I have been calling Americap Office since Fri morning 8/24/07and leaving a message each time for anyone to return my call in regards to my refund. Not a word from anyone............. Lisa I'll try number you provided as Jerry home # now. Guess what??? The number has been disconnected or No longer in service SURPRISE SURPRISE.

Ideally, I'd like to give Chris an ultimatum - he tells me the date I can either have a confirmed gift certificate or a full refund - in my hands, not a promise of check in the mail. If I don't receive either by the date he picks, then I report him to the attorney general.
It seems to me that taking money and not providing the goods is not just a scam, but it is illegal, right? I got this definition of larceny from the web: (http://faculty.ncwc.edu/toconnor/293/293lect11.htm)
larceny (theft) by trick -- con games, schemes, and swindles
larceny (theft) by deception -- stings, scams, price altering
larceny (theft) by fraud -- inside trading, telemarketing, credit card
The same site says: Grand larceny, a felony, involves property generally worth more than $400 on average, but the dividing line differs in each state. Petty larceny, a misdemeanor, generally involves anything worth less than $400 on average.
Would the rest of those listed be willing to go along with this? I wonder if it makes any difference if we all report to the attorney general or if this would just be a drop in the bucket for them. It might help with Chris as well to let him know that there isn't just one of us who is going to report him but all of them.
Marty - is there anyway to find out if Adrianna is all set - she hasn't posted on here since July. The rest of you, please let me know if you'd like to join me. We may have all been suckers, but maybe since there are 5 of us we can see if we can exert some pressure. thanks, Lisa gmartin79@comcast.net
Supposedly all contracts are mailed out on Wednesday which would be for me Aug. 29. If that's true, I should get my contract around the first part of Sept. I will keep you posted. As soon as I get my contract I will contact you and let you know. Jane
