I was personally gonna start the same thread, but since there's one already made, I'll just add my tidbit here.

Luckily, I received an E-mail stating that my Wii had been shipped just one day before the site went down after it was in "waiting for item to be picked up by shipping company" status for 3 days. I also received a tracking URL and a tracking number, but I waited too long to get it, and now the site's down, so I don't know my tracking number! I am doubting this is a scam, but as they promised in their ad's, we are supposed to receive it before Christmas Eve as long as you purchased before the 16th. If I actually do receive it, I will tell you if it's a scam or not.

Now, that link seems to make much sense. I'm speaking of the one where gaming websites were targetted to be hacked and what-not. Plus, it can't be a scam unless the guy is REALLY REALLY retarded. It's so easy to find his information! He's on eBay, iOffice, Myspace, Livejournal! Seriously! If he scammed the mass amount of people of their money like this, then it's bound to cause a customer rukus that will involve the legal system, and we'd end up with our money sooner or later.

Now, it can actually be the FBI though. It is stated that recently the FBI has taken a firm stand against piracy. Not just that, but 10 websites had been closed in which this person previously owned, so it could be possible that he is being tracked and shut down consistantly. Maybe in some ways, he IS a moron, but it really doesn't look like a scam at all.

As for the black friday special, I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest that everything they stated and offered is true and for real, and are still in motion, so you'd most likely get your black friday special. I'd suggest contacting him on MySpace and then reposting his reply in this thread you started to help those who are worried confirm what is going on.

To rafadawn... before the FBI logo appeared, the site WAS actually just down. There was an error disabling privileges of viewing the site without the notice. The notice came 12 hours later. This shows that it might actually be an FBI job rather than hackers.

Just to verify, there hasn't been a bad thing said about NDS, and everyone who's ever stated something about this site has always stated good things. As far as I know, there was never an issue, and everyone got their Wii's. It was also a highly reccomendable website that people willingly shared happily. I've never heard anything bad about them.

I've also heard of stories of them actually refunding money back, so they are definitely willing to give away the money back to the respectable payer, so with the massive amount of money they're making over at that site, I highly doubt they'd need to steal, and they have proven their good side.

I will say this(at least unstil I receive my order)... trust in them for now, and if I receive my order, I will notify this thread ASAP to see if they truly did steal or not.

I believe you misinterpreted what they meant by escrow. What they really meant was that your money goes straight into his bank account.

However, the consumer protection from the credit card company is a sure thing, so I would not be too worried.

I am in the same boat I ordered a Wii got the Black firday deal got emails updating the status. Why would they go through the trouble and it is impossible for them to keep taking people's money once someone reports them they would be on a watch list the second time shut down. They wouldn't through all the trouble, I think we will get our wii's and if not if you read on money book website they escrow (that mean hold for all you idiots reply when you don't know jack) the money until the stuff is recieved by the buyer. Plus the credit cards can get the money back so the worst thing we are out is a Wii for Christmas and some time. Let me know if you hear anything!!

Sorry guys you seem to have misunderstood. Not saying the moderation is lazy, unawares, etc. They do a great job as expected.

Just saying that if the thread was something with let's say a Friend Code, it wouldn't take 5 minutes until it was done and locked, yet this went on for pages and pages, and those are just the straight facts. Interpret them as you will.

Again, I do not have any intention of insulting the mods or the users, and I personally didn't know that there was a post-flagging option here. I will be sure to use it in the future.
