We have in the past allowed people to voice the complaints about companies that have not provided service so others may avoid also becoming victims. We do want to hear what happened.
We have to be very strict on this. You are allowed to post facts only. Dates, time, amount, action take, responses. No name calling, no ancedotes, first hand personal experience only. No one else is allow to comment or express the feelings, unless they are also expressing first hand experience.
We will not /can not get involved in helping you recover your loss.
We are also a bit cautious about a new poster whose first posts on our board is to complain. Given Cannon-mania's history it easy to see you have legitimate motivation. We welcome you to board, we wish you had come to use first, we would have steered you in the right direction.
If you have a grievance with Cannon-mania you need to contact the Connecticut State Attorney General Consumers affairs division and file a complaint. This is the only way you have any hope of seeing your money. You will never see the merchandise.
