Internet Crime Complaint Center

IC3’s mission is to serve as a vehicle to receive, develop, and refer criminal complaints regarding
the rapidly expanding arena of cyber crime. The IC3 gives the victims of cyber crime a convenient and
easy-to-use reporting mechanism that alerts authorities of suspected criminal or civil violations.
For law enforcement and regulatory agencies at the federal, state, local and international level, IC3
provides a central referral mechanism for complaints involving Internet related crimes.

Better Business Bureau

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) system in the U.S. extends across the nation; coast-to-coast, and in
Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico. Since the founding of the first BBB in 1912, the BBB system has proven
that the majority of marketplace problems can be solved fairly through the use of voluntary self-regulation
and consumer education.

What if I bought a Vehicle and right after discovered it had Recalls. I brought it back. They stated The Ford Dealership would do work. Then the Ford Dealership did not do all of recalls. Suggested a part was on back order.
Later did a door latch replacement and a window acted funny after. Plus installed a fan motor. Then water came in car at feet and now car is almost a total loss. It is Sparking and sounds like it is a live wire just by hitting door locks and dealer says not their problem.? Plus because you call and complain to FORD Corporate, The Service Manager makes reference to you calling before telling you wont fix now. By the way Had vehicle in their possession over a month.?
and only have been purchased and still paying since August of 2015.
Then the Dealer suggests to refund me money, only toward down payment putting me upside down two loans?
How can they take in a car and it not have been shocking me and having such horrid wiring, wait over a month…then because I would not purchase a new car…not refund for replaced fan motor and check engine light.
That turned into me picking up and engine fluid coming in to feet.?
I would think their ill repair or part causing fluid to come in , or lack of replaced recall part or faulty parts caused.
How could they do that? This can kill people
