I found an ad on my local Craigslist for a company claiming to sell cheap electronics (computers, cameras, etc.). When I checked out the site I discovered they took payment only by Western Union and bank transfers, supposedly because they're in China and those are the only safe methods of payment. I didn't consider them safe *for the buyer*, so I did a Google search and found a thread on a scam reporting site where several people claimed to have never received their merchandise. Some had been contacted by individuals supposedly from the the company saying more funds were needed for shipping/Customs. One said they'd hacked his Craigslist account and used it to place more ads. I don't know if anyone's reported this here, but I thought I should. More research by me and by someone else turned up many sites that seem almost identical. Here are the URLs:

http://whiteitem.com/ http://fairlyshop.com/ http://topswholesaler.com/ http://richshoping.com/ http://choicedealing.com/ http://vividsshop.com/ http://high-discount.com/ http://shiningdeal.com/ http://firm-deals.com/ http://kindsale.com http://sun-trusted.com http://elec-sell.com http://first-best.com http://wide-market.com http://treasure-shop.com http://loyalshops.com http://elecstrading.com http://steadysale.com http://praise-true.com http://honorshops.com http://view-store.com http://share-bar.com http://elecprince.com http://on-sell.com http://hotelecstore.com http://eximious-trade.com http://gladseller.com http://surelybuy.com http://elecspace.com http://topsalesmall.com http://openelecshop.com http://elecforum.com http://olxseller.com http://gladmart.com http://forbestshop.com http://gain-buy.com http://electalk.com http://beat-price.com http://power-deal.com http://day-offer.com http://vital-buy.com http://excitedeal.com http://cheer-sale.com http://slick-trade.com http://elecbest.com http://gucseller.com http://sharinggoods.com

I've also sent this information to IC3 so they can investigate. If these are legitimate companies then they need to have a way to accept payment that's more reliable for both particles, and they also need to have their shipping policies in order. If they aren't, then they need to be shut down before anyone else is defrauded.
