Dow Superstore - dowsuperstore.com Beware of Fraud, Pay Pal Fraud, Criminal Fraud: Pay companies through pay pal and pay pal says they are fraud. Internet/Minneapolis, Minnesota
I work for a major online media company and we handle the online advertising for thousands of clients. Not once have I ever dealt with a situation or a customer like Chris from Dow Superstore Inc., aka www.dowsuperstore.com. This company illegally and fraudulently paid us for advertising using a pay pal account. I want to warn other media outlets and buyers about this comapny. Pay Pal told us that we should should press criminal charges so we are. In the mean time, if you are allowing this company to advertise or if you are buying from them, beware because they are scam artisits.
Dow Superstore paid JP Commnications Inc for advertising through pay pal. Pay pall released the funds into our account and we processed the funds to Dow's account. We gave Dow Superstore Inc. $1,000 in pay per click funds and we started designing an email for them which cost $800. Services were
given to Dow.
A few days later, Pay Pal took money out of our account telling us that
Dow was a fraud company and that they did not have any funds in their account.
On July 9, 2009, Dow emailed my company and told me that he sent us
$1800 for advertising on Top Ten Wholesale and for our company to
design and send an email. Pay Pal cleared the funds and we added $1,000
to his pay per click account and spent hours designing and testing out
the email he paid $800 for. 2-3 days later, Pay Pal took the $1800 out
of our account and said that the payment Dow sent us was a fraudulent
payment. I contacted Dow, and Chris told me it was an error. He then
told me that he would have the funds to us shortly and never paid. On
August 21st, 2009, Chris told me that he would send us a check for the
advertising seeing as that he already used the funds up. Dow never sent
the check and he owes JP Communications $1800 for PPC funds spent and
time spent on designing, coding, and testing email.
I have had multiple conversations with Chris Dow and one conversation with Jimmy. They both pretended that it was an error and that they would have the funds back to me. On August 21, 2009, I called Chris Dow from www.dowsuperstore.com and he finally picked up the phone. He told me that he would send me a check for $1,000 to start making good on his bill. I was at trade shows most of the month of August and returned on Sept. 2. Dow Superstore did not send the check. It does not take more than 5 business days for a check to get mailed.
If anyone is interested in learning more, I have saved all our email contacts so I can prove to you that the owners and others staff memebers at Dow Superstore Inc. are liars and scam arisits. Here are just some of the email conversations between Chris Dow and myself:
I will call you monday afternoon.

In short, publisher, buyers and sellers beware. If he is willing to scam a service provider that helps bring his company business, I can only imagine what he is willing to do to people that buy from him.
