Sorry to hear that hope you get your money back asap.

1-800-835-9676

Is the toll-free number. I tried it; it's not disconnected, but "all our operators are helping other customers. Please leave a message and we will return your call."

The fact that they really don't offer ANYTHING for under $100- no batteries, no accessories, no carycases, etc. is a good indication that it's a fake site setup to take in the maximum amount in cash and then run with it.

A traceroute ends up in Greenville, North Carolina.

I'm pretty sure I know you...

Please visit my domain and you can know for sure.

The 800 # answering machine picks up but not during "normal business" hours.

I got scammed $2300, and my card is basically on hold until it's settled, which I'm sure it will be.

Now they say they'll give me a refund, but because my order is somehow "fraud related" and because I'm never home.

It is very nice of you to tell your friends at macaddict that we 
ripped you off. It is also nice that you told them that it is your 
fault because you do not know how to pick up the telephone or are 
never home when our Merchant company attempts to call you. It is also 
wonderful how you told them we gave you a refund because your order 
was fraud related. But not to worry. We will post all the information 
for you including an email from our Merchant telling us to cancel 
your order due in part to you not answering the telephone when they 
called or that you have not yet called them back. Not to worry Nate 
we will help you right out and make you look stupid all at the same 
time.

Good Day!

Regards,

Customer Service Rep 1

I certainly didn't appreciate it when Jonathan called me at 6am PST yesterday to try to place the blame on me.   What's up with that?  I'm on vacation at home with my retired parents, and there have been no calls from Cardservice International or any merchant company, nor any messages, nor any missed calls from poeple we didn't know.  What is their number for me to call them back? Please post  their email saying when and why the order was stopped, precisely what times they tried to call and when they left messages. 

It would have been a great deal; a brand new PM G4 1.67 17" w/ 3yr Applecare for $2099 after student discount.  There is a smurf of 17" Powerbook scams on the web right now, it would be a shame for a legit company to get stained.  So rise to your defense fellas or get lost.

I'm a real artist, not a scam artist

That info isn't very useful... they used private registration.  That's Netsol's address and phone number.

I know that name.  Damn... where did I hear it?

Didn't they spam us once? 

:goes to look:

Yeah, almost thought this thread was going to be one of those.

Whether or not they are a scam, that angry sarcastic letter from the Customer Service Rep is enough to turn me off from them for good.

Wow, talk about bad business 101. These dudes get an A+.

Those bastards, they killed kenny!
