Re: Stus-List Barient 22ST - now Documentation
I just last night followed the advice in the BoatUS press release, and filed a complaint with the USPS Inspector General, even though it's been two months since I got suckered. Made sense, since this fraud started with a piece of mail. I'd previously filed complaints with the BBB, Department of Commerce, and USCG NVDC, but don't think those had much impact. I'm still pissed that there are assholes out there in the world doing this kind of shit, while owning fancy cars and claiming to be Christian according to their Facebook profiles.
