I'm posting the emails and replies in regards to my on going battle with PA about them receiving one of my books that I had paid for and was returned in error to them. What do you think I should do next? I'm thinking of hiring an attorney but not sure if it will do any good. But as you can see, they are thieves through and through.
Dear Barbara Foster:
Thank you for your email. As stated below, unsold copies are
generally destroyed, therefore the copy offered now is different.
Thank you and have a good day,
Kelsey

They are something else! Maybe start with a complaint to the AG of Maryland where PA is based. And post those emails on their site! lol

I thought about filing a complaint with the AG and also reporting them to the BBB. I'm sure they get complaints every day knowing PA. I just can't believe those people. I'm really kicking myself for ever getting involved with them.
So I guess I'll do some investigating and filing the complaint. Then if I need too, I'll find an attorney. All I want now is to get away from them. I don't trust them and for all I know, they've been selling my books and never paying me. They don't give any accounting to anyone and I just don't trust them. They are liars, thieves and crooks.
