I found Sharebuyers.com while searching for a Sony Vaio laptop computer on E-Bay. The auction said that for a limited time they were offering the Sony Vaio laptop computer for $829.00.
I then contacted Sharebuyers and spoke with Antonio Bonds. He went over with me the different Vaio's that he had in stock and I chose the one to best fit my needs. I specifically asked him "how come they are so cheap?" He replied that he deals directly with the factory and only offers "reconditioned" products.
Finally I asked what payment methods I had to choose from. I was familiar with Pay-Pal and wondered if he was able to accept this as a payment method. He proceded to tell me that he has had problems with Pay-Pal in the past. He informed me that if I was to send it Western Union that he would knock $100.00 of the price.
I wired the money via Western Union to Albequerque, NM. He said to call him with the control number and within 24 hours it would be shipped out. (I paid an additional $35.00 for overnight shipping.) He said that I would have the computer within 24-48 hours.
Three days went by and I still did not receive the tracking number or the package. I sent a number of e-mails and no response. When I would call the number, it went directly to a answering system. (I could not even leave a voicemail, only a numeric page)
Finally on the fourth day I was able to reach him. He told me that the tracking numbers would be e-mailed out within 2 hours. Three days later, no tracking number and response from either e-mail of phone.
In closing, I warn all individuals, DO NOT BE A VICTIM OF THE SHAREBUYERS SCAM. I look forward to speaking with anyone that has fallen into this trap. Mark my words, they will be brought to justice. It just so happens, I live about 4 hours from them. Do I hear a road trip this weekend?
