- Terry,
- I visited them several years ago. They seemed to be a legit small company,
- and seemed to know their business. But in these price cutting days they
- may have gone under.
- 1. Contact NYC Better Business Bureau.
- 2. If you paid by credit card, write to the card co., and tell them
- (don't ask) to stop payment: that you have not received services paid for.
-
- 3. You might try their non-800 number: 212/627-4485 (in the ad).
-
- Good luck!
