"Order placed 8/31 to qualify for $300 Lenovo rebate. Three days later, they said they couldn't assure me that they would be able to fill the order, but would get back to me in a day. No call, so I called them twice in the next three days.
On 9/11, I discovered that they had already billed my card on 9/1, before they had even ordered the product from their "middleman" but they still were unable to commit to fulfilling the order. They unilaterally canceled the order, without asking me and I have filed a DISPUTE of their premature & fraudulent charge.
They claimed they were buying from resellers who might have already claimed the rebate, although that was expressly PROHIBITED according to the terms of the CONSUMER rebate. In other words, the price they advertised (without any mention of the rebate) was evidently AFTER REBATE, not before.
Smells of FRAUD from start to finish!!!"
