Wildflowers Trading Company FRAUD! RIP-OFF! Ordered $50 worth of merchandise never delivered...I DID RECEIVE A REFUND!! Here is how. Vestal New York

My original order was on May 13th 2003, for the ammount of $48.40 (my credit card was charged on May 20th). I ordered a Grateful dead plush bear & some baby clothes for a friend's new baby.

After waiting over 3 weeks for delivery I took it upon myself to e-mail WTC looking for order tracking. I waited the 48 hours response time (as instructed) and received no response, I e-mailed them again...no response. At this point I tried to find a phone number through MSN yellow pages, the closest I came was Wildflower trading company (no s).

I called and spoke to a very nice woman who explained they get at least 2 or 3 calls a week looking for the aparently fraudulent wildflowers company. She gave me the phone number (267) 295-8629, that her husband found after doing some research due to the high volume of mistaken callers (Obviously alot of us made the same mistake...lol).

The phone number is for the correct Wildflowers Trading Co. in Vestal, N.Y. but ALWAYS goes straight to a voice mail. No...They don't respond to that either!

Anyway, I then did some research of my own and came across this website...I was shocked at what I read. How could this company still be in business after ripping off so many of us?? I now knew my package would definately never arrive. I decided to e-mail them one more time before I reported them...this is my exact e-mail to them:

--- I have e-mailed you numerous times with no reply. This is a notice of cancelation of my order. I have researched your long list of unsatisfied customers and am shocked your fraudulent site has not been shut down. If you do not contact me by 6/11/03, I will take action against your company including contacting NY Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, CT Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, and Chief Ken Rounds of The Vestal PD. I assure you that I will not rest until I recieve a FULL REFUND of $48.85. ---

Although they NEVER actually contacted me, they DID credit my card for the total $48.85 on June 9th!!! Anyway, due to the fact that this company has obviously ripped off MANY unsuspecting people, I decided to still report them to the CT & NY Attorney Generals office, the Consumer Protection Agency and the Better Business Bureau. THESE FRAUDS MUST BE SHUT DOWN!

I was lucky, many people are not. Feel free to ake me any questions through the rebuttal key
