exchange-usa.com a scam site????
There was a thread about how this company (exchange-usa.com) was PROBABLY a scam site, but has anyone confirmed that? The deals are VERY tempting and it would be nice if this too-good-to-be true site was actual true.
old thread link: http://www.techimo.com/forum/t23575.html
website link: Exchange-USA
thanks!
Aaron

I would stay very far away from this one. So shaky and smelly its not even funny.
Sounds and looks a big company, but payment is by MO or check and to an individual not a company BADBADBAD

Hi Aaron 128,
Welcome to TechIMO!
I agree with the Undeadlord. Stay away, far away. Fly by night sites are a penny a dozen.

I'm thinking of calling them tomorrow and seeing if they'll use an Escrow service. If they refuse, then it's pretty much assured that they're a scam site. They have been up and running for at least a month, which is strange...

Well, a month though is not that long, really, it's not enough time to get a lots of complaints which would then get the attention of the BBB and/or state attorney-general, so they have plenty of time yet -- IF they ARE a scam vendor -- to rip-off a bunch of people before they disappear. Heck, there are some older companies STILL doing that regularly and STILL in business.
So much for "the authorities" looking out for the consumer, right?
Hopefully they are honest, just starting out and need some time to build a good reputation...I hope so.
If not, trash their "good name" in a negative rating/review!

exchange your $ for nothing?
So Sunday night I emailed sales@exchange-usa.com, asking for a phone number and a business address. Both were in my inbox the next morning. I still didn't get a good feeling so I began this week long search for some indication of validity regarding this company (or not really a company). I finally found this site after discovering the loose ties w/ x-change reciprocal, various addresses in VA, FL, CA and UT, etc... I'm just tapping away here, hoping I can rape this site for a good deal on a notebook, but it looks grim. Anyways, I emailed again yesterday and got quite creative and straight forward, basically telling "Edward" that if he's "legit" and not just out to "stiff" me, then I'll buy, buy, buy! I also told him to be careful if he's a fugazi, cause G.Bush was just on the TV tuesday night, all chest thumping, hemming and hawing about fighting internet and corporate fraud. (Yawn...) Anyhoo, as you'd expect no reply is the current status. What seems odd to me is that, granted I don't know my way around the web at all, I can't find any complaints or info. period on this site. Surely someone has been acosted by this guy(s)? It's a complex world in here and the corners are dark, but geez, $1500 powerbook? Rubbing this Genie lamp for all its worth... Oh yeah, and how strange to discontinue credit card option on this site? Not an easy process to setup credit card account, especially MC/Visa and Discover! And then dump because of "rampant credit card fraud?" Reeks to high heaven! Oh yeah, in the second email I told him I'd like to use an escrow service also. Since then it seems he (they) may be involved w/ x-change reciprocal services and faulted illegal escrow service from Alabama ( I think Alabama). So that one was shut down by fed. So there it is... Why don't we pool for a $148 ipod just for fun? We can send postal money order, certified receipt, and see what pans out... Food for thought...

Stay FAR AWAY. Any decent company accepts CC. They just don't want CC so that the CC company can't come after them looking for the money when you don't get your product.
If it's too good to be true... it is.
