Complaint Review: Angela Curtis Sarl Atoll Le Tourne Intrnic.com - Langoiran(Le Tourne) France

Mr. Jeffrey, It is appalling that experiences like this one occur on the web. Unfortunately, due to the open nature of the Internet, any person can own a website and offer to sell their services. Since this is the case, it is not possible for Aplus.Net to monitor the activities of our entire customer base, nor can we claim responsibility for those activities. Our purpose is to provide a product to our customers and they are then responsible for the use of that product. If a person rents a car and chooses to use it as transportation in a robbery, the robbery is not the fault of the rental car company. I apologize that we cannot do more for you in this matter. Reporting this to the authorities would be the best course of action. Thank you very much for your understanding. Sincerely, Amanda Rusich Online Marketing Coordinator Aplus.Net

I also urge anyone else who has been robbed by the Angela Psychic scam to file a complaint with the appropriate government agencies. In the U.S. the web address is www.econsumer.gov. It lists contact information for other countries as well. The French government site is http://www.finances.gouv.fr/DGCCRF/, which lists contact information to file a similar report with them.

What follows is my complaint to A-Plus.net with their response first. I urge anyone who purchased a reading they did not receive to e-mail [email protected] with your story, then maybe they will shut the site down and save someone else some money. From: "Aplus.Net Abuse Department" To : [email protected] Subject : Re: Internet scam at hosted site https://pro16.abac.com/atoll1/cgi-bin/ang ela.cgi Date : Fri, 07 Oct 2005 14:54:59 -0700 Hello, Unfortunately there is no way for us how to check all that history. We don't know if there was an agreement for what period the astrology reading should be prepared. Aplus.Net cannot take side in such complicated situations which can be most fairly resolved by the proper authorities. Though if you have some strong proofs you can always contact us to further investigate the issue.

The truth is that you have NOT delivered according to your own promised terms. I purchased a reading on 9/16 through a web page that said I would receive it in 2-3 days. Your confirmation letter said 8-10 days. It is now considerably past either promised delivery date and I have received nothing. Your answer(below) to my previous inquiry does not specify when I should expect you to satisfy your obligation. With that in mind, I am setting a deadline of 5:00pm GMT+2 on Monday 10/3, to receive my order. >Jeff. >Again there was no response. > >It is my experience that Angela Curtis(if she exists), >Sarl Atoll Le Tourne, >Intrnic.com(Registrant: ATOLL, 1 route de Bordeaux, LANGOIRAN, 33550, FRANCE Administrative Contact, Technical Contact: Lamahieu, danielle, [email protected], Phone: 05.56.67.19.82, Fax: 05.56.67.19.82), >Astro-group.com(Registrant: Alexandre Baronnet, 1 route de Bordeaux, Langoiran, 33550, FR, Administrative Contact , Technical Contact: ATOLL, [email protected], Phone: +33556674199) >and any and all other entities operating under other unknown aliases which are connected to this merchant, are involved in an illegal entity in which they charge for services, then do not deliver.
