Internet Scams
Real World Case: Internet Consumer Scams
“Be warned. If you get an email from a certain
Mr. Smith of Oraclexxxxxx.com about specially priced Oracle CD ROM
training, do not make the mistake of purchasing these CDs or
attending a training seminar. This is a scam. Phone calls and emails
are never returned.
Their website (www.Oraclexxxxxx.com) provides
contact numbers and email addresses but you never get to actually
speak to any person.”
“I signed up (www.Oraclexxxxxx.com) for the
Oracle boot camp in Nov.2003. The camp was canceled and I was
promised a refund check. Then the communication stopped. I never
received any money and Mr. Smith did not return mails or calls. In
Feb. 2004 I filed a claim with the better business bureau of NJ and
this week I receive a letter saying they regret they are unable to
mediate an adjustment and then refer me to the Ocean County Consumer
Affairs Office.”
“Yes, I also was victimized by this and every
phone call to Mr. Smith or his assistant was ignored. The only
support phone call inquiry which was returned to me was their ISP
for the conference server which allegedly "hosts" their oracle
certification lectures. At this point I am going to dispute the
charge with my card issuer AND demand a refund via certified mail to
lay the groundwork for a small claims court suit.”
“In 2002 we signed up for the 8i boot camp
which was supposed to include the 9i upgrade course for free. It has
been 18 months and many, many, many emails and promises not met. Mr.
Smith and Oraclexxxxxx are a total fraud.”
