This is, by far, the best that I have seen: http://www.directclearanceshop.com/

It looks like they have been running a few different site names and have been advertising pretty heavy on CL. What I found the most shocking was how many people fell for this. There are hundreds of complaints from people who have bought stuff. Shocked

Any idea how to proceed??

The site's registered to residential address in PA. That's... interesting. This is definitely something for the site killers to look at.

It is a scam and not the type of site we deal with unless you can prove Advance Fee Fraud.

Quote:

NOTICE: All new customers please choose GreenDot moneyp** as Payment Option. Processing time is instant and your order will be shipped sooner. After your payment is validated and your order delivered, GoogleCheckout will be enabled for your account. Thank you for your understanding.

Translation We can steal your money instantly

Quote:

Shop With Confidence: Green Dot keeps records of all transactions ran through their moneyp** system, this way they can track and protect the purchase. Make sure you have your receipt ready before calling Green Dot Customer Service.

Translation. This is to make you feel good until Greendot tells you your money is gone and their is no chance for recovery.

Quote:

VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR moneyp** PAYMENTS: DO NOT PURCHASE ANY GREEN DOT PREPAID DEBIT CARD, our company process payments using own payment system. If you load the moneyp**(s) on a Green Dot Debit Card or PayPal we will not be able to validate your order

Translation. We do not process credit/debit cards because we might get a chargeback. Just pay with a moneyp** so we can steal your moeny fast.

How to Stop A Scam:

Use your moneyp** number only with businesses on our approved list. If anyone else asks for your moneyp** number, it’s probably a scam. Don’t give your moneyp** number to pay for something you buy through the classifieds or to collect a prize or sweepstakes. If you give your moneyp** number to a criminal, Green Dot is not responsible to pay you back. Your moneyp** is not a bank account. The funds are not insured against loss

If you want to take this site down place an order and give a 14-16 digit number for the moneyp**. If the confirmation email does not originate in PA then you can report the site for fraud.

Oh, welcome to eater and bait safe. Very Happy

Wow that DOES look really professional. I can see how someone could be fooled.

@Foolofatook: web4africa is actually a fairly responsive name server, at least in my experience. The last two sites I reported to them were removed within a day.
