I was in the market for a cheap playstation3 console and refurbished seem to be the answer.
I was surfing the web when BLAM, i was captivated by a website offering refurbished ps3 for $34.99. Unbelieveable, but i fell for it. I shop on the internet all the time and have never gotten jilted.
Today was his lucky day. I placed an order and almost simultaneously i received an email confirmation. Since i am an internet shopping junky, i noticed that the shipper's name and address as well as the delivery date were not on my receipt.
The red flag went up. I tried to call the numbers provided and i tried to email their "support" email address. Wouldn't you know it. There is no one to answer the phone, the mail box is full, and the email returns an error when sent.
Then i went to google. I slammed in the contact number and my worst nightmare was confirmed. Online posts about this telephone and the fact that it is a ripoff. Unfortunately, me and my friend were online at the same time and both placed orders. They charged her account twice for the one order.
I contacted my bank to see if i could stop the payment. Of course, i was told that they couldn't do anything until it actually posted against my account. I shut down the card immediately in case he had future plans.
I later filed a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center and the Federal Trade Commission. I also called the support group at who sponsored and certified the website. They told me to send an email about the incident to. I am sure they have had complaints about this website before and that i was just being put off.
Be ware of E-Predators. This is the first time it has happened to me and i will be more careful and selective of my purchases. If it is too good to be true, It must be a SCAM.
