They got $1595.00 from me and haven't done a DAMN thing for me. I want my money back as well. If I can help you in any way, please let me know. I don't know how much help I can be in Va, but I will do my best. I contacted my bank and they told me this is a battle I will have to take up with them, they couldn't help me get my money back. So now, I'm angry. Please let me know and I'll help.Leneetha Dyar Stafford, VA 540-497-1055
If you paid by credit card IMMEDIATELY use the dispute procedure outlined on your credit card statement. You have at least 60 days from the date of the charge to do this, if not more. (see Federal Trade Commission web site) If you pay your credit card bill on line, you can usually disput the charge online. You can also probably do it by phone, but you will want to follow up in writing.
Taking companies like these scum to court is useless. Even if you get them in court they will never pay; they will file bankruptcy or disappear; they are crooks; plain and simple. Contact your credit card company and refuse to pay your credit card company. That is the only protection you have against scammers and it is your right under federal law. Credit card companies will stop doing business with them when they realize they are "bad debts".
