To Congressman Dick Armey:
I'm not big on writing government officials but I'm getting pretty fed up
with the abuse by Foreign Manufacturers in regards to Rebates that they
promise but seldom if ever pay.
I have to fight for almost every rebate on Computers and related
peripheral computer parts.
I recently received a rebate that I had to fight for twelve months.
I am currently fighting with custservice2@qps-inc.com  to get a long
overdue rebate.
There are a few exceptions like Microsoft, Digital Research and Symantec
that perform well on their promised rebates.
I chase after my $20.00 and up rebates but I�ve just had to write of
several thousand dollars as lost to liars.
If one of the Network new shows did a segment on this subject the
response would shut down all the 800 phone lines nation wide and the
entire Internet E-mail community would overload with people that have
been systematically been cheated for many years.
I�d like to see something done to bring these fraud pros into line and
make them keep their promises.
Banning their products from importation into the US would get their
attention.
I think you can get a good overview of the problem if you just circulate
an inquiry form throughout several of the Government offices that asks if
those individuals feel that they�ve been cheated on rebates.
I�m hoping that the American public will once again stand up for ethical
business.
