Ogajiga Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 About 4 years ago Dave Drouillard from D&D Lures in Canada emailed my website offering "like Gamakatsu" hooks & swivels at factory direct prices. Samples & prices looked good so I ordered huge. Samples were better than actual production batches so quality was mediocre but usable except for a batch of #7 roller swivels that turned out to be tiny Korean size 7s and #1 red & bronze jig hooks which had curiously 100% mixed up too long or too short offsized eye legs. Also #8 hooks invoiced & paid for in advance were missing & unavailable. After some huffing Mr. Drouillard agreed to a return for credit which led to a year of runaround not receiving my credit value items. Finally requested his "90 day money back guarantee" and never got it. Filed complaints with RECOL(Canada) and I forget which USA gov agency and got no replies from either. My attorney father-in-law advised that $800 was too small an amount to litigate. Any comments or suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogajiga Posted August 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Thanks for the link Fish Devil - didn't know the FBI could get involved. Didn't expect any other solution possibilities - mostly just posting info about D&D Lures rip-off. Both the USA Better Business Bureau and Canadian RECOL were a waste of time. The Windsor(Canada) Chamber of Commerce website claimed they investigate local business malpractice but after spending a good bit of time filling out their form online it wouldn't submit - my guess is USA originated claims are auto-rejected.
