They take your money, but no merchandise !
My wife found Elma Mall on CraigsList. I had never heard of them so I did a little searching. Found links on Amazon, Bizrate and a couple of others. Seemed to be legitimate. Placed order as instructed (very awkward since I had never used GreenDot). I recieved confirming email that payment was accepted. That was on 12/14. Since then, the websites' order status shows only "order in preparation". Tried to call - Number disconnected! Tried to email- Error! This is obviously a bogus company. Don't get bit like I did.

Scam
This is what the scam looks like in the area that I am from: http://lakeland.craigslist.org/tag/2079413801.html. Once you email them, they will contact you telling you this:

Customer Support: (610) 297 - 4274
Once you do all the shenanigans that they tell you to do to purchase it, how legit it is on the website, etc you will get email confirming:
Date Status
2010-12-01 15:31:15 Preparation in progress
2010-11-26 09:40:50 Payment accepted
2010-11-25 08:50:17 Awaiting MoneyPak payment
After that they will contact you, say anything, the address on the invoice is a home address: ELMA MALL - Headquarters: 395 Worthington Mill Road 18954 Richboro, Pennsylvania United States PHONE: (610) 297-4274
The phone number does not work; it will say that it is disabled. The person will not email you back. What's sad is that not only did we buy this for our child, but we also purchased this for the kids at our church. Hopefully, through all the reporting and having the actual information in my possession we will get this legally resolved.
