Buyer beware: e-worlddirect aka M & B Supplies Inc aka Upstate Computers Corp

My wife made a purchase from e-worlddirect. They charged her credit card and changed order status to "processed". 2 weeks later, nothing. She contacts them, is promised the order will ship ASAP. Week later contacts them again and is again told the order will ship ASAP. A shipping label is created with UPS. We wait several days, UPS shows that packaged has still not been submitted. We contact BBB. Company tells BBB that they're very sorry and that they will issue a refund. Wife talks to them on the phone and they tell her they will credit back the order. It's now over 2 months since initial order and no refund has been made.

Now here's the fun part. Credit card charge was not from e-worlddirect, but from M & B Supplies, Inc, a computer supplies company in Monroe with listed contact being Sam Krausz. On a different site, president of company is listed as Sara Krausz. On a different site, when searching by phone number listed next to the credit card charge, 845-782-4306, the company is now Upstate Computers Corp. with president Sara Krausz.

I wonder, maybe my wife should've used her Jewish name when contacting this company.

  1. Contact the credit card company right away and dispute the charge. Since it's now more than two months, it may be too late, but you have nothing to lose by trying.

  2. I just did. Citi, unlike BOA, has very nice online charge dispute form. You fill out what, where, when and why and don't need to deal with idiot phone reps.

    internet scams.

    They can't get caught, because only "modern" Jews use this shtus anyway, and whom would the beis din beleive? You or a chassidishe fella?

  5. Then you should talk to your asshole friend J Ostr who kept promising to ship the stuff and didn't. Then you bastards lied to both BBB and my wife about reversing charges and never did. The only way I finally got the money was after telling the credit card to reverse charges. You're lucky I didn't get FTC and the Attorney General involved and didn't tell them about the 2, or is it 3, companies' interesting setup.

  6. I wonder if my wife would've been treated better if she would've used her Jewish name when contacting customer service. Then again, you people don't seem to care much about who you screw over.

  10. It's here to prevent you and your company from screwing other people. And don't quote stuff when you only apply it to your customers and not to yourself.
