Just so that everything comes around in a big circle of the almighty Consumerist....
That address on Mentor is in Norwood, Ohio. Right down the street from the former Headquarters of ... yep .. you guessed it. Convergys.
A secret plot by the 'stache? I think so. ;)
Thanks for the snooping, Ben. I do also have a case pending with my credit card company.
The other annoying part of the deal was that I was referred to the Gift Assistant by Citibank, through their \"Thank You\" merchant network. So I assumed I wasn't going to get screwed, and I would get a few extra reward points on my credit card. That's what I get for trusting my bank.
Oh yeah, Citibank is WAY trustworthy. So is Enron and Exxon/Mobil.
Presuming that Citibank isn't in on the scam, they might want to know that they're referring customers to a site that is defrauding them. If they stop their recommendation, it might save some poor slob from getting burned the same way. Maybe you can even finagle a few extra reward points out of them by complaining.
I love hunting people down.
It should be noted that Mister Candelaresi's information on his domain is quite incorrect and outdated.
(The telphone numbers dont belong to him either - they belong to someone else)
Unless they've gone underground (they, meaning his wife + son), I'd check out the Apple Lane Apartments. 1825 Sutton Ave. Apt #7. Write a letter, ask for a refund - I'm almost 95% sure he'll get it.
Course that's in Cincinnati, OH, 45212.
Merry Christmas Tom (Thomas, middle initial A).
Prick.
Has it really become so difficult to buy gift certificates that people feel the need to purchase through a third party like that?
