http://trendtimes.com ) on 5/16/04 and my credit card was billed on 5/17/04. Below are the addresses found for Trend Times from the Better Business Bureau business listings.

The Trend Times web site looked very professional and used (SSL) to encrypt the transfer of information hosted by Yahoo! Store so I assumed they were a legitimate website. I waited the two weeks for delivery as it was stated in their conformation letter and an allowed some additional time because of the holiday. When the product wasn't delivered. I emailed them on 6/12/04 then again on 6/15, 6/18, 6/20 and received no response to my inquiries. I also called their 1-800-350-5420 number on 6/17, 6/21 and 6/22 left a message and got no response from them either. I also called the above phone number found on the BBB business listings and the number was not affiliated with Trend Times Inc..
I have complaints filed with the PA Attorney Generals Office, Internet Fraud Complaint Center (IFCC) and Better Business Bureau along with other Consumer Protection Agencies. You should also file your own complaint to make sure others don't fall victim to this fraudulent website. You can file an online report here at:
