I placed an online order for a Sony HDTV on 02/24 and checked out with my MC credit card. After 4 days of pending status, I inquired via an email, and was told there was a problem with my card, and that the transaction would be cancelled, and for me to send payment to their US agent/accountant in Louisiana. I was provided with the name and capital One account number of the agent. On 03/01, I deposited $1303.78 which Mr Rashid Faruq of electsonex.com indicated was never received by the agent. I went to the bank couple of times, and the manager told me the money was placed in the account, and that since I voluntarily paid the money into the account, I have to contact that person in Louisiana. To cut a fradulent story short, Rashid Faruq told me that they had severed their relationship with the agent, and for me to get my money back from her. After some protestations that thay should send me the tv, and get the money from the agent, Mr Faruq finally came with an offer that they would sell me the tv for $500, and that I should send the money via Western Union to a Jayden Norman in Malaysia. Well, it is said that a sucker is born every minute, the problem is that this sucker was born long time ago, and should have known better especially since Rashid Faruq was emailing every other day asking me when I would be sending the money. On 06/01, I sent the money, and when Western Union emailed me confirmation of pick up, i wrote Rashid Faruq asking when to expect delivery. Here is his email from [email protected]:
Dear xxxxxxx
The company management stopped the shipment of Order due to certain reasons,
We are having problem with custom department, dues to this we are unable to ship 1 single Units of TV to you.
At the moment the minimum order we can ship out to your location is 2 Units of the TV. Dues to the increment In vat and tax fee,
so as a matter of fact I urge you to follow our company units policy,
The balance you will be sending now is $1300
And the company management has requested you to make the payment of $1300 through Western Union today,
With the payment of $1300 so you can be able to get the all shipping document for the delivery of your order.
Note: This is from the General Sales Manager's table,
We are Sorry for any inconveniency
Thanks
Rashid
When I received the email on 06/01, I bursted out laughing at myself. After a while, I wrote Rashid Faruq back asking for my money back. Of course, his reply was no refund, and that I would get 3 tv's after sending $1300.
