: Hi Everyone,
: I haven't posted in awhile... Has anyone heard of a Ken Lucke from Oregon? He owns 'The Next Step..stained glass stepping stones'. I ordered a custom maid stone in July of last year to honor my parents and paid in full $160.00. He still has not sent it nor has he responded to any emails or phone calls. I thought that maybe he was sick so I had friend send a email for an order and she got an answer with a few days. Makes me sooo mad. How can people get away with this stuff. Anyone know of anything I can do besides Better Business Bureau? '
: Thanks, Cindi
Hi Cindi,
This sounds awful. Hope you used a credit card. That's the way to go when ordering on the net. I would go to the credit card company and ask for a refund. Maybe they can get somewhere with him. I would also write him a registered letter and complain and ask for my money back or the goods.
Unfortunately I heard on the news tonight that internet fraud is second only to identity theft in consumer complaints. Speaking of which, I do think there is someplace you can complain. Do a search at www.google.com and enter with quotes and a plus sign like this: "consumer complaint" + "internet"
Do let us know what happens. Good luck!!!!
