    Yet Another Reason Not To Count On Rebates

    Brook has waited since November for a $100 rebate from Buy.com. Each time she asks for the status of the rebate, she is told by rebate-processor Parago that the rebate is in the "final stages of processing" and will be ready, let's say, next month.

    We love photos. Especially photos that catch corporations blatantly lying to their customers. More »
