Laplink, Inc., advertised a $170 rebate in conjunction with a retailer, Fry's Electronics, Inc., for a software purchase. The rebate promised in print that "Rebate checks will be mailed in 10-12 weeks." I complied with all the rebate documentation requirements. This all started on June 19, 2002, when I was living in California. No check has ever been received.
I have contacted the company repeatedly and have been told various things, such as "Your payment is scheduled for the December check run" (it never arrived), and subsequently "...we are currently in a tight cash position...", etc. Meanwhile, while they were months behind in the promise to pay my rebate, they continued to advertise additional rebate offers, and they are still doing so. They presumably are also unwilling or unable to pay those, as well. (See examples of continued rebate advertising at the URLs listed at bottom of this message.)
This seems to be deceptive advertising, and their non-payment seems to be breach of contract. I filed a complaint on February 1, 2003, with the FTC on its Consumer Complaint Form at
https://rn.ftc.gov/dod/wsolcq$.startup?Z_ORG_CODE=PU01
but have have heard nothing about it.
All I want is the $170 rebate, as advertised. They have not fulfilled their promise.
