A class action lawsuit has been filed against the computer products seller for allegedly scamming customers out of advertised rebates. The lawsuit was filed in Federal Court in Brooklyn, NY and claims Systemax and its TigerDirect and OnRebate subsidiaries conspired to delay or deny rebates to customers who applied for them.
The suit claims the companies routinely failed to comply with their own deadlines of processing rebates within a promised eight to 12 weeks, which allowed Systemax to enjoy undeserved profits in the form of interest and un-cashed rebate checks.
