Mail-in Rebate Scam

I bought an Intuit Card Reader at the Verizon Store when I bought my iPhone. I had a $30 mail-in rebate. to calim the rebate, you have to sign up for service with Intuit, to use the card swiper. After some hassle, I signed up and mailed in for the rebate. After a couple of weeks, I received a message sying that my rebate request had been received and there was a link to check the status.
The staus of the rebate was that it was invalid because the UPC had not been included. This is false! I included he original UPC from the box the device came in and I kept a phoptocopy of it.
I can't find a way to contact Verizon at least to vent about this scam.
Anyhow, don't trust any Verizon mail-in rebate progarms.

For a 2nd opinion, I have always received my mail in rebates from Verizon, probably anywhere from 5-10 of them without any problems.
Luckily for you, you kept a photocopy of the UPC code. Did you also keep a copy of the rebate form? Is there not some type of contact where to get/send additional information?
When you click on the link, is there not some type of contact where to get/send additional information?
Is there more than 1 code on the box? I have purchased several products with multiple bar codes on the box, which sometimes makes it unclear which is the correct code.

Where do we find the mail in rebate for PSE8?

Hi,
I bought the software online a few weeks ago (for Black Friday I think) but I cannot figure out where in the mail-in rebate form we need to complete to receive the 20$ off the price...
Thanks!

But check the last post in that thread, too. You may not have it if you bought it from a store that isn't eligible.

Wow mail-in rebates give me grief

I purchased a MiFi4620L Jetpack back in November, with the $50 mail-in rebate. I follow the steps of completing the mail-in rebate form detail by detail and feel good about actually having taken the time being someone that so often forgets to do this process!
This evening, after looking in one of my desk drawers, I see the Jetpack box and realize I can't recall having received the rebate. I quickly log onto the rebate status tool to find the dreaded:
Missing Device ID (ESN/MEID/IMEI)
Missing Proof of Purchase (UPC) Bar Code
To my dismay I quickly realize I either forgot to take make a copy of the small portion of the box that was removed or I can't for the life of me find it on any of the numerous flash drives on my desk.
I am so overcome with frustration at this point, knowing how painstakingly careful I was about ensuring everything was included in that envelope.
I proceed to have the below discussion with Judy, who I completely understand doesn't have the autonomy to make an exception in my case. Now granted this is just $50 and I'm not going to miss it but the fact I took the time to take these steps only for the box piece to become lost and for me to be out of luck on the rebate is extremely frustrating. I haven't been this disappointed about a missing box top since General Mills claimed I was one UPC short of a Boo Berry stuffed toy. This is my first Verizon line I have ever owned and was planning on porting my work phone to Verizon this spring with a trusty new Blackberry 10 device.
I included an image of the box just for the heck of it. Perhaps you can see one of my tears rolling down the side of it.

Cannot find form for Galaxy S 5 mail-in rebate

I just purchased a Galaxy S 5 online through Verizon and was promised on the website and during the checkout process a $50 mail-in rebate.
There was no rebate form with the phone when it arrived, and I can't seem to find one online to print.

E-mail or a scam?

I am getting an e-mail that says my account has been disabled and when I open the link they give me right away it asks for my Apple ID, my 3 digit number on the back of my card and my password. Is this a normal e-mail or a scam?

You can forward the email to Apple at [email protected] then delete the email.

I ordered a Macbook with free ipod, but haven't got the mail in rebate

So i picked their special deal where you get a macbook and free ipod. I got both of them, but I didn't get the mail in rebate. Do I wait some more, it's been a week, or what do I do?

What do you mean you didn't get the mail-in rebate? Did you fill out a rebate form in the first place? There is a rebate that you print out, fill in and mail to Apple. Once that is done, it takes 6-8 weeks for your rebate to come.

