Overstock Closeout Sales Scammed me for money on a Gorilla swingset I never got , Internet
I received a response from an inquiry on craigslist for a wooden swingset directing me to www.overstockcloseoutsales.com. I looked at the website really well and noticed that they had the Better Business Bureau stamp in the corner of the add and additional links to twitter/facebook/ebay and paypal.
I felt better knowing that these additional groups were associated with this website.
I created an account and started looking at the merchandise. I selected a swingset and started my purchase. When I went to purchase the item it stated in the payment section that as a first time purchase I was required to pay with Green dot/money pak. The purchase was confirmed and held for confirmation when the payment was received.
After making my payment I received confirmation that my payment had been received and my order was now being prepared for delivery. The website stated that it normally takes 7-14 business days for delivery. I am now well within this timeline and have not received my purchase.
I went back to the website and it is no longer available. I have sent emails to Adam Baker @ Overstock Closeout Sales.com and receive an undeliverable message each time.

Hello, I was looking at a pull behind smoker bbq on summer close out and I thought to myself that the pull behind smoker was way to low so I emailed them and no one every emailed me back. I waited about a week and emailed again and still no return email. I'm glad I didn't got through with what you did.
They sent me a email today from craigslist and I click the link and it takes me to a page just like the summer close out sale but this one says Overstockseasonsale!! I hope they catch these crooks.. Here is the link http://www.overstockseasonsales.com/
