drdeeb Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I recently found this website with "too good to be true" prices on several items. There are several indications this site is a scam, but it does accept credit cards. I was just wondering if anyone knew for sure. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kara1204 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Gearxsmall.com asks for an authorized password. I think I will avoid this one??? Unless OP has a different link.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USC Becca Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 general rule of online deals - If it sounds too good to be true, it almost always is :) Second rule - If in doubt, check resellerratings. In this case, the link is: http://www.resellerratings.com/store/GearXS. And the answer is (shockingly ) not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhk4360 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 The review you posted is for a different site, not sure if they are directly related because the site the original poster is talking about is http://gearxs-mall.us.com/ which I found some really hot deals on, but the catch is you have to spend at least $500. I'd really like to know if this site is legit, seems doubtful though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfman Hank Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I am refering to website: gearxsmall.us.com; a different site than gearxsmall.com.The former is gone; the latter seems genuine, but still worth avoiding! The first one looks like a scam, smells like a scam, and walks like a scam! I don't know if "Business Manager" Zack Stephens, 145 5th Ave, NY, NY 10151 is on his way up to Sing Sing (i.e., up the river), yet; but at least this website is no longer around. Maybe someone can drop-by and knock on his door and get some further info! I would not wait for a return Email, though. (The above address is where he wanted me to "wire money"!) I got this info by using a phony SSN and agreeing to pay by check. I immediatly got an order acknowledgement with a sob story about "problems with the bank processor and merchant account". I sent out several reports, and poof, the website is gone! Just Be VERY Alert! o Never even respond when a website asks for your SSN (for security reasons). They cannot check the number you might give, anyhow; so how can they be interested in protecting their security? o Never send financial info, like a credit card # over a non-secure link (i.e., not https ) o Never even give your credit card # before you see a personalized invoice for the TOTAL COST. Scarry, though; this was a pretty slick looking website! I think even the BBB Logo with a personalized "Reliability Profile" was bogus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
