Tristezas offered various goods (espresso machines, perfumes, misc appliances, etc.) all at a cost of $50.00 per item with free shipping. Payment was made via online link to Amazon with instructions to purchase Play Station card for $49.99.
I thought this was very shady. However, checked reviews online (11/21/13) and reviews posted positive. I now believe that these reviews were fabricated by Tristezas. Item was never recieved, emails never answered and company no longer exists online.
Have since relearned the following: 1) If the price is too good to be true, then it's a lie. 2) Reviews can be manufactured by the company who wants you to believe the lie. 3) Shady sites are more likely to pop up during the holidays when you are more likely to make large purchases online. 4) Don't pay for anything using an odd round about payment process.
It is very sad that there are individuals out there who make a living off of bilking people out of their hard earned money. Thank goodness I don't have to live with their conscious or their ill gotten wealth.
Happy Holidays...less my espresso machine. No worries. I still have my integrity.
