I am yet another victim of the Wirefly Rebate Scam. I am only discovering now after wondering where my rebate was that many others are experiencing the same issues. I jumped through all the proper hoops to obtain the promised $180.00 rebate for my Razr phone. I even printed off calendars so I would not miss that magical 180-210 day window. I like most others checked the website only to see that my rebate was denied for not sending in the right bill. Not only did I send in the right bill but I highlighted everything that was required so they could easily see that all was included. Now I call numbers where I get automated service and promises of a "postcard" that I am to receive explaining the problem and how to correct it. I wish some advocate group would step up and help all of us. This company is making millions by deceiving customers who are holding up their end of the bargain.

Nicole, sorry to hear you were also burned by InPhonic. There are some things you can do which may help.

1)You can file a complaint with the BBB. Go to www.BBB.org and click on "File a Complaint" and then click on "Consumer Complaints".

2)You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. Go to www.ftc.gov and click on "For Consumers" and then click on "File a Complaint". I think the consistent pattern of denying rebates falls under deceptive or unfair business practices and is in violation of Section 5 of the FTC Act. Let the FTC know what happened to you.

3)You can also file a complaint with the Attorney General of Washington D.C. Go to http://occ.dc.gov and click on "Services" and then click on "Consumer Complaint Form" and tell them, along with many others, what InPhonic has done.

Good luck.
