Bait and Switch SCAM

Help!

Allan,

Concerning: Item number: 17693
Type: Mambo Template Author: Ares
Order number: XXX44379 Order amount: $45

Yesterday I purchased a MAMBO template. Today I tried to install, it would not. I consulted your online support and could not find mambo listed among the many applications listed so I contacted customer service via chat. The CHAT session is below. It looks like I was sent a wordpress theme rather than the mambo. Please send me the mambo, it also looks like there may be an error on your website for this item identifying a mambo theme when your link is to a wordpress. Either way, I would greatly appreciate your help in this matter. I will destroy the file you sent, I have no use for it, I do not have wordpress. Please replace with the MAMBO link for this theme.

I will post your prompt help on this matter at Usa Consumer Complaints.com to publish your excellent customer service.

Thank you for your help in this matter.
