Anyone have any experience with this retailer?

How many signs do you need?
Checked BBB, they're not on there, despite showing that they have an A++ rating on their website. Several words are mispelled, showing that English is not their first language, despite saying they're located in AR. They list no address, no phone number, no names. You have to pay via funny methods. The prices are too cheap. Tell me a GOOD reason to do business with them!

I never heard of that retailer before but I have seen that big tool box advertised on CL for $500 before. A toolbox that tall and long and only 18" deep just seems to me like it would be extra prone to tipping over.
It is kind of strange that they don't take regular credit cards.

they want you to use a giftcard so they can take the money without showing on your bank account.

I found them through craigslist ad. I figured it was a scam but was too tempted and inquired. This is the response I got...

I was about to say that looks just like the box on craigslist.

That box pops on CL from time to time and has been talked about in the past how it is all over the place.

They want you to pay with what is essentially a money-order in card form, which is the same thing as a wire transfer.

So someone links a site to sell you a freighted item through wire transfer only on craigslist.

Yes. It's a scam.

I'm glad you asked, but still a little surprised that you had to.

The phone number on the whois info, 570-708-8782, when Googled, offers a wide range of scams on many different types of products. I wouldn't give them one cent of my money, that's for certain.

That 570 area code is my are code in Pennsylvania

 

[greasemonkey44]
