Wow, good for you. I think that a general faq with helpful links like that
one posted frequently by say the ops? "George" wrote in message ... "Ken Marsh" wrote in message ... Hi, mark wrote: #Ask for USPS money orders. cheap, readily available, cashable at any Post #Office and I would think d_mn tough to forge. Plus it's federal offense. Sounds good, but... better check the threshold for which they'll bother to investigate this federal offense. It is a far higher dollar amount than any used camera transaction. Ken. -- They'll investigate for any amount. I've had it done twice...once for $25 and once for $100. Make sure you send the payment via US mail. Then if you don't get your stuff (or even if it arrives damaged and the seller refuses to make it good), file form 8165 (https://www.usps.com/postalinspectors/ps8165.pdf). I had both issues resolved to my satisfaction by the postal inspectors. |

"bASS" wrote in message news:L6jnc.397511$Pk3.18158@pd7tw1no... Wow, good for you. I think that a general faq with helpful links like that one posted frequently by say the ops? What can I say...I am a good complainer who complains to the right people and with the right documentation VBG. I absolutely HATE being ripped off. I guess what got me started in my "zero tolerance" stance was an ISP who thought they could charge my credit card a monthly service charge for life regardless of the fact that I'd cancelled their service. I had a GOOD credit card company that allowed me to block them from continuing to charge my card indefinitely (some credit card companies do NOT allow YOU to control the charges to your account but put that in the hands of the company charging your account...SHAME on them) and I thought that was the end of it. Until about six months later when I got a "collection notice"...that set me off and I figured that if they wanted to "up the ante", I'd put it at a painful level for them and complained to the attorneys general of my state AND the state the ISP was in. Anyway, I got them out of my account with the two letters, got a letter of apology from the ISP, and treble damages. Total cost for me was two postage stamps. Case closed. By the way, all of the above was AGAINST the advice of my attorney. He was sure useful. (But an attorney friend got a big kick out of this AND the time I brought a pile of small claims court forms to a retailer who wouldn't take a return on an article of clothing that fell apart the very first week and I asked if anyone else in line needed any forms as I was filling out mine in their store. BTW--I didn't need to file those either and that store was acting contrary to how their corporate headquarters had directed them to act.) |
