A Pine man claims in a type-action lawsuit that a Canadian company defrauded him and other people who ordered discounted BlackBerry PlayBooks.
Unconstrained Saltpietro claims that Research In Motion Ltd. of Waterloo, Ontario, and Globalware Solutions Inc. of Haverhill, Cluster., accepted his $189 order for a 16-gigabyte PlayBook pellet computer on Nov. 26 and sent him an e-mail confirming the order on Nov. 29, but then canceled it on Nov. 30, claiming his unsuitable had been flagged as a "high-risk transaction."
The lawsuit was moved to federal court in Pittsburgh this week. Attorneys for the companies and a establishment spokesman could not be reached for comment.
Saltpietro said he contacted his confidence in card company, which confirmed that the order had gone through normally and then was canceled. Inspect In Motion ignored his subsequent calls and an e-mail asking for an exposition, the lawsuit stated.
Saltpietro filed his lawsuit in December in Allegheny County Banal Pleas after learning the company used various excuses to abolish other orders of the discounted PlayBooks and was now saying that customers could order the tablets only at their well-regulated prices.
