I had been pricing the Nintendo Wii for about a week for my family. I tried to win on ebay but got to high for my pocket — or so I thought. I wanted to get it for my kids as a surprise. I did the search engine for Wiis and "Pemglers" came up with an awesome deal $199.99 plus S&H of $15.01.
I communicated with them some and they seemed on the up & up. Website looked legit with "Internet Shopping is Safe Accredited Retailer" logo and Bizrate logo. I place my order that Sunday night 4/13/08 then did the moneygram Monday morning. Per the instructions I sent the confirmation number to them. Reply was "confirmation received".
The name was Doris Meader as the owner. The Customer service rep was Charles Casey. He emailed my tracking number on Tuesday. I tried it Tuesday and Wednesday with UPS having no record of it. I sent another email requesting the status and they never responded. Then on Thursday, no website, emails returned - not valid DNS.
Expensive lesson to learn, I am an honest person and I thought that they would be. I wish somebody could catch them and make them pay up to everybody they have scammed. The only comfort I have is that I know that God will deal with them eventually.
