WARRANTY FRAUD!!

As a retired Marine it is my upmost concern that all my service brothers, along with every hardworking American consumer receive this information to avoid the extreme hassle and waste of time that bestbuy put on my family and me. Last December my Wife purchased an ipod touch for me as a christmas present. We then went and purchased the two year extended warranty on it, mostly due to the fashion the associate promoted the warranty to be, the associate promised that it would cover accidental damages and would be a very simple easy process if the device would need to be exchanged. Since the warranty is about two pages long worth of fine print we made the mistake of taking the associate's word and purchasing the warranty. This past September 14th I took the device in because the battery was not charging or holding a charge. Right from the get go it was a complete nightmare! All the geek squad reps were completely unprofessional and treated my wife and I like some sort of cons. They finally took the ipod to what they said would be looked at and told us they would contact us as soon as they would know something(all our contact information was provided to them). After waiting and waiting and waiting on Oct 21st I personally went up to the store(best buy Rosenberg Texas) and asked what was going on with my item. And what a suprise, they had received it and somehow had just forgot to contact me. The bag where they had placed the ipod had a date of Sept. 30th. The worst part is they claimed that the device was water damaged and that I only had a standard warranty that did not cover that type of incident. After speaking to a supervisor which was completely rude and unprofessional, I was out without nothing! And they even tried to charge me a labor fee despite nothing being fixed or replaced on the item! The supervisor asked me what I thought would be fair and I stated to repair or replace the device and he stated that he could not just give me $229.00, I stated that I guess thats what his company's reputation is worth then, and that it is clear how much they value their customers!! Today Oct. 22nd I went up to the Apple store located in the 1st Colony Mall in sugarland Texas, mostly due to informing myself that the liquid sensor that it has was actually not showing a positive test. The representitive I talked to at apple looked into it and had his tech ppl check it out and suprise suprise there was NO WATER DAMAGE to the device as best buy had stated!! Thankfully Apple replaced the Ipod on the spot and I will be following up on getting everyone I delt with's info at bestbuy Rosenberg to file a complain. I clearly believe that they used the "water damage" as a copout and it is very sad of how badly they treat and respect their customers!! This whole situation comes across as a clear FRAUD to me!!! Maybe now that circuityouknowwhat is bankrupt bestbuy is overconfident and feels like they can treat customers as they feel, but as we all know we live in the wonderful age of information and CHOICES!!! Last time I set foot in bestbuy!!!
