Today I was contacted by Brice Smith at the Sherman, TX Police Department regarding the fraud complaint we had filed against Hometown Furniture. He told me that the Texas Attorney General's office would be handling the matter from here on out, as the Sherman PD has over 20 documented complaints on the business. If YOU have been ripped off by these guys, you need to contact Joanne Ferris at 214-969-7369 x125 to file over the phone.

I am delighted to say that MasterCard is taking good care of us regarding this scam. We have been given "provisional" credit (provided the merchant doesn't give proof-of-delivery / justification of charges, etc. in the next 60 days...) which, in this case, is as good as cash. I cannot stress enough how important it is to document your purchases with plastic whenever you can...

I was finally able to get through to Robert Brooks about a week ago, and I was told the same complicated story of holding funds to get $100K in escrow to secure letters of credit to buy the furniture. I told him that the practice of holding funds without intent to deliver is ILLEGAL and constituted FRAUD on their part. He didn't seem too concerned about that, but he promised that his credit card customers would be refunded by the end of November. It's 12/5, and there has been no refund. This guy even had the audacity to say that I was "lucky" that I had paid by credit card, as he dosen't expect his cash customers to be paid back at all. If this is "lucky", please have somebody send a black cat to cross my path, a ladder or me to stand under, a mirror to break, and please...do it all on the 13th of the month! $5192 is a big deal to me. I guess I'll have to wait for the good folks at MasterCard to help me out here...
