Closeoutgenius.com Huge rip-off Brooklyn New York

I tried to purchase a video camera from this company. I paid by credit card. This info was given on Sunday, April 20th. I called the company on 4/21/09, at which time my order had been supposedly shipped. On 4/23, I received an e-mail that my credit card was invalid, and I could only pay by wire, and needed to deposit my money in their Chase Bank account. Closeout Genius gqave me a routing # and account # to deposit the money in. I attempted to do so, but the Western Union office was unable to verify the information, and would not agree to send it. I immediately called the company, but they claimed to be "closed". The next AM I called them, and they told me that unless I deposited the money in this Chase account, I could not purchase the product. I cancelled the order and went elsewhere, locally, to pay a little more, but have the security of my transaction. They lied to me (first about my order being shipped, then that their "terminal" was down, and this is why my credit card could not be purchased. Someone needs to stop vendors like this...especially in our troubled economy.
