Heres the apparent scam:
They send out Short Time limit email offers such as this product
Ends 6/30

You go to their website to get rebate Forms and discover you need internet access to get the rebate form . Ok Fine, Then Discover that The Site Apparently OWNED By Tigerdirect NOT functional,Their Email address at the sites not valid,The Phone number goes straight to FAX.
Since the sites not functional,You get NO Email verification,Therefore you can NOT proceed to get the rebate form.
Even The SEND verification again button Does nothing.
Therefore, No Form, No Rebate,
