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???

If he/she claims to be an attorney, I know in the USA you can complain to the appropriate attorney disiciplinary board, i.e. the state bar where the attorney is registered. Attorneys are held to a higher standard when dealing with ordinary people and should not use their knowledge of the law to rip you off. I would suggest researching this and telling him/her you will be filing a complaint as he/she is committing fraud (meaning lying) and either larcenary and/or conversion (meaning theft of your money). I wish I knew about Canadian law but I don't. I know about US law but not this area.
