Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1329411, member: 112"]OK, but what actually happened to these people. What did the ANA and the PNG do to them ? And what did you get out of it ?  And that cost you how much, over and above the $3500 you already lost ? As I said in my very first post in this thread - the ANA and the PNG are about your only shot. But what typically happens, if anything, is that the offending party loses their membership in the organization - and that's it. Other than that they go right on doing the same things they were doing. Now I am not saying that you should do nothing or just forget about it. But that often is the best course of action - for you as the offended party. Chalk up your losses to experience and education and learn from the mistake. Almost all of these unethical situations, and most of the illegal ones, can be avoided if you just use a little common sense. You don't buy from just anybody ! Ever ! You cannot protect people from themselves. You cannot legislate protection to protect people from themselves. Only they can protect themselves. Is it a shame that there are unethical, unscrupulous, people in the world ? Yes, it is a shame. But it's been that way since the dawn of time and it will be that way until the end of time. And the bottom line is there really isn't much we can do about it. There never has been and there never will be.[/QUOTE]
