I found a legitimate looking website called www.refurbishedwiis.com and saw that they were only $19.99. I figured since Wiis are not super new and since these were refurbished that maybe the could actually be 20 dollars.
A few hours later I was starting to question my judgment so I went on to track the order and it said that it hadn't registered yet. This didn't make sense to me so I called the number and it went straight to a voicemail box that said it was full and "goodbye".
I knew I had been duped, I called my card holder to cancel the card and ask if it had already been charged. Though, I had placed the order at about 2:00 pm it had already been charged to my account by 4:30 pm the same day.
So I'm out 20 dollars and now I have to go get a new debit card. AND I don't get the wii!
I should have gone with my instincts, IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT PROBABLY IS!
Also, I noticed that others have reported the same type of thing only the website changes to something like "refurbished gamebox.com" for example.