Getting my mail and rebate.

how do i geet my mail and rebates from my video ipod?? i baught my macbook and got a free nano with it ( because im in college) and i upgraded to the video now i need to get my rebate...how do i do this

Hi G_Scott!
I don't know about Yahoo, but here are the setting to configure the Apple Mail application, with AOL mail.
-Account Type: IMAP
-Incoming Mail Server: imap.aol.com
-Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.aol.com:Your AOL Screenname Here
-Server Port: 587
You can also use the utility AOL® Service Assistant, which can be downloaded from this website AOL Macintosh Downloads.
"The AOL Service Assistant enables you to set up the following Apple applications to work with the AOL service:
• Mail - The AOL Service Assistant makes it easy to configure Mac OS X Mail to send and receive AOL mail. If you've used the existing AOL for Mac OS X product, you can also import your incoming and outgoing messages from your Personal Filing Cabinet into Mail.
• iChat - You can now easily set up iChat to work with your Screen Name.
• Address Book - Using the AOL Service Assistant, you can now easily import your AOL Address Book contacts into your Mac OS X Address Book without bringing in duplicate entries.
• Safari - AOL Service Assistant enables you to import your Favorite Places into a folder in the Safari Bookmarks Bar."
I'm not sure about the behavior, as I don't use Apple Mail.

Paperless Verizon Store Rebate Scam

I bought two new Samsung phones on May 27th and was told they were eligible for a $50 rebate - $100 total. I got that at a "green" Verizon store in Issaquah, WA. The store is paperless - meaning you don't get receipts. I was told to look in My Verizon on line for my receipts. I specifically asked about the rebate paperwork was told told it would show up there as well. I kept looking and looking. I finally called Verizon after about 3 weeks. I was told the rebate information would be send to my email account. I looked there - never received it. I was told that I would have to call a different phone number for rebates - customer service doesn't handle them. I spent hours looking for the rebate information. I finally sent an email to the rebates customer service on June 30th. I received an email today saying that since it's past 30 days of the purchase date it's too late to receive the rebate. I was stunned. In the store they didn't tell me I only had 30 days to send it in. The customer service rep on the phone who said I would get the rebate information emailed to me didn't tell me I only had 30 days. What a scam! Anyone else have this experience? Any suggestions on how it can be resolved without me losing the $100?

failure to pay rebates is something you should file a report with your States Attorney Generals Office. Usually Consumer Frauds and Protections Bureau, could be called something else.
Let the law get you what you should have received. States attorneys have fined companies in the past for these rebate scams. Or failure to pay the rebates etc.
Good Luck

Galaxy S4 $50 mail-in rebate question

The rebate instructions state that the receipt must include the purchase date, device ID, and wireless phone number. Both my hardcopy receipt and online receipt contain the purchase date and device ID, but neither contains the phone number. Can I just write it on there?

If you log into you MYverizon and go to your "My documents and receipts" you can find your equipment receipt there and it has all of this information on it.

