Thread: Why is S.Q. still a Tweleve "friend" on My space?

Everyone needs to remember this:

You have a limited amount of time, 90 days I think, to dispute a credit card charge after it has been billed. After that, you're out of luck. I'd encourage everyone with unfilled orders to contact your bank and start the chargeback process now.

I filed a claim with my bank this morning and the funds have already been credited to my account.

So the complain to the credit card company is going to work for the Compendiums, but not for the attic prizes or Evan's version of the scroll that we have also been waiting for for a long long time.

I also just filed a claim with BBB.org.
Says I will be notified of the status as soon as they have contacted the business.

Gabi is of course correct that the credit card companies will refund you money on purchases only.

perhaps we need prize insurance!!!

Yes and no. They will refund money on merchandise that was substantially misrepresented. If the scroll is marketed as something that can actually earn you a prize & the opportunity to win that prize never existed, then the product is 'defective'.

you're still not going to be reimbused by a credit card company for a prize!

lol

Why does this not constitute fraud?
I also urge all to contact Pirates mag. and ask to speak with the editor. Her name is Kim Cross and can be reached at 410-265-5110.
Since S.Q. is using this mag as an advertising outlet perhaps we can prevent unsuspecting treasure hunters from future rip-offs and unfulfilled orders. Ms. Cross is very concerned and approachable.Lafitte

Of course not, but you can at least get back what you paid for the scrolls, etc...

So, hypothetically speaking, would you rather get your $5 back for the price of the scroll, or hold out for a $50,000 amulet?

At least the five bucks is a sure thing.
