Description
I was shopping for an ereader, specifically a Boox Palma 2. In my search on google in my google chrome browser, I saw a great price under the sponsored products. The store was listed as overstock. I clicked the link and the page said overstock at the top. There was a special price with an automatic discount. The original price was 109.99 but after discount it was 79.99. I made the purchase and received a email receipt. This morning I went back to look at the email receipt to see if there was any shipping information and I noticed that the store name on the receipt was Overstoock not Overstock. Then I noticed that the return email address looked suspicious and did not include the name Overstock. I then clicked the link to view my order and noticed that there is no way to cancel the order. The web address for the store is not "Overstock". The "about" section of the store is very vague. The logo of "Overstock" is used on the website in several places but it is not the actual reputed website for "Overstock".
