Is Consoleshop.com a Scam Site?

Posted in General by twothirds on the January 22nd, 2008

I ordered a multi-console connector from consoleshop.com toward the end of 2007. Guess who charged my credit card, sent me a shipping confirmation and ignored inquiries about order status? Yup–consoleshop.com.

It looks like I might be requesting my first chargeback. They have until Thursday…

Why did I not see this before I ordered? I really suck at the Internet.

Update: Chargeback initiated. Good thing I used a “virtual” credit card number.

Update++ (31 Jan 2008): Holy crap! The merchandise finally arrived. It only took a month to get here.  While the site may not be a true scam, it sure as hell is sketchy and not worth the hassle.

    My son ordered an item from http://www.console.com which was suppose to be shipped on April 1, 2008 and received withing 8 - 10 business days (per the email they sent to him) but did not received anything. We have been trying contacting them by email because there is no telephone number listed anywhere on the site, and they did not respond to andy of the 26 emails. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY, WE ARE DISPUTING THE CREDIT CARD CHARGES.

    No, not at all. It’s not because something bad happened to YOU that it’s a fraudulent website. I ordered a faceplate from there and got it in no time.

    Ordered a small item from then on the 13th, got a forwarded email that it had been shipped on the 16th, NO response from any emails I’ve sent them. Maybe if they’d responded I’d give them more time. I’m disputing credit card charges first thing Monday morning
