Metal Detecting
I just can’t understand this - it is wrong to be this way in the 21st century. I sent my sand shark to tesoro to fix a problem. When I called to find out what was happening I spoke with Robert. Something is wrong here - he was way too nice. He actually spent 20 minutes speaking with me. I will report him to tesoro management as he should’ve been repairing my detector! Don’t these tesoro people know that impersonal service beats customer satisfaction? What was even more frustrating to me was that Robert spoke english - impersonating an american - what’s up with that? I wonder what his real name is - and I’d bet I couldn’t even pronounce it. As hard as I tried to - I couldn’t catch him lying to me - but I’m sure I must’ve missed something.

Something is going on with tesoro - there HAS to be a catch somewhere here. I thought all night about what could be Robert’s motives. Nobody in customer service is that nice without having an ulterior motive. I know that Robert had to be trying to sucker me into something - but I am at a loss as to what it might be? Yes, I already called my credit card companies and had them replace my cards. I am going to the bank to change my accounts.

And no, it is not to tesoro’s credit that I have scooped my fair share of gold. I did the work! They did not just drop gold into my scoop. Why they sell their detectors at such a reasonable price is beyond me. Made in the USA can’t be that inexpensive. Their place in Prescot, AZ has to be a front.

My strategy is this - I will keep on buying tesoro detectors until I find out what their REAL objective is. When I finally bust them I will tell you all about it. No real company would allow their staff to spend 20 minutes talking to a customer when that staff person could be enjoying themself on facebook. I’ll bet you that the next time I call tesoro I’ll get a slick, sultry voice on the phone - but I’ll be ready for it.

As a fellow detector I felt it incumbent on me to warn you about tesoro. They HAVE to be up to something. Watch out for Robert - I just know he will lure you into something! He is really slick in pretending to care about you. Fore-warned is fore-armed.

Yeah, be too forearmed and you'll be Popeye :tongue3:
 

Maybe if Robert would spend more time updating the lineup, he wouldn't have to post this all over the internet.
 

Nothing more pathetic than a person pretending to be a customer when they work for the company.

I knew no one could have that big of a man crush on someone.
 

Are you Tosoro's Undercover Boss? You knowe, like on TV....Why don't you give Robert a new car?
 

I later noticed this was posted in several forums too. I guess that is one way to get your post count up too :laughing7:

That sounds like the person who asid he always wanted to be a teacher and later says: Now I are one!
I talked to Robert at tesoro. He did not give me any B.S. If you wanted to chat 20 min's that is totally up to you if you are long winded (Possibly by the author of this thread.) A tesoro worker will not hang up on you and will not fake it as a worker.
Somebodys got it wrong and it is probably a problem with the loose screw behing the metal detector.
I know a electronic engineer/designer of Fender/Randal.Risson/Rickenbacker Amps yet he does not play a guitar, that does not make him bad or wrong if he is not a musician/customer, he just makes the best amps. same as a Tesoro tech. Peace.
 

Re: Don't be duped

I bought my first MD last year a Vintage 1980's Tesoro golden Sabre II. I phoned Tesoro and "Robert" tole me I was missing a Battery Case which holde 8 AA batterys. I told him the "retainer Pin's" were loose and HOW MUCH were the pins. Robert told me to give him my address and he would send the Bat/Case & A new Battery Cover with new pins FREE! I told him I was not the original owner, He said: That's OK!
He also said If I send him the whole MD he would "Bench Test it"! Free and ship it back to me all free! Wow Robert is a great guy!
 

Tesoro is the only one that still has a lifetime warranty and many times still fixes used detectors for free. They value their customers and don't dismiss you after the warranty time period and charge an arm and a leg to fix something.
 

I agree, the people at Tesoro are over the top. Excellent bunch of pilgrims.
