Sorry you got scammed Chewy. I know the feeling! Last year I got lazy (won't ever again!) and decided to order CompUSA gift cards over the net at the CompUSA website. I still kick myself that I didn't just drive up to the stupid store myself and get them there, it ain't that far. Anyways, 2 days later I get the FEDEX, which I thought odd cause I clicked on the 3-5 day mail option, not FEDEX. But I think "whatever it's already here great." I open the very flat FEDEX package and inside is an envelope. Inside the envelope is just some piece of paper that has a CompUSA logo on it. This paper also looks like it was copied over in a Xerox machine ten thousand times over it is so blurry with black splotches all over it. Oh, there wasn't anything else in the envelope. I spent $80.00 on two gift cards. Yeah.
So I call the CompUSA number on the website, "Customer Service," wait 20 minutes on hold. Finally I get a guy and explain to him my problem. He puts me on hold for 10 minutes, sheesh, comes back and says he's gonna have it taken off of my credit card bill, but it will take a week or two, or something like that. So I figure all is OK, but heh, they didn't take it off my credit card bill. I also tried to email their Customer Service area on the net, several times, never did get a reply. Now on reflection I should have just called my credit card company and had them put a stop on it or however you do that (never have). And since I never had I just ate it. I just didn't think calling CompUSA again would get me anywhere, who knows who the thieves are, they could be in that very office I was calling eh?
And of course with these sorts of incidents they get away with it, cause as you said Chewy, they have receipts of the postage and delivery. And in my case it was even FEDEX. And weight wise two cards would weigh nothing, so trying to find the weight of the package to prove nothing was in it was an impossibility in my case. And on another note, there probably are thieves of a different sort who actually DO get their package complete, but try to lie and say they didn't to get a freebie. So when I called them I kept thinking "man I hope they don't think I'm some scammer and realize I'm telling the truth." Blah. Bastaids.
