We recently had some "Kind fellow" fraudulently order a few parts from us. I absolultely HATE scammers, and I'm the type who will pursue them to every extent possible... and today, we did just that!

We had 2 people arrested in connection with credit card fraud, their computers were confiscated, product was recovered, and they are now facing multiple federal offenses, ranging from credit card fraud to mail fraud.

Now, when we get suspected fraud I always follow up, but this was one of the better examples! I'm extremely tempted to put a nice banner on our site about this, but I imagine that would be tacky and unprofessional... but boy, it's tempting :)

That would be tacky and unprofessional, but good work on the douchebags.
Some people really suck. It's best that they suck in jail.

Edit:
Whoever does DFI's graphics should be beaten to death with a big black rubber dildo.

Yea, small business + very low margins = small budget, most of which is spent on inventory, so we don't have any extra to pay a decent graphic designer :)

Your graphics are fine.
I was commenting on dfi's graphics.
I just thought about it when I visited your site just a few minutes ago and saw the lanparty graphic on the front page.

I actually shopped your site awhile back. :)

Why is it big? Small ones can be used too! Don't even get me started on how it's made from rubber and not cement...
