*sigh*
I was hoping (as I'm sure was everyone else) to let this thread die, as there has yet to be an applicable argument pressed against my stance. However, thinly veiled attacks on my character call for response (although maybe I'm just being vain).
First I will point out that
at no point did I suggest to anyone taking action against Axiontech. I suggested they check their financial institution to make sure they were not victims of illegal business practices. Why? Because I have had companies charge my CC, sit on the money while intrest acrues, and finally, after a few weeks, say "Oh, we changed our minds, here's your money back." Except I'm still out the interest. I wish to God somebody back then had had the courage to risk being branded "blood-sucker" or "troll" to let others know they
do have rights in cases like this. Secondly,
I clearly stated, from the begining, this was probably not the case with Axiontech. I merely thought people should know, just in case.

It's funny. There is only one person on this page of the thread not calling people names. I guess telling people of ways of defend themselves financially makes a person a blood-sucking troll. I remember back in the day when people who started making baseless accusations and name-calling because of a single post (and it's subsequent defense) were the trolls. Go figure.
I presume 'back in the day' people were expected to know the rules too.
What about ETHICS?
If you question whether a deal is real or a mistake, call or write the company, and ask. If it is a valid deal, post it. If it isn't, DO NOT post it, and DO NOT complain about it.
If you think your post may be unethical, it probably is. DON'T POST IT. If you don't care about ethics, FIND ANOTHER FORUM. There are plenty of sites devoted to these kinds of activities. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM! If that is what you want to do, PLEASE GO THERE. If you insist on doing it, here, you may become an involuntary lurker.
An excellent point, to be sure, except I did not post an unethical deal. I posted info on how to deal with unethical businesses. When I
do have something unethical to post here, I will remember the helpful guidance you have shared here, and post it elsewhere (or maybe not at all...). In the meantime I have every intention of continuing to help people and sharing knowledge they can use to protect themselves.

I am sick of these posts clogging the forum with "ways to beat the system". It is funny how one guy can try and make a way for many to try and beat down the vendors who sometimes actually do put out "Hot Deals".
Although I believe I addressed this in the begining of this post, I would be interested in finding out where I tried to "make a way for many to try and beat down the vendors who sometimes actually do put out "Hot Deals"". I mean, I
do wear glasses, so my eyesight isn't the best.
It's kind of strange that even after clarifying my stance, that you guys still chose to attack me (okay, maybe I was a
little condecending, but I had just been called a blood-sucker and troll--I feel they were very restrained responses). I have a hard time believing you guy's don't want people knowing how to defend themselves. It seems more than a little schill-like. Oh well, no matter, maybe now this thread can die in peace.
