Seems like the kind of thing where you skip the police and go straight to the State AG's office?

Seems like the kinda thing where you skip the police and go for vigilante justice, too bad the scumbags prey on non-locals

Imagine growing up with them as your parents. The kids are probably ruined for life too.

before you even consider buying from thess guys (if you would actually still consider it after perusing this forum), please read this article first:

Be safe out there people: in the hills and on the interwebs!

Moose Knuckle sounds cool

"Attwood cancelled his order with 123Mountain, disputed the $123.60 charge on his card to Visa, and complained to Moose Knuckles about the jacket fiasco. The company told him that they were aware of the complaints and offered him the jacket at 50 percent off. It arrived in early January, and Attwood loves it. “I saved $450 in the end,” he says. "

I feel very sorry for the children of this couple.

Seems like this is something that could be handled with immigration. How are these 2 foreigners allowed to operate like this in our country? Kick them the F-- out!

I'm the writer of this piece. I was tipped off to the customer complaints thanks to Mountain Project! I hope it makes a difference. If there's ever anything you think I should cover, drop me a line.

Looks like their facebook page is down so hopefully this is the beginning of the end to this saga. Will be interested to see what they call their next scam company.

These guys are career criminals. They have been ripping people off for over 10 years. The amount of fraud they have orchestrated far exceeds the threshold to be considered a felony. Sending these guys to prison would be tax money well spent.

Unfortunately the left wingers have almost eliminated this method of punishment, mainly because they think the justice system cannot be trusted enough to not start turning work camps into profiting/slave labor industries. Personally I'd rather guys like Bernie Madoff spend time in lockup rather than have him out making more money even if he is paying people back. What I'd really like to see is Madoff in a work camp picking up garbage and cleaning rest stop bathrooms with a gun to his head but those days are long gone.

and around here we have TV sets and gyms for the overfilled jails, plus we wouldnt want to take the jobs away from people by letting prisoners work off their crimes.

Oh wait, we do take away jobs by having cops standing around all the road work while not flagging cars past...

if you're going to dehumanize prisoners, you might as well keep them in there for life, because they're going to be back.

This has already happened; private for-profit prisons are already a multi-billion dollar business in this country, and their political influence is bent towards keeping their cells full. Doesn't it make you feel all warm and fuzzy knowing that some counties have agreements with them that include minimum occupancy levels, or that some judges might be getting kickbacks in exchange for inmates?
