LikomUSA monitor ripoff rebate fiasco *UPDATE ..thank you! I got my refund! ..Don't bother with BBB
On October 30, 2001 I purchased a LikomUSA 19 monitor from Fry's Electronics. At that time LikomUSA was offering a $50 rebate. I filled out the rebate form per Likom's instructions and mailed the form October 31, 2001. The form asks that the purchaser attach a copy of their receipt, serial number sticker and bar code (UPC) sticker from the box. I did comply with their instructions. I have tried calling them and their automated phone system leads me to an extension that no one answered. I even sent an e-mail, to which no response has come. after a week. So I have written to the following agencies:
California Department of Justice
Public Inquiry Unit
P.O. Box 944255
Sacramento, CA 94244-2550
Steve Cooley
District Attorney's Office
County of Los Angeles
210 W. Temple St.
Los angeles, CA 90012-3210
Edgar Edwards - City Investigator
Deputy A. D. Hall - Sheriff's Department Liason
Business Relations Department - City of Industry
15651 E. Stafford St.
City of Industry, CA 91744
In my letter I also includes this web site and a print out of the complaint list regarding LikomUSA.
If anyone else is having, or has had a problem with LikomUSA, I would suggest writing to each of these agencies. Do not bother with the Better Business Bureau. When these agencies write companies, the companies are far more likely to actually respond. And always make sure that the letter is neat, professional, matter-of-fact and to the point. Of course send copies to Likom.

STOP! ..before you think about using the Better Business Bureau (BBB)... click here to see how other consumers were victimized by the BBB's false or misleading information. Don't be fooled! It has been reported, when there are thousands of complaints and other investigations underway by authorities, the BBB has no choice but to finally give an UNsatisfactory rating to a BBB member business that is paying the BBB big membership fees every year. When a business is reported that is NOT a BBB member, BBB files WILL more likely show an UNsatisfactory rating, then reportedly shake down that company to become a member of the BBB. One positive thing about the BBB is, either way, if a business has an unsatisfactory rating with the BBB, you can be sure, the business is bad. But what about all those BBB member businesses that had complaints filed against them? Consumers never get to hear about them. What about the BBB advertising to the public? Is this a false and misleading perception they are giving about consumer confidence when dealing with a business? Click here to understand more of what consumers and business alike are saying about the BBB. You decide. ..Remember. The BBB membership is not earned, it's paid for!

I have positive news regarding my problem with getting my $50 rebate from Likom. As noted, I wrote to the California State Attorney General, the County of Los Angeles D.A.'s office and the Business Relations Department for the City of Industry. I included copies of all the complaints posted on this web site and you know what? ..all those reports helped!
I GOT MY $50 REBATE CHECK AROUND MARCH 12, 2002!!!!
Do not bother dealing with the Better Business Bureau, they are paper tigers. Companies only respond when actual governmental organizatiosn turn on them. Also, these government agencies come down hard when there is an on going, systematic pattern of potential wrong doing.
