- On July 23 2006, I ordered a Panasonic TH50P500U (a PC compatible model) from PriceMad for $3,148.
- A few days after PriceMad shipped me a totally different unit (TH50P60U a non-PC Compatible model for which I had no use) for $3,248.
- After several unsuccessful telephone calls, then as many unanswered e-mails, on October 12, I decided to file a complain with my credit card.
- On November 29, I sent a certified letter to PriceMad to suggest a settlement for our dispute.
- On February 1st 2007, PriceMad finally indicated that it was willing to settle the matter along the lines suggested on my November 29 letter mentioned above: We agreed that I would keep the wrong television set at a reduced price of $1,910, the cheapest discounted price advertised on the web that day.
- Instead of refunding me $3,248 (the amount originally billed) and charging me $1,910
(the amount agreed upon), or simply refunding me the difference ($1,338), PriceMad charged me $1,910 on top of the $3,248 already paid for a total $5,158.
- My credit card was unsuccessful in attempting to retrieve the overcharged of $3,248.
- A formal complain has been filed with the New York Attorney General, the Better Business Bureau and several other consumer agencies. Other civil and penal actions are underway.
- I since resold the TV to a neighbor at a small lost for $1,800 and ordered the model I wanted from "ShopDigitalOnline" which sent me the model I wanted at the price they advertised.

Should I add that I would advise you to stay away from PriceMad and its team of professional crooks?
