Sl-6000l On Amazon For $300 Right Now!

[nilch]

Again, just for carrying on the fun (and relishing in the though of giving the scammers back in their own coin)

The email quote from the scammers says
"We deliver the product to Amazon , and as soon as they receive it they are sending you a confirmation about it , and that you can safely send the payment to us using Western Union Money Order. As soon as we receive the payment , we contact Amazon about delivering the product to you."

So the "Weztern Union" money order does go to the vendor and not to Amazon, I make out.

Just received an e-mail from Amazon saying that they've refunded the $305.99 to my card after processing the A to Z guarantee . I forgot how many times I had to call up before I could get them to process this before their stipulated time. Anyway, for my pains they gave me $ 15 + 20 + 20 = $55 worth of promotional certificates ( on 3 different occasions).
One thing I found interesting was that whenever I called Amazon during the daytime, I always got CSRs who were not very helpful and in fact one of them was outright rude; but whenever I called at night (I am located in the Midwest BTW, EST), I was able to speak to CSRs who were polite and genuinely tried to solve the problem and even offered me the above mentioned promotional certificates. The fact that these CSRs were Indian, as I am too, did not have anything to do with this, I hope    
Here's to hoping that the rest of you who were duped too get refunded ASAP.
Happy Holidays.
Peace be on Earth.

Just got off the phone with Amazon and they accepted my A-to-Z claim and said they will issue the refund immediately and I should see it in the next 1-2 weeks.   I'm glad this is nearly over.    

Good luck to the rest of you.  Everyone please post your responses from Amazon so we can see how they deal with all of us.

i did the fucwit thing .. didn't make too much progress (they checked their bank, they claim) but I enjoyed it.

have at 'em  

(gotta go get my money)

aaarghh
they are processing the claim. 1-2 weeks before reimbursement.
when I tried to make the claim earlier, it was not allowed.

I just called Amazon to process their a-z guarantee, and I pretended to be very upset about the whole thing and the guy said I would get reimbursed (for both orders) within 2 days.  He said that I would get an email within an hour with the details of the reimbursment.  I'm not sure why he told me 2 days vs. the 1 - 2 weeks others are getting.

When the first guy was done processing the reimbursments, I asked to be transferred to a supervisor.  I told the supervisor that I knew at least 20 people who purchased well over 30 Zs from this fraud jpettins and asked if there was anything that Amazon could do for all of us.  At first he said that each individual should call into Amazon and they would process the a-z guarantee.  I reminded him that they would do that anyway, and asked if there was anything else that they could do for the group.  He said that he couldn't give out a bulk gift certificate, but that he could do the following...

For each person that was screwed by jpettings, call into 1-800-201-7575 and tell them to view the comments for the following order number:  058-3867722-2293929.  The comments should tell them to give you each a $20 gift certificate.  They will of course need to check your Amazon account to make sure that you did indeed purchase a Z from this jpettins.

It's not much, but at least it's a small consolation for the crap everyone went through.

Happy Holidays!

You are a champ ORG.

That worked like a charm - initailly the Amazon guy just wouldnt talk to me about another order so I asked for the supervisor too, and then he went in saying he couldnt disclose whatever was there - I said fine, but unless you look at it you wouldnt know what is in there in the comments. After a lot of huffing-and-puffing about it he did at least agree to look it up and also did give me the gift certificate.

But its still the 1-2 weeks refund period for me.

So thanks to you, even it its a small consolation for such crap that we took for nearly a month (with the A-Z processing time and all that).

Afterthought :  After checking that I did indeed get the $20 gift certificate, I went ahead and donated $20 dollars for the US Red Cross for the Asian disaster relief (thru Amazon). At least that makes the whole sour deal seem a little less sour for me.

Nicely done!! I'll call asap.

2 days vs. the 1 - 2 weeks others are getting

So I got the email confirming the processing of the a-z guarantee, and after reading it I noticed:

You'll hear from us within the next 1-2 weeks.

That bastard... he specifically told me 1 - 2 business days!  Oh well, I figured he was mis-quoting the policy, as everyone else here was saying 1 - 2 weeks.

Since I'm bored at work, I figured I should call amazon to complain (that's what americans do when we're bored, right?).  I acted very frustrated and asked why the previous guy had quoted me 1 - 2 days for processing.  Long story short, he gave me a $20 promotional certificate.

I wonder how many I can get out of them if I keep calling in to complain?

[adf]

If you look back, you'll se that at opne point I got promised 50% back immediately. That didn't happen either.  Not terrific coherence over there...but nice about the certificates.

Offroad,
I called amazon. Got a team leader named Heather B. (7:40 pm ak standard Dec. 30th)
She says you never spoke to any supervisor. That there is nothing in those comments about a 20 cert for the group members that got screwed.... essentially that you are making it all up.

I will keep hounding amazon --but you might want to give 'em a ring and mention something like "defamation of character" and slander.... etc...

I just called them back and spoke to a team lead (sudhir).  He confirmed that the notes the previous team lead about issueing $20 promotional gift certs to each of the persons screwed by jpettins is indeed in my contact comments

Maybe Heather B was just lazy or simply didn't like you... who knows, people are weird (all except me).

Sudhir said that each of the 20 people should do the following:

1.  Call Amazon at that nifty 800 #
2.  Provide your order number (the one for the 6000 purchase with jpettins)
3.  Confirm all of your security crap (how many security questions do they *really* need to ask???)
4.  Demand the $20 promotional gift certificate
5.  Refer the amazon person to my order number, and specifically to the "contact comments" area:
058-3867722-2293929
6.  Be happy as a pig in shit (or as happy as you can be after all this)

BTW - I let Sudhir know that I never received my first $20 promotional cert from the first team lead, and he gave me one on the spot... actually read me the code over the phone.  

Also, he was a really nice guy.    We were chatting and he mentioned that he lived in a coastal town in India, and that the residents of this town were ordered to evacuate because they are expecting more trouble (I think another earthquake, though I'm not sure).  Apparently he (and his family) have decided to stick it out.   I found this out near the end of the call.... after I had complained and complained about people not getting, and how Heather B. called me a liar, blah blah blah, me me me.  All the while this poor guy (and many others) are being as sweet as they can to complainers like me while their whole livelihood may be in jeopardy.

Our thoughts and prayers should be with those in need.

Thanks, will call.
I must, however, reflect for a moment that the southern, or perhaps texan heather b. probably makes 10x what sudir does, and she doesn't even do her job. yipee global economy.

[adf]

Ok. got it. Thanks. Very much Offroad.
As a hint to others experiencing difficulty, I still had to really push the csr to actually read offraod's order comments. If I hadn't been extemely inistant I would yet be living by the word of Heather B. Once again, some ( a decent enough guy in the end though) one from the southern us.
