What the hell, it would be nice to be able to use them when the time is right.

I got the replacement CDs and set them aside. Eventually, I had a look and the first 2 disks I viewed had sound sync problems.

I told him this did me no good and I would like to return these "replacements" for a refund.

He told me to go through all the CDs (50 or so, with no labels) and tell me which ones were faulty. WTF? I don't have time for that. The whole reason I sent an extra $100 was to avoid dealing with useless scenes.

At which point he began insulting me and telling me that I must have fallen on hard times to be crawling back and asking for cash.

That was my last contact.

Not "scamming," but certainly not the way I would do business.
I have a friend in the same boat and many other people are also in that situation.. I hope "contentproducer" the new owner of this company will make things right.
