Responed to a posting on Craigslist, and the business responded that they were out of the playset, but that the clearance dept. At Sam's Club may still have a few left [http://www.sams-clearance.com/? O=rainbowdd-751996]
Following the link I found the Rainbow Playset that I wanted for my child, for about $200 less than at Costco. The fake site uses the actual layout, logos, etc. That Sam's Club uses—then defaults to their own payment system. Because of the deep discount they want to be paid with a GreenDot money card to avoid the credit card fees. A Western Union request would have immediately sounded an alarm, but I wasn't sure what Greendot was. However, since it was sold at Walmart, Walgreen's, CVS, etc., I WRONGLY assumed that there was SOME consumer protection. There is NONE. Help with your GreenDot card comes from "Southeast Asia" and is of little value. I was told to "call my local police" when I asked to be helped with a fraudelent online transaction involving their product!
