Magnepan MGCC1 & shysters


Back in April, I sent some guy $600 USD for a virtually new Magnepan MGCC1 in oak/white. Since then, I've gotten nothing (except a lot of broken promises). I have urgently requested a refund many times since September 8th since I was getting laid-off and the fellow didn't know if he'd be able to deliver the speaker. Well, many different promised dates to send out that refund have come and gone and I still have nothing.

This person is located in Canada and payment was sent via USPS International Priority Mail (I have a dated receipt). Any ideas to put an end to the hollow promises and get my money back??? This fellow claims to develop the Magnepan website and be an attorney in Canada. Do I pressure Magnepan? Do I file a complaint with the Legal Society of Upper Canada? Do I file a mail fraud complaint with the USPS? All of the above?? Something else???

George you are most patent.

I am certain that Lawyers are held to as high a standard in Canada as in the USA. If they are called before their "professional review board" with proof of illegal activity, they may be barred from practicing law.

Hopefully Cornfed, who is an expert on law, will see this thread and advise you as to the proper routes and wording. I assume a certified or registered letter to the seller advising him of your intent to take this to the next level would be a start.

This seller must protect his reputation in order to continue practicing law. His honesty and reputation are judged by his actions both in public and private transaction.
