Halfmania scammed me!
I completed the two necessary offers for an iPod shuffle. I paid $45.00 ($40 for iPod + $5.00 for shipping) via PayPal on March 5, 2007. This is the only payment choice you get. A week later I checked the status which said: "Uh oh! Sorry, this item has been put on hold by Customer Service. Click here for more information." Clicking there does not give you any information; it just takes you back to the product page. I emailed them three times, but never got a response. I used the "contact us" button on their website; I replied to the email I got from them stating my product had been ordered (HalfMania@my-account-info.com); and I used the email address that PayPayl has listed as their customer service email (orders@gratisinternet.com). Gratis Internet is the company that payment is sent to when you click on the "pay via paypal" button on Halfmania.com's website. I then found an address for them (Halfmania.com, Ben Franklin Station, P.O. Box 14461, Washington DC 20044-4461) listed at the bottom of their Terms & Conditions page and sent them a letter. I sent it certified mail (USPS # 70053110000011602638), return receipt so I would know when they received it. According to the post office, the letter has not been picked up and has been sitting in their mailbox since March 23, 2007. My PayPal transaction details for this $45 transaction shows a phone number for Gratis Internet: 202.350.9919. This number rings 4 times then gets picked up by voicemail with this message: "The person at extension 719 is unavailable. Please leave your message after the tone." The message I left at this number has not been returned. In addition, the email address I registered with Halfmania.com has been receiving about 20 spam messages every day. At first these messages had a link to remove your address from the sender's list. Now I have been receiving spam with no removal link. Also, much of the spam I am now getting is of a sexually explicit nature. This was a $45 lesson that not only is nothing free, it's not half-priced either. |

Service a law suite to the fuckers, with the intentional scam, you could possibly recieve punitive too (which bankruptcy can't get rid of). You may not be able to get much, but just servicing the people with a lawsuit would be fun.

I agree with Seth. Not enough people prosecute things like this and just roll with the punches. They've pulled off so many scams and just keep changing their name.

Actually. You probably won't have any legal recourse in this case because once you signed up on their site you agreed to their terms of service. And if you read that you'll see the scam they run.
I recommend before you sign up for anything to always read the terms of service and privacy policy. They are legally required to describe the kind of service they are. -------------------- "Ah, y'know it's funny, these people they go to sleep, they think everything's fine, everything's good.
