Wow that is fucked up.
I would write a concise letter with attatched details and send it to your district attorney, media, and anyone else who could expose these cockholsters.
These people should be executed!

My son called ne from Bahrain this morning
He said he had a statement from them that he had gotten last week that said he owed $14.00.
He also said that yes, he had fallen for the scam and he had not wanted to tell me that he fell for it.
I told him that folks like these depend on folks being too embarassed to admit they were taken and urged him to get his ass to the ships legal officer and let them know about it.
Anyway, I called the finance office 800 number this morning and actually got a hold of someone. Told them I had a statement saying almost $500 in arrears and needed to know what it was about. They very quickly told me that the statement was wrong and that he only owed $14.00 and was current. I asked them to send me it in writing and they said they will.
So I think I have this one figured out. They obviously know his ships address because he received a statement there. Then they sent the past due statement to the home of record, hoping the parents will see it and pay it to keep their kid out of trouble. Probably worked pretty good prior to email.
Anyway, The kid is going to send me all the paper he has on it so I can give it to my lawyer and see what he wants to do.
Turns out the deal was for some cheap ass camera and film processing for life. He said the processing envelopes he is supposed to use are back in Japan. So when he gets back to home port, he will forward them to me and everyone I know will get free photo processing for life
And if they don't do it, then we will have them on breach of contract on top.
So, we will get his money back either in cash or services
