Company has taken my money and will not reply

    I paid this company http://melhor.co.in $625 last year in October to do a project for me. There was some problems at their end and the work was not done. They offered to refund the money and then never replied after that.

    I can't get through to them on their phone number or email address.

    So they have basically stolen $625 from me and I am trying to get it back.

    Has anyone got any ideas?

    thanks.

    I had a similar problem with a different company. They wouldn't reply to emails and the phone number stopped working.

    I got a local solicitors to write them a letter saying they would be taken to court and then they contacted me a week later and refunded the money in full.

    Everything was going fine before the problems. They didn't seem like a bad company.

    The problem is that they are based in India, so it is difficult to deal with.

    Why don't you do a charge back via paypal and CC.
    It will surely help you recover your money.
