It is a Trading Standards issue in the UK i.e the costs of getting legal
advice would not justify employing a Solicitor (Attorney). What I
suspect could be a problem is whether a Local Trading Standards Officer
has jurisdiction over an overseas transaction and enforcement could be
difficult, unless the US business has assets to seize in the UK. The OP
might look at how the payment of the $200 was made. Some methods of
payment enable a dissatisfied customer to recover from the intermediary
faciltating the payment to the supplier.

I need the help of you knowledgeable people to help me redress a scam
problem suffered by my son.

He paid about $200 into one of the US firms for a WorkAtHome program
several weeks ago. For all he has tried with them, they only pracrise
avoidance to acknowledge that he is not getting the reqd training
materials they had promised him. He's about to give up now, but I
thought that perhaps some of you could help.

Pls advise me on who or what are the organisations/authorities in
the US who monitor and/or prosecute such cases, to whom I can make a
complaint for them to investigate and prosecute. Would appreciate
your help very much. Thanks

You've posted in a newsgroup dealing with basic questions about the
Windows XP operating system. Your son's issue, while regrettable, has
nothing to do with Windows XP and nothing to do with computers for
that matter.

You or your son should consult an attorney and/or the legal
authorities where you live. They will know what actions to take.
