I found a recently discontinued Sony electronics item that I have been wanting still available & at an amazingly affordable price at an online retailer that I have never heard of before. I filled-in all of the appropriate
information on the order form but when it came to payment, the drop-down menu offered only three choices: Diners Club, JCB (whatever that is) & Purchase Order. In small red letters, there was a notice that if I didn’t have a Diners Club card, to select Purchase Order and payment information will be e-mailed to me. I did that and received an instant e-mail instructing me to purchase a Green Dot card in the exact amount of the purchase, than respond to the e-mail with that card’s number to process the order. Seemed suspicious to me but I checked the BBB site for this company & there were no complaints registered & the company’s page has the Yahoo e-commerce logo. Still, I’m hesitant to go forward with the purchase. Does this sound like a scam? Thank you.

U know what when a website usually only offers types of payments like that the have something to hide. They come up with these eloborate schemes and people like us who are looking 4 a deal fall for it because we want to save money. You know what happens we end up getting scammed and then have to spend wutever we were in the beginning and count this money as a total loss. If you add that up it ends up costing us way more. So a word to the wise DO NOT ORDER FROM ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT 100% ABOUT!!!! and another thing these people who give these answers that they never heard of that website but they order from such and such’s website ARE THE SCAMMERS ADVERTISING THEIR SITES AND TRYING TO GAIN YOUR CONFIDENCE SO DON’T LISTEN TO THEIR SH#T. Hope I was helpful because I know how it feels to get scammed on this God-forsaken internet and let me tell you it sux and their ain’t no one to help you get your money back.
