It took a week to get a response from the OR Attorney General and as expected it was a canned response. The best part of it was it was the WRONG canned response! It is at least of 5th generation copy, the letters are barely readable and it is crooked on the page.

The introductory line reads: Re: Nigerian Scam Huh?

The salutations reads: Dear Oregon Consumer: Did they glance at the address they were mailing it to? OK, I’ll give this one ’cause I did purchase my “goods” in Oregon.

The body is obviously all wrong because they thought I was complaining about being ripped off by Nigerians.

Then there is the 3 page enclosure about how to recognize these sorts of money laundering scams. Didn’t they think that I already knew how to recognize the scam? I mean, if I figured it out enough to report it to them…..

4 days and still nothing yet from the OR Attorney General, I imagine it will take a while and all it will be is a canned response.

The web_hosting_troubles group at Yahoo has been slow. Today someone joined just to chime with his offer of low cost hosting. Geez, kick a group when they are down why don’t you. I unsubscribed. I think it is time to get over it and move on. This is not the first time I have lost money on something and I’m sure it will not be the last. There goes a perfectly good domain name too.

Nothing yet from the OR Attorney General….

Someone invited me to join the web_hosting_troubles group at Yahoo, lots of other THC Screwees there. I signed up, and even posted a reply there. Boy howdy is that a pain in the butt to use. Not literally use, but finding your way around through all the ads, sheeesh.

Add that to Mike McBride’s Forum on this subject and I now have officially too many places to post and not enough time to do any of them justice.

Now that I’ve said it again, I don’t particularly care for THC Screwee as a label, but at least it rhymes. 😀 Anybody else got an idea? We need a logo , maybe a slogan…shirts, mugs, mousepads 😉