Spoof e-mail

I have been trying to confirm my bank account for a while. I tried again yesterday to get some help. Last night I got an e-mail from paypal saying that she was doing something to confirm my bank account and I would be notified within 72 hours. So, I was like .. great. Finally someone is helping me. Then this morning, I got an e-mail from a bank claiming to associated with paypal. The link in the e-mail redirected to a website that asks for very personal information. So, I closed it. Then I forwarded the e-mail to spoof @ paypal.com - they responded saying with the 'You're right! This was a phishing attempt'' or whatever the exact words are.. So, I was nervous about that, and I was thinking.. How does the person who sent this phishing e-mail know that I'm trying to confirm my bank account with paypal? Or was it a coincidence? Then I let it go and forgot about it. Then I had a phone call, no voicemail was left and I had missed it. I googled the number and it was associated with paypal according to a bunch of people who aren't really reliable sources. Then not long after the phone call, I got another e-mail from paypal (webform @ paypal.com) saying that he had tried to call me to help me confirm my bank account, and I should call him back to set it up. I called, but in the meantime, I got suspicious because of the first e-mail/phishing attempt from that mornign - so while on hold on the phone, I forwarded that e-mail to [email protected] to see if it checked out as legit. Seeing how I was calling these people to confirm my bank and I would probably have to give sensitive information. I got the e-mail back from spoof, and it said AGAIN that the new e-mail was a phishing attempt - the e-mail that told me to call the people I was on hold with right then. I replied to that e-mail from spoof @ paypal.com and I said: Are you sure? I'm on the phone waiting on hold for someone now. I really
need to get my bank account verified.. If this is a legit call then I
really need to do it. And I already gave the last 4 digits of my social
security number. This is the second e-mail that I've gotten saying it's
a phishing attempt. How did they get my number if it's a scam? They
called me first [later on, paypal replied to ^my reply and identified my reply as a phishing attempt, too... yeah.. seriously...] So, a customer service guy picked up the line, and I didn't know what to do at that point. I didn't know what to say to him, so I just tried to explain what had kind of happen and asked him to somehow verify that he is really from PayPal. It was going around in circles and I was trying to explain it to him.. like.. ''Yeah, the e-mail does look legit, but PayPal just told me that the e-mail that told me to call YOU is a scam attempt.. meaning you're the scammer.. Because the scam e-mail told me to call you.. and here we are.'' Basically.. he needed to confirm who I was before he could tell me anything and I needed to confirm who he was before I would tell him anything. He offered to forward me to the fraud department and I was like .. wait, but if you're a scammer then what good is the ''fraud department'' going to do for me? and he was like, if I'm a scammer then why would I connect you to the fraud department.. and I was like anyone could claim to be the fraud department.. ya know? Anyway.. I confirmed the piece of information that he wanted because that was going nowhere. and because the info wasn't something majorly sensitive.. so that he could then confirm to me who he was.. I guess.. So, after that, I asked him to confirm something from my paypal and he did. and he told me all the information on my PayPal account, and he knew everything. So I said okay, I believe you that you're PayPal. We went through the bank confirmation stuff - allthewhile I still feel weird about the whole thing, plus I feel like he thinks I'm a lunatic. But I still have this little voice going, ''But why did spoof @ paypal.com say that he's phishing..?'' and ''How could they possibly identify their own e-mail as a scam...?'' Then he said my bank account was confirmed, so I was like.. Ok, let me just look while you're on the phone with me and check to see that my bank account is confirmed on my PayPal account. Because if it wasn't, there would be a big problem. My bank account WAS confirmed - something I've been trying to do for like 6 months, so I was really happy. And that was that. But here I am.... still wondering.... what just happened...?????

Along with some good advice Leonn1990 wrote:
...You can forward the email to BT, the email address to forward it too is [email protected]..
Reporting spam to [email protected] ought to be a good idea, but I doubt it because that address responds with a long email that starts by saying BT will do nothing unless the spam comes from one of its customers - and that's unusual. Very entertaining, though, because that email is itself trapped by the Yahoo spam filter. It looks as though that address is for reporting fellow customers who misuse the BT email system, not for spammers.
This BT help page (currently linked from the Forums home page) tells us to use address [email protected] That at least returns a very encouraging response, though this whole thing makes me wonder whether BT really does anything about these reports.
The odd thing is that when you follow the advice to forward the spam email you are stripping off the information that is not displayed that BT technicians could use to track down the source. Sending it as an attachment preserves that information but I've no idea whether either of these reporting addresses is set up to do anything with email attachments. Greg

K8T Neo-FIS2R rebate

I ordered this motherboard near the beginning of this year because it had a mail-in rebate. It's been about 3-4 months since I mailed the rebate form along with the UPC barcode and I haven't received a rebate check . Did anybody else buy this board during that time and get a rebate check?

I did receive a letter directly from MSI saying that they received my rebate and that they would be mailing it out, unless I choose to apply it to a USB MP3 pen product they sold. I had until April 5th to respond to the offer, which only gave you $20 off the product anyway, I believe. I assume they are going to mail the rebate after that date. Either way, it's still taking way too long to get it.
Shame on them for slow rebate check delivery and a "bait 'n switch"-type tactic.
I just want my $20, OK?!!
