Back in July I was referred to a gentleman by the name of Miguel Zamora who was looking to sell some Apple iPod Nano 4GB units. The price was not amazing, but was reasonable. I checked him out and he was legit. His company name is Electronik Wholesale, LLC... Registered in the State of Florida. I decided to purchase 50 units from him.
I paid him by credit card $4774.00 and $2967.00 by wire because a payment to my credit card company was made incorrectly - so I couldn't use the credit card for the entire amount.
He lost his first supplier, for some reason or another, so he went in search of another supplier. He found two of them. One in California and another in China.
Before I knew it he had decided to use the Chinese company. He ordered a sample from the Chinese company which came fine and supposedly all units were authentic. Then he ordered a larger order (supposedly with my units included). 100 of these units he ordered were sent to his cousin in New Jersey. I asked him to contact me to let me know when they got there and if they were all authentic. Apparently they got there fine and were also authentic.
One thing I need to make clear here is that during this whole transaction Mr. Miguel Zamora made it very difficult to reach him and he would rarely return phone calls in anything resembling a timely manner.
On 8/3/06 he finally wrote me to tell me to process a chargeback for the purchase, saying that his suppliers were scamming him. I did so immediately an wrote him back asking about a refund for the remaining $2,967.00. I received no response. I wrote again on 8/7/06 and said that if he did not return my calls or my emails by 8/13/06, then on 8/14/06 I would notify the authorities.
I heard nothing back. On 8/14/06 I opened up an investigation with my local police dept, wrote a complaints to www.ic3. Gov, the FL state Attorney General and the Southeastern Florida BBB. I notified Mr. Miguel Zamora that I had done the above on 8/14/06 in the evening and warned that if there was no response to that then on 8/17/06 I would write usacomplaints.com and — , & and post complaints there (which would show up in Google searches).
On 8/15/06 I heard back from him. He stated that he wanted a firm date and time to contact me back. He stted that several things had happened (no phone or cell phone service, no internet/email service, no access to his online business email) which prevented him from contacting me. I wrote back telling him to contact me back by 8/16/06 from 2:30-4:30pm HIS time. No response, no calls.
On 8/17/06, I wrote Mr. Miguel Zamora that I would re-instate the investigation on 8/21/06, write the websites I mentioned above, and report the issue to other places that the FL Attorney General's office recommended me to IF he did not call or write back by 8/18/06 5:00PM HIS time. No response, no calls.
So, this morning 8/18/06 I re-instated the investigation. The officer came and picked up all my evidence (emails, etc.) and will contact the Okeechobee Sheriff's office. Now I am going and writing my complaints in the places I have stated that I would.
I am dismayed that I have been forced to go to this extreme measure to A). Get my money back and B). To get Mr. Miguel Zamora to respond. I am fed up with the extreme lack of communication and sincerely hope that no one else has to go through this with him and his company, Electronik Wholesale, LLC.
