Guys, here is a real story I would like to share

I wrote
I am looking to buy more than 2000 pieces of Brand new Pentium 4(at least 2.0 GHZ) notebooks with any configuration. My target price is 350 for each. If you have the offer, please contact me immediately with your name and phone number on it. My contact cchou@sbcglobal.net Thanks!

Volcanica Inc (www.laptopworldwide.com) replied:
My suppliers offer this price you're looking for!!! If you're interested I can put you in touch with these suppliers by selling you our database of suppliers which has over 50 laptop suppliers. It took us 7 years to put the list together.

Is there any grantee that I will find this offer by buying your supplier lists? Where are these suppliers located? I am only looking for the suppliers who located in U.S.A. I am looking forward your response. Thanks!

Volcanica Inc (www.laptopworldwide.com) replied:
Please let me know if you're interested because we'll stop selling the
database for competitive reasons. I guarantee the list or your money
back!!! Like I said, I can guarantee your satisfaction with the list.
You'll have access to thousands of "affordable" laptops on a daily basis.

Guys, their suppliers don’t offer the price I am looking for, should I ask for refund? Yes, I did. But laptopwordwide.com doesn’t give me any refund at all.
