Best Buy Defrauding Its Customers, Selling Illegal Rocky Mountain Radar Products!
July 22, 2009 – Morristown, Az
My family and I have such loyal customers of Best Buy that they rewarded us with a Premier Silver Reward Zone card. But tonight I came close to shredding it when I found that they were selling Rocky Mountain Radar’s products on their website, therefore I’m boycotting their stores and asking for your help!
Evidently the buyers for Best Buy never performed their due diligence on Mr. Churchman because if they did they would had learned about slew of complaints filed against him with the Federal Trade Commission and the El Paso Better Business Bureau.
They may had also found television news documentaries such as ABC’s 20/20, CBS Good Morning, Extra or the WWOR-TV news story where I issued my $50,000.00 challenge with cash in hand.
During the WWOR report I approached Raul, the head engineer of RMR at their display booth with a wad of $100.00 bills in hand. With cameras rolling I challenged Raul to prove to the news media and I that their product worked as advertised in the parking lot where off duty Las Vegas Metro police officers were set up with radar guns. Raul stated “Our product will not work in a parking lot”! I then offered to do the test on any street in the Las Vegas area he shook his head no!
My first cause of action tonight after confirming that Best Buy was selling these illegal devices was to write and mail the following letter to Michael Carowitz, the Chief of Staff of Enforcement at the Federal Communications Commission.
In this letter I reminded Mr. Carowitz of our nine year crusade, his agency’s enforcement actions and how we’ve had enlisted the help of Senator Kay Hutchison of Texas to take up our cause.
I also commented on how our supporters took action when Radio Shack decided to carry the Rocky Mountain Radar products and a wave of complaints and boycotts followed suit that overwhelmed the customer service department.
Therefore I’m begging anyone that is reading this post to take the following action to encourage Best Buy to reconsider their decision and remove the Rocky Mountain Radar products by:
1) Contacting Best Buy Customer Support alerting them of this post using these venues:

What a bunch of ass clowns. Consider them blacklisted until they get that fraud off their shelves. Makes you wonder what else they are willing to sell to you to make a quick buck at your expense.
Thanks Sethy, get the word out man!
Interesting timing.
Here’s my take on this subject, Roy:

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Best Buy will not be getting any of my business anytime soon
I agree, I boycotted Best buy years ago and would only buy from Circuit City. Then Circuit City went out of business when they had much better deals than best buy or shitty buy for that matter. It really shows how people that don’t do there research can get scammed by places like best buy, when all best buy cares about is money. I’m with you, Roy.
I honestly can’t understand why you would buy from best buy to begin with. They are never (or rarely) competitive to buying online (even w/ shipping). The only occasion for buying from a brink and mortar like best buy is if you aren’t sure you want to keep the item. Returns locally are typically easier. But in general shop online and stay away.
Best Buy has just made me stay away even further. Thanks Veil Guy and Radar Roy for informing us with in depth info.

just like the try hard backyard, work from home, reseller in Australia who is now flogging Conqueror M18 laser jammers. The very same amateur reseller has sold other products also sold by Rocky Mountain. Maybe this needs to be exposed too?
I had a rocky mountain 435 and 450 got tickets with both i won’t from them.
SCAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
BestBuy announced today that this is the worst year in its 40 year history.
And this:
Best Buy Co., Inc. (NYSE:BBY) has issued an earnings warning this morning. The electronics and home appliances retailer is noting a fall in consumer spending, driven by the recent turmoil in the financial markets and other macro economic factors. Uncertainty regarding future consumer spending has limited its ability to project revenue for the critical holiday shopping season and the balance of the fiscal year.
They ain't seen nothin', yet.
Re: Best Buy – It doesn't surprise me in the least that Best Buy would pull this kind of stunt. Best Buy employees have flat-out lied to me about their products and warranties. They will say anything and do anything to make the sale. Their customer service is very poor, to way the least. And if there is a problem afterwards, the corporate culture – right up to the store manager – seems to be, “No, we can't help you with that.” After several very bad experiences, I will not shop at Best Buy under any circumstances. Instead I go to Costco, where they stand behind what they sell and solve problems with a smile.
Poo-poo Best Buy!!!
