I replied to an ad on Craig's list for a Sole Elliptical-$650. It took 5 days for the response. I had thought it was sold, and they didn't respond to tell me. They sent me to a web site that looked legitimate. The elliptical that I wanted was on sale for $500, no shipping, no tax... The instructions were to get a Green Dot Money Pak, and email them the number on it.
I tried to look them up on Better Business Bureau, no luck. My business is not on there either. So I was able to excuse it, I didn't know where else to look and see if they were legit... My instincts were telling me to get more on this. It took a few days, but today they sent me emails saying they had gotten my payment, and I could get my receipt from the website. When I went to the website it wouldn't let me on, said there was an error. I tried from several different ways to access the website. When I googled it, the rip off site came up with exactly what had happened to me on it...
I am not waiting to see if they send the elliptical. I have notified the local TV station and will see what happens. We are on unemployment, and really couldn't lose that money, I know that nobody can, but we are in dire straights. I have diabetes, and high blood pressure, I am able to control it by exercise. My elliptical has broke three times, my husband can't fix it this time. I have been trying to find a used one that is heavy duty, and they run about $1,000. I need an elliptical because of the low impact, I have both ankle and foot problems. I thought this was too good to be true...
