Terrible scam!

Contact information:

I ordered a replacement remote control for my daughter's Panasonic tv. The communications by www.remotecontrolsinc.com is awful. After weeks of not receiving the remote, I emailed them repeatedly and also completed the online 'contact us' form. If you call, they never, never answer. The email replies were standard form letters. They offered no attempt to resolve. I finally googled the phone number, researched WHOIS, and found a second phone number at the address. It was the guys father who, after repeated questions, indicated that he had no idea what kind of stuff his some was into. I gave the father my phone number, but no one ever called back. After a few more weeks of trying to connect with someone, I finally received an email indicated that the product was shipped 'weeks ago' but in good faith a "second" product would be sent out. To be fair, a product did arrive about a week later. But, it did not work!! I have again tried repeatedly trying to contact them and take advantage of their advertised return offer, but again, they refuse to answer phone, they refuse to answer emails, and they refuse to answer their online contact form. DO NOT ORDER FROM www.remotecontrolsinc.com.

I had a similar experience with www.remotecontrolsinc.com. Every time I called, the machine said they were moving and the best way to contact them was by using their online comment form. But they never replied. They never attempted to send me the remote control even though they charged my credit card.

I'm having a similar experience. CC charged, Over two months now, no remote. multiple emails back and forth...
WILL keeps saying he's taking care of it but so far no good news like "order shipped" based on the above thread I think
I'm over-due for having the CC reversed. Calling the bank tomorrow.
