NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM PARAGON TECHNOLOGIES, INC!

[Guest]

Hi,

I just wanted to alert everyone to avoid buying anything from PARAGON TECHNOLOGIES, INC (www.paragoncomp.com)!!! Even if what your buying is 1/2 the normal price, dont do it!! I took a chance and ordered a 1.2 G Thunderbird from them, which they didnt have in stock. I cancelled my order literally 45 minutes after it was placed, when I was made aware of this fact. They proceeded to charge my credit card (american express - due monthly) after I received a cancellation confirmation email from their sales department.

Its been two months now, they wont respond to my emails,or phone calls and the charge hasnt been removed from my account. Now I have to go through the NIGHTMARE of fighting this charge with American Express!!!

I have used a number of other online vendors who are excellent and have either the same, or better prices, than Paragon.

BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!!

Not to worry. Seems like they are out of business - no such address. No wonder they were in such a rush to charge your card.

Hi,

Actually I put down the wrong URL for them. Their URL is www.paragoncomp.com, which Ive updated in my original posting.

Thanks

I live about 30 miles away from Paragon Technologies, so I wanted to order something that they had for cheap on PriceWatch and pick it up. After I called them, they told me that they didn't have the processor I wanted in stock. So I asked about a motherboard they advertised, and they didn't have it in stock either. So I asked them what they DO have in stock, and they said that they "don't stock anything they list on PriceWatch." So if you actually want to receive your order from Paragon in a timely fashion, good luck.

Correct me if im wrong, but isnt it illegal to advertise something that you dont have? I believe it is called bait and switch. I know this applies to retail sales, but i dont know about internet stuff. Any lawyers out there?
