My poor wife went to a website that
I directed her to to buy something for me for Christmas. It turns out that website is a front where they take your money and give no product. If we had known about
resellerratings-com, we'd have saved ourselves the hassle, but now we have to cancel the order and possibly get a new credit card issued.
Well, you can bet we'll be checking a site's rating before purchasing directly through a non-major site again.
Anyway, I'm ticked and I'm going to do everything I can to make life miserable for this slimeball. First I'm going to dispute the charges with my credit card and ask if they have any means of prosecution/persecution. Second, I'm going to try and get his hosting, domain name, and merchant accounts canceled (with no domain name, no hosting for his site, and no merchant account to take credit cards, I'm guessing it will be harder to scam people in the future). And, if I can, I'm going to see what agency is responsible for this kind of fraud and see what they can do about it.
I'll post updates here if I manage to get any of this accomplished.
2007.12.08 – With a
whois check, I found out that their hosting is through www.123CheapDomains.com and their domain registration is with tucows.com. I've sent an e-mail to
The Consumerist to see if they can help before I contact anyone else because they have a lot more clout than I do. I'll still call my bank to have the charges reversed later. While I'm on the phone with them, I'll see if I can find out who their merchant account is through.
