Well, I just want to report that Doreen came through for me and I received all of the promised refund checks. I would NEVER do business with this company again, but to be fair, after all of the trouble they DID come through. I think Doreen is awesome and the ONLY one who tried to help - if she was the company president they'd probably be off these complaint boards and websites! UNLESS THE CHECKS BOUNCE, this will conclude my complaint. Thank you Rip Off Report and Doreen Dennis!

Maybe she doesn't "remember", but I think it would be obvious to anyone that Tawanna isn't the type of name I would just pull out of a hat. I also don't know how I would get her extension 5350 if SHE didn't give it to me. It's not like I can find Inphonic's telephone directory online. I have left her six messages - so saying that she's never received a message from me is an un-truth. Very bad business. But on a more positive note, I appreciate your offer if you are really sincere. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and a chance to get it straightened out. I will send you my information, and track what happens on this site. Thank you.

Ken, I talked to Tawanna about your report and below is her email reply to me. I honestly don't know what the problem might have been, but I ask that you try calling her again, or send me an email with your full customer information and one of us will find your check information for you. If you have received your check in the mean time, please let us know. ========================== Sent: Tuesday, April 25, 2006 10:12 AM To: Doreen Subject: RE: Ken from Kissimmee Importance: High ======================================= Doreen, I do not recall this customer. When I speak to customers, I give them my direct number not our rebate 800 number. There would be no reason for this if I did not call them back. I check my voice mail everyday and have not had any calls from this customer. Is there any other information regarding him. There is no way I can find his order with just his 1st name. I copied the URL and it does not give me his full name, order number nor an email address [to this web page]. I tried a name search with his 1st name and stated but he could not be found. Tawanna Financial Operations Thanks, Doreen ddennis @inphonic. com

Just got an email back from the Federal Trade Commission. Here is part of what I was told: "Promoters of rebate or coupon plans use their independent business judgment in offering such plans to distributors or to the public. However, if a company decides to offer a rebate or coupon plan, it must fully disclose the material terms and conditions of the offer and must provide the promised rebate. If a company systematically fails to do so, it may be engaging in deceptive or unfair practices in violation of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act." It also said that it will open a full investigation if they see that there is a widespread problem. SO PLEASE FILE YOUR OWN COMPLAINTS AT FTC.GOV!! I also filed a complaint with the Washington DC Attorney General. If you want any justice, I'd encourage you to do the same.
