If this is not a scam, then why does LTCgear not respond to charge back disputes? Nothing from the emails I sent or directly to my bank. Paypal is of no help and will not provide any additional information with a real name, address, and phone number.

LTCgear stopped accepting paypal right before the TOS change from 60 45 days to 180 days for filing a dispute (11/17/2014). This corresponds quite well to their claimed 'attack' and dragging out this process. We are past the 60 45 day point, so don't expect further payouts from LTCgear.
