Canon And Continental Promotion Group Rebate Fraud - Intentionally Late Rebate Checks Ripoff Tempe Arizona

Canon rebate on selected printers when purchased with a notebook computer. Rebates go through Continental Promotion Group in Tempe, Arizona which is also found on the web as www.rebatestatus.com.

Received e-mail confirmation on 7-13-2006 that rebates totaling $90 had been processed and mailed. Was told to expect a delay of 30 days for mail from Arizona to southern California!

Received checks on 11-3-2006. Checks had a date of 6-13-2006 and a void date of 9-11-2006. Yes I received the checks almost two months after the void date!

Their e-mails do not state that the checks have a void date. Had their e-mails so stated I surely would have been on top of this. This is an obvious intentional delay by CPG to avoid paying. Or an unintentional problem with their check production and mailing. I think it's the former.

I find in searching here and across the web that there are many who have experienced rebate fraud when CPG is involved in the process. I question any denial by the major companies such as Canon that uses CPG as a rebate services provider. I have filed with the local BBB in Tempe, the Arizona Attorney General and the FTC.

This growing problem with rebate services needs federal investigation and federal laws.
