"Just like everyone else, it seems, Arismo has failed to deliver my RAM that I ordered several weeks ago. I hope that if this is some sort of scam, they get everything that they deserve."
"ARISMO HAD STOLEN MY MONEY , ORDER A MEMORY ON JULY 10 2003, THEY TOOK THE MONEY NEVER SEND THE MEMORY, NOW I AM TRYING TO CHECK THERE WEB SITE IT IS NO LONGER ACTIVE, THEY APEAR NOT TO BE IN BUSSINESS ANY MORE. IT IS DISCUSTING..THE PURCHASE THANK S GOD WAS ONLY FOR $44"
"I'm glad I found this website, and glad to see that (unfortunately) I am not alone. I got scammed by Arismo too (same MO as the rest of you), but only $7.99 for an exhaust fan. What concerns me the most is the fact that they now possess my credit card #. I suggest someone take action, or suggest options for taking action. I'm not a lawyer, but this is fraud, right??
Here's some clues:
I received e-mail conformation, sent from the following domain:
arismo.rackshack.net
According to www.internic.net:
---------------------------------------------

...so their hosting company's domain name is set to expire in a couple days. Coincidence??
I'd say try to get ahold of the registrar (RACKSHACK.NET) to get more info on arismo, that is unless they are one and the same??

"I purchased a 512mb DIMM from them. Recieved the confirmation and subsequently a $35.00 deduction on my credit card thru a company called SofSoft Corporation. Since I did not purchase anything thru SofSoft, I have to assume this is Arismo, since it's the same price. The phone number on my bank statement starts with 886-336-542, I don't know what last number is. All calls to them connected but a second later just dropped. Tried to contact them via email and web site email, both got no responses. After a while tried to go back to their website, only to find it gone. I'm glad I found this website."
"I have placed unfortunatly two orders as of July 7th 2003 and july 21st. And today is August the 5th and I am still waiting. I have called and left many messages. And I have called again to get a wrong number or non existant. I have been charged for the second order as of july the 24th. and I recived a confirmation for shipping but nothing recieved.
I have done a whois and found a phone number to try to call and get a "not in service" message.

I AM VERY VERYY UPSET AND UNABLE TO CONTACT THESE PEOPLE ABOUT MY PURCHASE."
"I,m going though the same experiences that I am reading in the previous posts. I have not recieved my order as of August 5th. I submitted a complaint to pricewatch, maybe they have some contact info. "
"This is the first bad experience for web purchases that I've had. Of course, This was the first time that I ordered from this company, which was listed on PriceWatch.com. I ordered some RAM back on july 22 I received a confirmation email. However, I have not received my product. I emailed their support 5 times...with no answer. I called their 1-866 number...which is not working. Today I checked the web site to find that it was no longer working either. I did a search and found this web site. "
"I emailed sales and support three times and never received a response, or product that I ordered. When I logged in to check the status it always says processed but not backordered. And yes I have been charged."
"I also got ripped by arismo. Ordered on 7/13/03,payment deducted 7/16/03. several e-mails
to them no reply. If they ever come back online,
stay away from it."
"Another one bites the dust. This is the first bad experience for web purchases that I've had. Of course, I have not made very many. This was the first time that I ordered from this company, which was listed on PriceWatch.com. I ordered some RAM back on the 14th. I received a confirmation email. However, I have not received my product. I emailed their support twice...with no answer. I called their 1-866 number...which is not working. Today I checked the web site to find that it was no longer working either. I did a search and found this web site. As I read the postings, I am also going to post complaints at the two web sites listed among the other posts; "https:/www.ifccfbi.gov" and "http://www.econsumer.gov/english/". I hope that my bank will be able to reverse the charges. I also hope that you all see costumer satisfaction with reimbursements."
"does not answer phone. responded to one email promised to send tracking info. company was listed on price watch but disappeard. no tracking info no product. order was for 256mb pc133 sdram sku 92-3264sw-p3hy-h part # 19696. payment was visa. delivery was to be ups ground."
"I was scammed as well, buying a 500W Power Supply for $15.00. I paid for the item with my credit card, but never received an email confirmation and never received the item in the mail. However, I filed a complaint with the Internet Fraud Complaint Center at "https:/www.ifccfbi.gov" and I suggest that everyone else who has been scammed to do the same."
