    Default Imatrix Canada - my experience so far...

    I finally found a company in Canada that sells Pachinko balls without having to deal with the duty, taxes and horrific shipping charges that I would get from ordering Stateside.

    Imatrix Canada. They responded to my 1st query asking questions about their products and shipping charges, assuring me they had stock of all the requested products. It all seemed reasonable so I ordered 500 balls... there was no field to indicate quantity desired. There was no field to indicate shipping charges. there was no field to put my shipping address...at this point I'm sceptical but as it's only $30 so I'm not too concerned...

    ... 8 days later and I've heard not a word from them. No notification email, no shipping email, nothing but a Paypal receipt.

    I've even sent emails to each of the associated email addresses I had for them, asking for "Some" sort or response. Nothing... I'll keep you informed of my progress, or lack thereof in the coming days.

    I looked up the address and started wandering through the businesses in the complex. Google doesn't show any unit 8 business I did find one for unit 9. Perhaps you could call them and see if anyone is *really* in #8?
    ACP Lock Security (click on "contact us")

    Also found this old reference:
    Are there any PAchinko fans in the house? - Print Topic - Archive
    (look toward the end). There is another phone number... maybe worth a shot.

    I have emailed all emails related to the company. I have tried those numbers and they are disconnected. I started the process with Paypal to return my money and will probably be reimbursed fairly quickly.

    I suggest getting a refound indeed. Imatrix seem to no longer do much business if any. They had some pachinkos on Ebay, 3 or 4, always the same, probably remaining stock. but I didn't saw stuff from them since many months now.

    I've sent plenty of emails, called the phone numbers and waited patiently. That's enough, they aren't responding so I've started a Paypal Dispute.

    Good idea, because paypal has their bank account number and that company could be charged with fraud.

    I share your frustration as I was scammed by this David too. He advsrtised on Kijiji for a KVM that has USB connections. When I got home and opened the sealed box, it was another lower end model without USB. I phoned David and he explained he probably picked up the wrong box and he promised to meet me again for an exchange. He did not show up and every time I phoned him, he cut the line right away ( my cell phone dsiplays my name). You are lucky as Paypal will refund you but I guess I have to bite the bullet.

    Getting David to answer the phone when I blocked my number did not help much. He had all kinds of excuses and then hung up on me. Following with more phone calls resulted in him hanging up as soon as he heard my voice or he simply kept his line busy.

    Any constructive suggestions to make David pay back what he owes us, legally?

    go to the BBB http://www.bbb.org/canada/, call local tv station and see if they have a consumer watchdog that is having a slow week, go to his home and bang on the door... that one may be going to far. If it was paid by a credit card or paypal dispute the charge asap and if it was cash bug the crap out of him. If you have a friend or family member that is a lawer have them send a letter to see if that gets a little action
