Legal or Scam? http://www.lfpdistrogroup.com/

You can file a complaint at either ic3.gov or directly with the Massachuetts Attorney General, they will most likely be handling this matter.
NOTE: The MAG link also provides a link to further information such as a Chapter 93A and private court actions.

It also cannot hurt to file a complaint with the BBB. Even thou the BBB has no legal authority in the matter they will generate a report and help to warn other consumers. File a BBB complaint.

Also, thewholesaleforums.co.uk has relocated their thread on these guys to the 'Bad Supplier Experiences' section.

iffizworld and nyctiago9,

Could be, also a search of public records shows that the guy the business registration is listed too, on page one, is 69 years old.

Wouldn't be the first time a stolen ID was used.

I would ask them through email something like "Hey I want to make a payment right away by TT for 100 PS3's. Can you please give me the invoice and payment instructions."

See if they reply to that. if they reply to that but not to the others, you can probably assume they are still sitting back taking free money, but i am sure you can catch them through IP locating or sting operation at the bank branch they work at. THe FBI is knows exactly what to do. Lets hope they left some holes in their little scam, and that they'll go to jail forever. The guy "mark" on the phone sounded like your average 20-30 year old white american, no accent or anything. If they are truly scamming criminals, they were pretty smart to tell me "no we don't have any refurbished merchandise" rather than being so money hungry they would say "yes we have it" or basically say yes to anything.

Anyone who was scammed by them please also login to tradekey and report them so they don't still have a premium membership (which is what adds much legitimacy)

As I pointed out in a above post, this is likely being handled by the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office.

The FBI only becomes involved when certain conditions are attained. For example, I believe that a monetary loss of at least 700-750,000 USD must be involved. Or perhaps hundreds, if not thousands, of consumer complaints must have been received. Also, the complaints should involve numerous states and/or countries. At present we have 3 people with a loss of $55,000.

I see nothing to suggest that the Feds are/would be involved at this stage.

May I suggest that some of you go back and read this thread through from the beginning.

lg0703,
I understand that you have a large amount of money tied up in this. But you must be prepared to write that off as a loss, business wise, this year and likely next year.
Hopefully, these people will be caught.

Great idea! I second that motion.

I almost fell for these scammers because of Tradekey since it made LFP somehow look legit, report LFP with Tradekey so more people won't be scammed.

I ordered 10 iphones from them for $3790 on October 17th, and I have not recieved any of the phones, no tracking number, and I have sent a number of emails with no response; and of course no one has responded to my phone calls or voicemails either. Thankfully I paid through google checkout with my credit card and am in the process of filling a dispute to try to get my money back. I wish I would of read the comments on the other people getting screwed over before I ordered but it looks like I ordered around the same time as everone else If you guys are going to sue them I am willing to testify for you guys, that is if I get my money back from my credit card. If I don't get my money back then I am def. sueing with you guys.

[alaskey]

Last email i sent them was if you want my money in a way that im not protected IE credit card, Then tell me where and when and ill show up in person w cash you bring the systems. they never responded to that. Because i stuck to my guns and forced the credit card they just quit talking to me at all. And i do not suggest anyone ever arrange to show up in person alone, Thats not smart. But at 6'7" and 300lbs being a ex military police officer and a ranger for the US Army and would love to meet the terrorist funding scammers, Or slap the 17 year old computer geek wacking off to porn in his mammas basement that is doing this.

And the FBI and others will get into it especially because they say they have a biz in canada and boston, can we say TERRORIST FUNDING
