I would like to warn all net people about an organization called "DAK industries inc." in N. Hollywood, Calif. On July 3, I ordered an item from them, and sent a check in full payment with the order. Yesterday, (6-aug) I received a refund of $227 with a brief note that the order was canceled since the merchandise was unavailable. The original check, which cleared my bank was for $241. It looks to me like they kept some of my money for their trouble. Also, the toll-free number they give is off hook. At on point yesterday, it rang, but whoever picked it up apparently didn't like talking, since he (or she, or it, or whatever) said nothing: not even a recording. They may have a ligitimate excuse for all of this, but I haven't heard it, and therefore would not recomend dealing with them. "the paranoiacs are out to get me" W. W. Berg
