Type of a scam Online Purchase

I made a purchase through Mareag.com on October 7th, 2017. Mareag.com is like a Mirage company, see what I did there. All joking aside, They offer goods like an ebay, amazon type site. They had videos on youtube, looked like paid ctors and scripted testimonials, 5 or 6, and on thier website, includeing a news station report (Out of Oklahoma, CH9, I googled it, this was what sold me) stateing they were a startup company here in the U.S., based out of Canada. I have seen other consumer reports recently, that they were scammed and I believe I was now also. I didn’t want to believe it because, they said delivery could take up to 2 weeks. It has been 2 weeks and no delivery or shipping update.

The way they claimed to have operated was you pay them in Playstation Network Cards, $50 increments that are purchased on amazon.com. They claim they get kick backs from playstation and other vendors for this aspect of your purchase, and the sellers give discounts because of deals between this new start up company and them.

My purchase was for an Xbox One 2TB that was refirbished for $50, so I sent them my passcode for such a great deal. Thinking the seller just wanted to get rid of a machine that was not only used but had been broken before, plus the kickbacks Mareag.com claim they would have received. My last Communication from them was the 9th, and it stated shipping soon, I assumed in 2-3 days, plus 7-10 days for delivery, my purchase was on a weekend. By Wednsday of that week, there website was removed with an ad from godaddy.com to rent it, there you tube videos were gone, and I saw my first reports of a scam. No evidence of them except in the yellow pages web site, but still I was hopeing for the best and waited the time for the shipment.

The yelp ad states, discount store, N19 W24400 Riverwood Dr

Waukesha, WI 53188

Get Directions Phone number ###-###-#### Business website mareag.com

The rest has all been deleted. Ther are few reports of a scam all over the country, on various websites. I found them originally on google shopping, the same way I first heard of them also.

I have all the Emails, plus the proof of the PSN $50 card purchase. There are 6 from mareag.com, and 2 from amazon, in the order I received them originally (someone went through alot of trouble and probably spent alot of money for this scam):

Type of a scam Online Purchase

I used *** Shopping to search for deals and this site pops up with the best deal. At first I was skeptical because everything was so cheap, but I found some reviews, articles, plus it was mixed in with ads from legitimate retailers like *** *** and *** on *** Shopping page. It was so deceptive. They email you as soon as you "reserve" your purchase to prove they’re real, but as soon as you pay up, they disappear as if they never existed.
