Your location at ***************************************************************************** was not authorized to use my debit card. I told the guy at the stand (I have a picture of him) to STOP EVERYTHING and give me my debit card back. He said "No, we've got it figured out." And he hit continue on the card machine and processed a charge of $620 after I had told him to return my card to me. That's card fraud committed by TNT fireworks in the amount of $620 on my bank account now. The guy was on the phone with someone named **** the entire time who was trying to help him figure out the card machine. I tried to prevent this from happening by telling him to stop and give me my debit card back but he refused and proceeded to use my card. That's STEALING / FRAUD. He was supposed to run my card for just $40 and that's what I originally handed him the card for. When I saw him struggling to figure out the card machine... I told him to stop everything and to give my card back to me and he refused. My dad was with me and witnessed this. I have receipts. I have pictures. Thanks to this unauthorized transaction I will be getting hit with at minimum $90 in overdraft fees on my bank account. The $620 is already showing on my bank account. Thanks to this transaction I won't be able to purchase fireworks for my family. What do you plan to do to make me whole?

This original request was lost in junk mail. It was longer than expected getting the refund back to the customer unfortunately. It was fully resolved with a full refund to the customer.Initial Complaint

Hello, to whom it may or may not concern I reached out this company back in June of this year regarding a bunch of faulting fireworks and regarding their "No Dud" refund guarantee. I provided all of the information they requested, I have tried sending a follow up email requesting an update and nothing? I figured I'd wait a few months as covid is still a thing and not all businesses were and/or are open. Still with no luck in getting a hold of this company and nothing was provided prior to my requests. I am filing this complaint in hopes something can and will be done. I have provided proof of the email I sent along with proof of purchases, boxes, etc. I am requesting a $40.00+ refund for the items and due to the lack of "customer service", inconveniences, etc.Business response
