"let the Buyer Beware"........very old adage holds true even today.....

its sad that it happened, and it will continue.............................as long as anybody goes through a 3rd party to do business.....
for anything.................GE makes a TV with a 1 yr warranty, you buy it through another source that tells you its got a 3yr warranty......

how long do you think it will get fixed for free?

one lesson I quickly learned when buying or dealing with money in Jamaica............Deal or hand over money to ONLY the person that HAS the product or service you are buying, otherwise your money could be just a "finders fee"
