I posted back on March 3rd about how fanworksoutlet.com ripped me off. I had paid a little over $98.00 for a new ceiling fan. I paid for it on my Discover Card. I encountered delay after delay and excuse after excuse from their site. Finally, I tried to cancel the order, but go no response. Then the site went down and the phone numbers were disconnected. A Google search revealed that I wasn't the only one who was ripped off. My odds of getting my money back from Fanworks was slim to none, so I took it up with Discover. It had been over their 30 day limit. But, I was hoping that since I had several e-mails between Fanworks and I, where they kept stringing me along, Discover might make an allowance for me. Well, they came through. After an investigation, Discover Card credited my account for the money taken by Fanworks. I hope that they will go after these people. I think that the credit card companies will carry more weight and have a better chance. I feel bad for the people who lost hundreds, if not thousands of dollars when Fanworks charged them and never sent their fans. I wish that there would be criminal charges against these people. They were taking money for orders they never intended to fill.
