Fraud Question

[Cyotee_b]

Yeah, thanks, i looked a bit into that company. There isn't much, i did however find the owner of that supposid LLC, and then found out that it is the same guy who owns the domain name. So i now have his name, address, and phone number. Early next week i am going to try calling again, i have the feeling though that it is not his number since some girls answering machine picked up.

Thanks for all the help everyone, I am going to keep trying things.

When you file the complaint with www.fraud.org, include any and all contact info for anyone involved you have found, no matter what, including any phone numbers, names found on the site. This helps them contact all the appropriate people and agencies - they contact the appropriate attorney generals, better business bureaus, etc. - saves you the time of having to contact all the different organizations.

The last time I had a problem was with a merchant at Yahoo shopping who went out of business after having a store there for several years, and they refused to get back to me, even though I found good phone numbers and other emails not listed on their
site. And Yahoo was no help, even they advertised some sort of guarantee for using their merchants. But the money I paid in good faith was refunded and received by me within 1 week after filing my complaint with fraud.org.

So good luck, I'm sure this will get your money back, based on my experience.

Again, even though time has passed, file a complaint with www.fraud.org - it really works if at all possible to find the company/seller.

I had similar problems one time and they found the vendor who had gone out of business and I got a call 2 days after complaint from the vendor who previously was unreachable and had a full mailbox also. Attorney General/Better Business, etc. are contacted by the site - saves you the frustration of knowing who to contact. Provide all info you can (names, phone numbers, etc., ), and get what info you can from your checking account/charge card company on transaction too if applicable. Of course, occasionally even government officials can't find people who are bigtime scammers and skip out, but this is probably your best bet.

I hope you contacted your credit company too, if it was a charge. May be too late now, but still worth calling now and see what they advise if you did not.

And a lesson learned, be careful who you deal with - even though a deal may sound good, might be best to pass it up and try to deal with well-known reputable vendors, or lesser knowns you link to from sites known to be reputable.

Good Luck, getting ripped off is one of my pet peeves - I work for an attorney and see this happen to people frequently.
