Outdoors Been ripped off for X-Box by Abcnet23.com

Angelo Maimone the owner of this fraudulent website Abcnet23.com had me send a check overnight for Christmas delivery of an X-Box and once he cashed the check he won't respond to e-mails or phone calls. They're based in Miami and does anyone know who i can report this criminal to, or any other course of action?

ABCNet23 complaint total ripoff avoid at all cost

This is obviously a scam site. They charged me for two XBox games and I never received them. I have left at least ten messages at every extension they give when you call Cust Service. You never get a person. You get a recording and no one calls back. I've been very patient, placed order on March 23. My emails have also gone unanswered except for the automated responses. It's easy to give good prices if you are not actually shipping merchandise.

abcnet23

I've been scammed by Abcnet23.com also. Ordered a PS2 game on 4/6. Credit card was charged right away. Have left 10 phone messages - 5 e-mails and 1 certified letter - no response. Now today their website is gone and phone is not in service. I'm going to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and wherever else I can.

So, the CC is charged, and nothing happens.
Isn't this the case where you should contact your CC company for help? Isn't this why using a CC and not a debet card is the way to go?
I feel for you guys and wish you the best....

ABCnet23.com Is GREAT!

I bought an xbox 360 and an Ipod Nano and the only problem i had was NOTHING! As a fellow seller online i can tell you this. Check to see who processes your payment to the company. Maybe the seller didn't get paid because your credit card company was reveiwing the caherge and held up the transaction. Most electronics retailers have to use a 3rd party processor since they do a lot of sales and the products are what are considered HIGH RISK for fraud. To the morons below, did you contact your credit card company to see if you can dispute the charge? did you see if it was even ABCnet23.com that charged the card? Here's an idea, stop being such an anal introvert and realize that when you use a credit card online and even a check card online you are covered and all you have to do is make a phone call to your bank to dispute the charges. It's alot easier than trying to slam a company. By the way, look up CompUSA or bestBuy.com or Circuit City ratings. They will make you wish that you could find a store like ABCnet23.com. Htey have horrible service, but you never see them in search results getting slammed. Why, because they are billion dollar companies, and they can pay to have their searchthread hidden when it comes to bad PR. Just so you guys know i ordered the same products from Circuit city and they MADE me put stuff inthe shopping cart I DIDN'T WANT just to complete the order. Overall ALL I WANTED TO SAY IS " I think ABCnet23.com is GREAT" especially compared to the bigger stores that make you buy accessories you don't want just to get the item you do want! Oh, by the way, how can you be scammed when all you have to do is make a phone call and get a refund! Duh... Whoever writes idiot threads like the one's below are just PhuQin stoooopid

How is a local phone number (877) sounds lik eyou are tring to trasha company on purpose! The phone number you listed doesn't even work. Also, the Internet Commmerce Company isn't even a real name. I looked it up and it doesn't exist. It'sa jerk off name. are you making this stuff up as you go?

Then you had better hurry and buy all you can from them. They have as of yet NOT renewed the site. As it now stands they go out of business in 36 days.

EDIT:
Oh SORRY, I didn't see that you are no longer with us here at RR.
