Thanks for the info. I did not find the engineer's name or the owner's
name on that website. Looks fishy. I just emailed them and requested a
full $500 refund.


I recommend that you also send your request in a letter via mail.
Registered wouldn't hurt, but I'm not sure it's really necessary. Keep a
copy of the letter for your records, along with the rest of the story
you've related here.
