I received a FAX for a closeout sale supposidly sponsored by the Greendot Handicapped Aid Program. The closeout sale was for Laptop and Notebook PC's for $199 plus shipping ($208 total). Payment was requested to be made only by Greendot MoneyPak. The MoneyPak was to be faxed to them and always begin with the number "9". I faxed my order for one of their computer deals and luckily for me had not activated the Greendot Money Pac. I looked this company up on the web and discovered it was a scam and did not activate my card. MoneyPac will refund my money as they were not able to use my card. I was lucky because I had not activated the card.
After thinking about their request for only one form of payment I looked them up on the internet and found that this company is a SCAM.
I am a bit uncomfortable about the FAX as it contains my name, address and phone numbers as well as my FAX at work. I hope the information on the form does not give enough information for them to trace my accounts.
