Re: (Service number is listed in my letter and on all money orders.)
Dear Sir/Madam:
An unsigned letter was sent to me by someone claiming to act on behalf of Invicta Watch Company.
The author of this letter is obviously a person whose first language, based on grammatical errors, is probably not English. (See attached copy of letter allegedly from Invicta Watch Company of America.)
Curiously, this most recent letter may have been prepared on a different computer from other Invicta communications. The letter states:
"Thank you for taking the time to contact our service center reference to case number ______. We received payment for the repair cost $42 [sic.] confirmation number REP86438. I suggest that you contact the bank for the money order [sic.] to see if that check was ever cashed. We have not receive [sic.] the payment for $28."
A check is not the same thing as a money order.
No bank is involved in this matter since both the $42.00 and $28.00 money orders are certified post office money orders. (See attached copies with proof of receipt of these money orders by Invicta Watch Company.)
According to the United States Post Office both money orders have been received and cashed. This may be verified at any time by Invicta. (Receipts from U.S. Post Office have been sent to and received by Invicta.)
Invicta Watch Company received my money order for $28.00 by certified mail with return receipt requested on July 11, 2014, Return Receipt number 7014 0510 0002 1475 9989. The return receipt purports to be signed by "Adriana Ponce." (A copy of this return receipt is attached.)
The new letter requesting $28.00 was sent on July 14, 2014.
It is criminal fraud to request a payment which you have already received and cashed three days earlier than your latest letter.
A copy of all payments in this matter and my previous online posting in connection with this highly amusing exchange has been sent to Ms. Letitia James, New York's Public Advocate, for whom this recent letter (allegedly from Invicta) displays obvious contempt.
I will send a copy of this blog post with attachments to Ms. James's office. Copies of both money orders have already been sent to that office.
All letters from the undersigned person to any party in connection with this matter will be sent by certified mail with return receipts requested.
Machismo and/or intimidation efforts will not be successful with me. I will not hesitate to express my political opinions because Cuban-American politicians in Florida or New Jersey do not like those opinions.
Continued displays of this level of incompetence damages the reputation of Invicta Watch Company and insults New York public officials.
I can only hope that I will receive my repaired watch soon.
Very truly yours,
Juan Galis-Menendez
