I placed an order one night and the next 36 hours I had almost $7000 worth of charges on my card which I'm still waiting on my bank to clear me for.
Earlier this year year we were in the process of buying a property and we received an email from the closing attorney's office with bank wiring instructions. This email looked exactly like all the others we had received from them. Friends of ours had been a victim of fraud in this manner and my wife had the presence of mind to have the branch manager double check the routing numbers and we found out we were about to wire money to a country in Africa! Looking at the email you couldn't tell a difference but upon closer inspection they had just changed a few letters in the email address but everything else looked legit.
I told M.J. I was also had by someone selling a e-shift controller a few months ago. I didn't take proper precautions because I was in a hurry and didn't want to miss out on a deal. These guys prey on us and have done their homework, this guy or girl knew this was an item that was hard to come by and counted on someone willing to do exactly what I did.
I share these stories as a warning to all to please be vigilant and skeptical! These Aholes have nothing to do but steal our money from the comfort of their home and they are getting very clever.

I think WE all appreciate the warning, the scammers are here AND preying on us ….
