Do you have a local TV network with a consumer advocate? Our local networks have them and they will help people with problems like this for no cost. They usually get good results because they publish the stories.
I hope you get this resolved quickly.
We have a local news channel here that investigates things like this. It would make a very interesting story. Wish I lived close by to see this on the news! Good Luck and I hope you do something and not let the skunk get away with cheating people.
