There is an ad running on craigslist for a 23 drawer tool chest. The listing designations are:

So after some research about the tool box and prices, it seemed feasible this would be for sale. The manufacturer used to sell these at Sam’s club for $799.00. Now the manufacturer makes other designs. So I saw this a new old stock item or discontinued item. I got this email back from them through the craigslist ad.
When I responded to this ad, the following information was sent back:

I made a payment through MoneyPak, off this website emporiumcloseout.com. Now the emporiumcloseout.com website is offline.They don’t respond to emails or phone calls.


This person owes a lot of people money, and he's using craigslist to steal from people.

3 weeks later, I find out this has been going around the country.

Here are some past listing numbers:

http://louisville.craigslist.org/tls/1954921254.html
http://nashville.craigslist.org/tls/1934215131.html


The website was powered by Prestashop.com 1 (888) 947-6543

I have a fraud complaint filed with GreenDot Money Pak and I'm waiting to hear from them.

Update: 02/02/2012

I am hoping to get the attention of a class action lawyer, to take action against Green Dot Corporation.
