Fan Club Member Banned

[seteca]

The only reason I didn't join the "Fan Club" was that I couldn't afford it. Or to be precise, I couldn't afford to pay that much for what they were selling. I've been sitting back reading what's happened over the past week or so and I now thank God that I didn't join, because if I had, I would no doubt be amongst the 1000s of people who have been, to put it bluntly, robbed. That's what it basically comes down to doesn't it? I think 1000s, if not 10s of 1000s of people across the USA (and the world to some extent) have joined this "fan club", to get, and ONLY to get, the promised "best 20%" seats. It now appears that these 1000s of people have not received what was promised, and are now being banned from the site or ignored. In my opinion that's worse than street robbery, because then at least you have the chance to possibly fight back and beat the living **** out of the thief who's robbed you; whereas in this situation, they have the "luxury" of ignoring your calls, ignoring your emails/PMs, and even banning you from the official Fan Club site if you voice your thoughts on the matter via that channel. I think it's disgusting that a group of people have taken such ridiculous, evil, advantage of the biggest fans of Fleetwood Mac, who are willing to do and pay anything they can (in so many cases take out loans and withdrawals from savings accounts) in order to be that much closer to the band, because of our love for the band and their wonderful music.

I think that "Knight" and all his fellow employees who are "in" on this scam (and there really is NO other word to use other than SCAM) should be stopped immediately and that site should either be temporarily closed down and set-up by a totally different administration, or else ALL fan club members should get a complete refund for breach of contract. Even if their adverts and emails have been cleverly worded with the help of a legal team to avoid officially breaching any contract, the 3 departments below deal with both legal breaches and also SCAMS, where the law has been fulfilled, but the person(s) has simply taken unfair advantage of the public. Just in case anyone is wondering, emails are now accepted with the same vailidity as written letters in court, as long as there is a hard copy of the email on the hard-drive.

This is not a question of a couple of hundred dollars; lets say 10,000 people have joined the fan club. That's $600,000 this company has taken. This is no small issue. It might be appropriate to contact any (or all) of those listed below via their online complaint forms:

If the Knight is reading this I bet he wishes he could just reach into his monitor and rip this post out of cyber space....
