- Good Luck getting your money back from that bunch of losers. That has got to
- be the most fouled up company I have ever dealt with in my life. I am now
- in the process of trying to get a credit for a modem and ATI card which I
- ordered, and tried to cancel 3 times. The idiots FED EXED them to me anyway.
- I did not accept the junk, and they once again said they would credit my
- account. I just got my Master Card bill for $515 from GW2K. I just got
- off the phone with the bone heads and they can't seem to figure out what
- happened. Well they figured it out enough to charge my card! I'm now
- waiting (again) for a call back from the jerks. They have to call Fed Ex
- to find out what happened. Can you believe this is a computer company?
- They must be using their own computers to keep their records which would
- explain it all.
- I AM SICK OF ALL THIS CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
