SanDisk rebate scam

Like Canon, SanDisk apparently is using the same crooks to process their rebates. The postcard I received (shown below) is a clone of the one I received from Canon, this time for a $75 rebate on an 8GB Extreme IV Compact Flash card.

The same fraud as with Canon—claiming that required materials were not submitted

The scam consists of claiming that required materials are missing, while simultaneously professing ignorance of what was actually submitted when a customer calls to inquire. A short response deadline helps ensure that suckers (aka “customers”) have as little time as possible to comply. As with Canon, I photographed my submission prior to sending it in; the materials apparently all vaporized en-route, excepting the rebate form itself.

I have yet to make the phone call to see if there will be another mysterious “internal system error” that accounts for the “mistake”, but I’ll report on it in a future blog entry.

For those readers with a legal background: what is the appropriate governmental agency to contact regarding this sort of fraud?
