- James, this is the best of all possible reasons for purchasing with
- your credit card. US law lets consumers delay payment until the problem
- is worked out. I have heard that some credit cards require merchants
- to comply with a 30-day no-questions-asked return policy.

- Check your state attorney general's consumer affairs office. Also, try
- federal authorities, such as the FBI (may be criminal wire fraud).
