Xigmatek 200mm case fan rebate

Quote from huevos : Christina may be "just an employee," but she is clearly complicit in Xigamtek's rebate fraud. I'm shocked that anyone would defend someone that takes nearly a year to process a rebate, and only after the submitter goes through email/voicemail hell to communicate through a carousel of ever changing numbers and addresses. In contrast to your story, I have submitted multiple rebates to Xigmatek, and have gone through ridiculous lengths to get it done. Even after I reached Christina (a monumental feat of luck and perseverance), my requests were always forgotten about. Only after I contact the New York State Attorney General's office did anything get done. Many of my friends and coworkers went through the same ordeal and got run-around after run-around from Christina. Check out any thread on Xigmatek. You lucked out.

I am sorry for your troubles, but I still maintain that your anger is aimed in the wrong direction.
We do not know the personal situation of the woman in question, and it is unfair to speculate that she is complicit in Xigmateks shady rebate practices. Not only that, but unless there is action taken by the Atorneys Office to actually prosecute Xigmatek, we do not even know if what they are doing actually violates the letter of the law. Certainly I agree with you that it appears fraudulent, and that we should refrain from purchasing any Xigmatek products that have rebates. But I recall many other instances of companies shady rebate practices, and it appears that it is an area of the law that is very vague and hard to enforce. That is why forums such as this are good, because we can self-regulate so to speak by denying our business to such companies.
