rip off from computer personalities

I am writing this on behalf of my mother-in-law. The first of FEB. 2001 my mother-in-law ordered a computer from Computer Personalities over the internet. She had heard great things about this company from her brother who already had one of their computers. The computer my mother-in-law was ordering was supposed to be the top of the line with all the extras. This computer was going to be a graduation present for my sister-in-law who is disabled from muscular dystrophy. All she wanted for grasduation was a computer because she can't go out and do the usuall things a teenager does,so you see why this would of been special. Anyway to get to the point she ordered a computer was promised it would be here in 4 weeks after she sent them a cashiers check for over $2000.00. Well after 4 weeks still no computer. She went to the website and was informed they had filed bankrupsy. Apparently they filed less than 2 weeks after she ordered the computer. However they cashed the check 2 days after they received it. She now has no computer from these people and they have her money. She is currently tring to resolve this through the courts in PA but we live in CA. So if anyone knows how else to resolve this or has had a simular problem please feel free to email me @ SalemHLS@excite.com
