After reading all the complaints about Amazon.com ripoffs I think folks should send a duplicate email to Washington's Attorney General Rob Mckenna, issue your complaint and refer him to all the people being scammed by Amazon.com at www.ripoffreport.com site.
Being an elected official it is his job to go after predators like this. The only reason not to is if he is beholden to Amazon.com as a campaign contributor. This information can be obtained easily enough and if that is the case it is time to vote him out.
If they must suspend a persons account then they should be paid interest on this money at a substantial rate. We know this money isn't held in a cookie jar so it must be making money in interest somewhere. So why is Amazon.com allowed to hang onto it for the interest when i can think of no other company is allowed to do it.
Just google Rob Mckenna and you will get all the pertinent information on how to contact him. Let's flood him with letters, phone calls, and emails and he won't have a choice in the matter.
I remember in his campaign he vowed to fight internet fraud and scammers. Let's put him to the test.
