E-Machines (Circuit City)
Ripoff Another rebate scam and ripoff Young America, MN

Purchased E-Machine computer and components on 6/02/02 with advertised rebates from E-Machines, Circuit City, and Lexmark Printers.

Mailed in all receipts and rebate claim forms on 6/10/02 as instructed by Circuit City sales representative. Just today (7-19-02) received letter from E-Machines stating they would not honor my rebate due to my not including the bar codes cut off the boxes. This was not explained by the Circuit City sales person but was in the FINE PRINT of the instructions.

They took over a month to notify me of this and now it is too late to take the merchandise back to Circuit City for a refund. Also, they have flatly refused to honor the rebate although they have in their possession my sales receipt which clearly shows the bar code stamped on it.
