Today I received news that the Attorney General is seeking an emergency court order to shut down MyDV
BOSTON – Attorney General Tom Reilly is seeking an emergency court order to shut down a Waltham Internet company that bills itself as “The UK’s Best Source for Digital Video Equipment.” The company is not based in the United Kingdom, but in Massachusetts, and misled and overcharged dozens of consumers, most of them British.
The lawsuit, filed today in Suffolk Superior Court, accuses Jeremy Paradies of Waltham and his companies, NEPCO LP and NEPCO GP, LLC, of routinely engaging in deceptive pricing, overcharging customers, failing to deliver merchandise, failing to give refunds and frequently shipping wrong orders. Paradies and his companies sell a variety of electronics, including digital cameras, recorders, plasma televisions, iPods and video game equipment, using the domain name mydv.co.uk.
This is, on the one hand, excellent news. Traders that routinely deceive potential customers should be shut down as quickly as possible to avoid further misery as people fall into the trap. On the other hand, if you are still owed money, this might prove to be a problem for recouping your loss. Try immediately to contact MyDV – using email if nothing else can get through and cancel your order. In the event of not receiving a refund, take the matter up with your credit card company.
