Has items listed for quite cheap, but and says on the website that they accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and AMEX. However, once you put in all your info and submit the order, a new pop-up opens instructing you to go buy PSN codes in $50 increments from Amazon.com, which you'll have to then submit and MIRACULOUSLY your item will ship to you. Righhhhhtttttttttttt.....there's absolutely no contact info at all.

Its to bad that a lot of the price comparative sites are starting to picking up this SCAM Site invies.com and listing their stuff all over the web.
There ought to be a police site to the INTERNET COMMERCE World to go after and shut down these RipOff Sites as soon as they are reportrd. The International Community needs to act and help clean up the Internet.
Everybody deserves better, from this tool (the Internet) we all use in one way or another. If it's not to be so, then I say keep your spending and buying habits Local and in your communities. The tax monies helps your local interstructure, schools, citizens. Buy from brick and mortar stores within your cities.
I'm going to try to add an attachment to this if I'm able with some information about invies.com I've found on the web. If you don't see it then I wasn't able to add it, or figure it out. I'm sorry to those who have been taken and hope those that haven't have checked here first...
Thanks, Bwarned

I had a recent transaction with this company and I can verify that "YOU"LL NEVER SEE YOUR STUFF"! All you will see is an email response about your order being shipped w/i a certain time period... no tracking info and if you reply with a direct question regarding more info...you'll get NOTHING.
You can "wish & wait for your order in one hand" ... and ... "S*** in the other" ... and SEE which hand fills up first! Just another con-site... praying upon the working class.

The report cited here is shady at best. The merchantcircle.com reviews are all from users who have 1 or 2 reviews under their belt, so obviously fake users. I admit I was taken by this scam. I ordered a ceiling fan by using shop.google.com, and it came up with invies.com as having the fan I was looking for at the best price. I then ordered the fan, and for $50 "playstation credits" figured I'd give it a shot. I did my homework on the company before ordering...Looked up BBB reports, looked up consumer reviews, complaints, etc... Seemed to check out ok, but I should've went with my gut that anything asking for payment in Playstation credits is a scan. Lesson learned... Never buy merchandise with Playstation credits; make sure the company has a legit phone number and address. Also make sure they have a legit contact for return policy. There's no way you can be refunded Playstation credits. You have been warned, by first-hand experience...

When you purchase credits from Amazon you should know once you purchase it is not refundable. This scammer is not a company at all. They purcased a domain from GoDaddy and now they are scamming unsuspected buyers who are a sucker for a deep discount. Do you really think that you can buy a Creed 8.4 oz fragrance for $50 when it will sell for $200 in a heart bit on any online store? Or a $2,000 special edition Men Left Hook Ifo watch for $50? Yes, they are offering these prices, and you must pay with Playstation credits?
You will never receive the item you barter. Now remeber, this is not a purchase, is a barter. You are exchanging one product for another. There is no chargeback right available in these transactions.
The scammer is located in Pakistan. Is probably an ISIS militant working togheter with Sinaloa drug cartel. Judging by the enormous effort they put in to convince everyone they are legit, I submit there are many scammers involved.
Read my words: Your order will never come.
What to do to avoid this scam? Call Amazon and learn about the use of Playstation credits. Call the numbers asociated with invies.com and their so call "legit" statements. Do a realty search for their location in CO. That location is 6 units available for lease right now.
The domain invites.com is registered with GoDaddy by an individual in Switzerland (unverified) for a company (unverified) in Malayesia and operated on two servers ib China.
Contact the police department in your area and file a report.

The "Official Legality Audit of invies.com" has a fake address.
US Business Agency
10 Welson High Blvd., Arlington, VA 22209, USA
206-333-0982
This Does Not Exist.
So much for an official report!
The news release about Schwarz-Gruppe buying invies.com is also fake for the same reason. The address is fake.
Global Press Release News

Also, take a look at who designed the invies website: a Real Estate company that probably never heard of invies.com

Hello
When something is to good to be true it usually isn't (right) well that's what I been told. "None of the reviewers are from the city of Aurora CO., to where one might think they walked into the store and bought an item-s, I clicked on their Profiles and most were out of state."This is in reference to a listing at-
http://www.merchantcircle.com/business/I...
What I find, that a 61 day old listing the property "below link", that the companys address from the "above link" says the business is located at (712-729 Billings St, Aurora, CO, 80011) Please see this-
http://www.loopnet.com/Listing/18689041/...
Looks vacant to me, so how can this business (Invies.com) be there in all 6 units and it look so abandoned and no signage of the company present on the building.
The web has this information about the website -

In short it says this-
Atlanta, GA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/08/2014 -- In the world of business every now and again a firm comes along with a golden touch that simply puts them light years ahead of the competition. German retailer Die Schwarz-Gruppe has proved themselves to be such a company. It has already conquered Europe. Now they have acquired the website invies.com as part of its strategy to establish a virtual presence in US market. Physical stores will follow in the next year.
I have emailed invies.com with a question as to the "Locked Padlock" in my browsers address bar and how secure their site is with NO Verification Links given to where I could click on to see the sites security. Links like TRUSTe, VeriSign, Trustwave, BBB Accredited Business and such. Then also a question about quanty per order.
Support from invies.com responce was (this is copied from my email word for word)-

After finding out more about the company and that they are NOT an AMERICAN company which the REVIEWS gave as the location of this invies.com as Aurora, CO, 80011 I sent them this email "below" and I've yet to get a responce from anyone there at invies.com, when they had answered me before in a timely manor.

Real fishy to me why this company has been online doing business for many years and has to be SO hidden and sneaky about their affairs. Then the fact they are associated or OWNED by German retailer Die Schwarz-Gruppe, and that the invies.com website looks simple almost cheap with no real security visible for any purchase one would care to make.
Thank you

I have purchased an item from Invies.com though the site does seem like a scam. It appears that the original person who posted Invies as a scam has not attempted to purchase an item and therefore does not know that the site is a scam for sure. I will know within a couple weeks when my item does or does not arrive or possibly sooner when I get or do not get a tracking number for my order. I purchased the item due to the insanely low price knowing full well the site may be a scam. There is no contact information for the company other than email through the website however an address and phone number are easy to find online with a search. That same search revealed mantra.com which had 17 records of people who were satisfied with the site. As soon as I know I am scammed I will post that I have officially been scammed in a later post. Order processing should take approximately 2 days and shipping is supposed to be approximately one to two weeks. Stay tuned for an impartial review of Invies.com revealing that they are in fact a scam or a full rebuttal of the post this response is based upon.
