The following was in the 5/12/87 issue of PC WEEK:

ANAHEIM, CA - Tech PC, a mail-order computer dealer, has closed up shop,
and the proprietors are nowhere to be found, according to Detective Dwain
Briggs of the Fraud Division of the Anaheim Police Department.

Users who have paid Tech PC in advance and have not received their merchan-
dise should contact Detective Briggs at (714) 999-1900 to request an official
complaint form.  Users who have received merchandise and need maintenance
or repair should contact a third-party service bureau for assistance.

"Their building is vacant, and it seems that they have disappeared," said
Detective Briggs.  "This could ultimately turn into a federal case.  The
potential for losses is great, due to Tech PC's extensive advertising."

Tech PC has advertised in several computer publications, including PC Week.
