Rating: Summary: FRAUD ALERT Review: A word to the wise, I have been going crazy trying to find a plasma TV at a super low price. I mean who does not want a really great deal? Along the way I have learned quite a bit. Many on line sellers, some right here on Amazon, are scammers. They usually have a comment about contacting them prior to ordering. This should be your first clue that something is wrong. Once you email them they give you some line about you paying outside of Amazon for one reason or another. I have had them wanting me to send payment by moneygram, western union, even bank transfer from my bank account directly to theirs. Only after receipt of payment is verified will they send the package. I sure hope none of you will fall for this. I have even had one seller offer to go through a third party named Square Trade. A quick google showed the company to be quite legit. After agreeing to use Square Trade, I received an offical looking email (using Square Trades logo, and a spoofed Square Trade email address) instructing me to send a money gram to an indiviual in Romania. I might just have well put cash in an envelope. I have turned these individuals into Amazon, Square Trade ( who was aware of the situation) and have now started notifying the email hosts that their service is being used as part of the scam. If an escrow service is offered trust none except escrow.com as the rest are ripoff site as well. NO I was not a victim but I hope none of you become one either. NEVER PAY FOR ANY TRANSACTION OUTSIDE OF AMAZON IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE PROTECTED.
Rating: Summary: Testing the Fraud Theory ..... Review: For all of you logical minded folks out there - I had sent an email to jkr_seller@yahoo.com. This seller of he "Sony KE42TS2 42" WEGA HDTV Integrated Flat Panel Plasma TV" for $800 requests the interested buyer to do this.
The cheapest place I have found this TV is at GoodGuys for $3,499, so I am obviously on the alert. I have received the following email text from email address: "Ginger Zimmerman" <jkr_seller@yahoo.com>"
Hello Ashton Pitts,
The price for the Sony KE42TS2 42" is 800 USD, the Sony KE42TS2 42" is brand new, with all standard accessories.
For shipping i am using UPS and for the payment Western Union managed by a third part service (Square Trade).
So please tell me if agree in starting a transaction,
I wait your reply
Thank you
Just as R. Zurbick correctly forewarned, the buyer is asking to be paid outside of Amazon through a 3rd party service via Wester Union. I have responded back to the seller to see if they will accept legit payment such as through amazon and/or a credit card. I will post a review if I hear back... Until then, I am remaining open minded but very guarded. I suggest you do the same.
Rating: Summary: Sony HDTV Plasma 42in. Review: I owned this plasma for appx two(2) months now and I am so glad that I bought it, however I should of bought it a long time ago because I missed a lot for quality HD tv. I have my TV hooked up to Comcast cable in Chicago Il. I am very happy with their service but there is a additional charge of $5.00usc for high definition hook up. Well worth the money! Also I would like to give kudos to A.B.T. store where I purchased the tv, Sony Dream System along with a beautiful stand for everything, If you want the best out there go directly to A.B.T store in suburb of Chicago, well worth the trip!! If you just want a simple TV don't go there. What else more could I say? P.S. I watch more TV now then ever! Thats' OK 'cause I am retired!
