The poor butt-hurt person you sent your letter to was not in their right mind about this, they have probably been victim to scams in the past or thought you were a South African prince in need of money.When at the Rip-Off Report website you can file a rebuttal or request a VIP Arbitration (starts about $2000.00) the information is all on the ROR website and in about 30 seconds you can resolve this...
