Internet fraud, here is the poster child. www.fishfinder.com

The site looks real good. I thought it would be a safe place to order from. But I was wrong. I placed my order 21 days ago, they advertised 2 day delivery. They charged my credit card the day I placed the order. But no fish finder came. A week later I sent an e-mail requesting info, no reply came. I called the customer service number. It was nothing but a recording telling me to send an e-mail. I sent another e-mail. Another week went by, no response. No info, nothing�. Another 5 days went by. I finally sent them an e-mail saying if I didn�t get a response of some kind by 5:00pm today I would trash talk them, on every fishing site I could find. The deadline passed so, I�m trash talking�

Pass this to everyone you know. Don�t order anything from www.fishfinder.com

.

Contact your credit card company, file a complaint, and your money should be refunded, no problem at all. Major credit card companies are typically very helpful with resolving such issues as what you described.

Did you order directly from fishfinder.com, or was it from one of the sites they're linking to? I could find no contact info direct to the actual fishfinder.com site.

I would second Scott's advice with the credit card company. Hope it works out for you.

Yea, thats a click through site. It is setup just to send people to the other sites. They get a few pennies for each time they send someone to another site that could be just as bogus.

Sorry Man.

From Wikipedia:

Main article: Pay per click

Pay per click advertising or PPC advertising is an arrangement in which webmasters (operators of web sites), acting as publishers, display clickable links from advertisers, in exchange for a charge per click. As this industry evolved, a number of advertising networks developed which acted as middlemen between these two groups (publishers and advertisers). Each time a (believed to be) valid web user clicks on an ad, the advertiser pays the advertising network, who in turn pays the publisher a share of this money. This revenue sharing system is seen as an incentive for click fraud.

Thanks for the info on pay per click sites. I never knew exactly how they worked, but first encountered them when a well known craftsman in a little nitch hobby industry had let his domain name (actually HIS real name too) expire and it was promptly scarfed up and used as a re-direct to one of these pay per click sites listing related business' in that industry. Of course, the domain name was for sale back to the original guy for an inflated price I'm sure. Talk about some ruffled feathers. I wonder if fishfinder.com at one time might have been owned by a legetimate company in the marine electronics biz?

which one did you click on?
