Description
I did a Google search for an out-of-print item and this site came up. It was the cheapest by far, so I did a Google search to see if it was a legit site. Scamadvisor.com and several other sites indicated it was a legit site. I ordered a book they said was in stock and almost immediately got an email that said "Your order - 'The Eternaut' has been approved and is temporarily out of stock at our warehouse. It will be shipped via USPS, with tracking information provided upon dispatch. The book title is expected to be back in stock in a couple of weeks." I knew this was bogus, as the item has been out of stock for years. When I went to cancel the order, there is NO CANCELLATION BUTTON or any CONTACT US button. Thankfully I used a credit card, but they have to give it time for them to ship it before they'll cancel it. https://www.paysfer.com/shops/0592de2a-815c-4929-a521-82301b246cce
