrect extinct species, and give you a soothing blowjob before bedtime every night?

Their claims are misleading, and not scientifically backed? What else do I hear on WMAL that is misleading and not scientifically backed? Oh yeah, piratically everything.

Had no problems with the sliding door they installed. Way better than my 70s-era original.
