I purchased a Wii for $19.99 on 08/25/08 and never received the product. This is indeed a scam. The order status for my Wii was shown until around 09/26/08 when the website stated the following..."ITEM LOADED ON SHIP - IN TRANSIT"
If there is anything I can do to help stop theses thieves in their tracks, please let me know.
Thanks,
Aniha

I think that this company or persons involved should be found out and investigated. Its really sad that people are such worthless human beings that they have to take money from had working people to make a quick buck. I bought 2 of them and never recieved them. Same as what the others have said on here, it shows progress for when its coming, then the website is gone. If anybody figures out how to get them, do whatever you have to to get these low life ###.

So did I! I ordered it 8/6/08 and I haven't gotten it! First they changed the name of the site a week after I bought it, now they're gone! It is supposed to be hacker free! I want to get a refund, a working wii, all the supplies and accessories, and a 15-year warranty! It's a ripoff!

I purchased a refurbished wii on 8/16/2008. Was told it would ship out in 1-2 business days. I watched it for a while on line the status. It was leaving a port out of China as of [protected]. Now the website is no longer valid. Be careful of refurbished wii's online

I bought 3 of them and they took 60 dollars from my account.Im pissed off. Everyone listen this might be a good idea. check your accounts from when they took the money out. see who took it out. It might give us a name of an company or an address. Anything is better then nothing, what they did is illigal so all we have to do is find out who deals with this sort of stuff.Also shouldnt the nintendo factory keep an aye out for this type of stuff since its there name on it...They will pay.

I had the exact same experience! I ordered mine in mid-August, and have yet to receive it (it's the end of Oct)! They were updating the status on-screen until last week, when supposedly it had arrived at the port in FL - now of course the website won't come up and you can't reach them. This sucks. But I guess I should have known better. I need to find a way to hunt them down and report them so they are investigated and arrested. (Seriously)

Contact your credit card company and tell them you paid for a product or service that was never delivered and see if they will issue a refund.

I came across this site that advertised refurbished wiis for $19.99. So I ordered one. I knew it was to good to be true but I ordered it anyway. After I did it sent me a conformation number. So I have been checking the status of my order and it seemed to be legit, and that it was on its way. The last time I checked the status it said it was in transit as of sept 27, 08. Today Oct. 10, 08 I checked it again and the web page can not be found. I have emailed and called the number several times with no response back. This site is a scam

I paid the 19.95 and waited for over a month and still no wii. Didn't even get a number, but now their website is no longer and their email address that I have when they sent confirmation is being returned as well.
I only wish I hadn't told my 15 year old.

The company claimed to sell refurbished wiis for $19.95 with free shipping. After waiting nearly two months and following what looked like real tracking updates, the website is no longer accessible. The phone number, [protected], is still active, but it basically refers all inquiries back to the website.
