Tiger Direct Complaint - Worst Rip-Offs on the Net Today ! - Computer Haedware and Software
Computer Haedware and Software - Complaint
I bought an Athlon 3200XP Processor and an AMD Motherboard from Tiger Direct.
Both were RETAIL priced , no OEM< versions!
Naturally both were 'backordered' AFTER they said on the phone that they were 'in stock'. They charged my credit card the day they took the order.
They sent me the OEM version of the processor which is always lower priced than the retail version. This company actually changed their web page to look like BOTH processors were the same price!
I was aware of many complaints of fraudulent activity so I had 'screenshots' of the pages I ordered the parts from.
After calling numerous times to try to get a refund and being denied (motherboard was also DOA)I posted a bad review on Resellerratings.com and the next moring shortly6 after 7AM I was awakened by Humberto Vallejo calling me from TigerDirect.
Know what this man said to me ?.... "What will it take to make you go away."
(This company also billed my credit card TWICE for the processor.)
Anyway,we agreed on a refund of my order, plus shipping AND the company did a 3way call to my credit card company to get the second charge taken off.
The moral is : Tiger Direct are complete and total rip-off's AND liars also. IT borders on actually being a completely fraudulent company!
The rebate scams are horrendous. TigerDirect also OWNS 'Onrebate.com'...so ...75% of their customers NEVER get any rebates.
Plus...fraudulent charges on credit cards are RAMPANT from Tiger Direct.
Consumers BEWARE...avoid them at ANY cost!
check their ratings out at: ResellerRatings.Com...hit the 'LOW' category to get an idea of what they do to people!

File a complaint against Tiger Direct with the Florida Attorney General's office at http://myfloridalegal.com/Contact.nsf/Contact?OpenForm&Section=Economic_Crimes
"Complaints are used to develop information about patterns of business activity which might indicate the need for formal investigation or legal action by our office. We will keep your correspondence for future reference. If a pattern is discovered, what originated as a private dispute between buyer and seller may become a matter of broad public interest and thus warrant the Attorney General’s intervention under the state’s consumer protection laws."
Also file a complaint at www.bbb.org and on the website of your state's attorney general's office. You may also wish to inform the FTC at www.ftc.gov.
I just won a small claims suit against Tiger Direct myself.
