I paid the fee. I had reviews both the terms and the full offer before paying. Spent 35+ hours satisfying the long survey and article writing requirements and/or checking to see if they were met by my articles written. Too much time passed and hen I contacted them about the delay, I also was told that PS4 Pros were out of stock and would I like a $150 Amazon card instead plus a fee refund. I declined to await PS4 Pros being in stock. 2 months gone and no PS4 Pro, no response to calls, no response to e-mails. Total scam. You pay $40 and they know most will never meet the requirements as they are either too hard or boring. Then if someone does, it's a gift certificate bait and switch at best, a scam at worst. No PS4 Pros EVER!

I am pretty sure I've been scammed completely, because I can't login. Where are the offers at? I don't see anything and has anyone gotten there money back by their bank? I am pretty sure that the banks can see that this is a scam.

Nicee
June 14, 2019

Decided to buy an Xbox One S from this site seeing the low price was and how it came with a warranty. Even if I had gotten a broken console I still could've salvaged or looked into the damage. Initially I was excited and read all the text on the screen to make sure it wasn't a scam. I bought it and a few days later realized you had to fill out a ridiculous amount of surveys to acquire the item which wasn't mentioned at all on the products screen, only in the Terms and Conditions fine print and AFTER you buy the product. I try to get a refund and call the number only for it to not even work, nice. So you get $40 legally stolen from you. Hope to prevent someone form going to this garbage website. This company is a scam and I hope it is shut down soon. Thanks Refurbished Electronics.

If you read the fine print it does say for example a ps4 is 300 points plus 39.95 fee which led me to understand probably surveys etc to accumulate points. Since it sounded to good to be true that's why I read those areas then searched reviews online. I dont know how long it would take to get 300 points but would be worth it if it worked. I did ask for details on that so if I get a response I'll share it

I was hoodwinked - enter ordering process has not even a single word to let you know you're only "buying" a "membership" vs. every step in the process looks like you're buying the actual merchandise - I found the hook in the details of the Terms of Service which you have to click on to finally see it stated that you're buying a fee; had expected that the unit I "bought" due to the ordering page saying delivery in 2 - 5 days, would have been delivered by 2 weeks - but never arrived - they don't answer phones or respond to emails - I am left with a credit card dispute process now and sending details to BBB in the states of CA and GA - DON'T BE SWINDLED BY THEM - DON'T BUY ANYTHING

I just saw this as refurbished and i thought it was pretty scracthed maybe or cosmetically messed up ps4 pros but i saw too late the reviews on my mistake and seen that they do not promote what they actually do and hide many of their real policys in discreet areas and messages within tons of information or with deception i asked now for a refund immediately before even 10 minutes occured so i have in all my right to receive my ps4 as i should or if its not as ebay handles it were you buy something and its immediately shipped after a hour most times and sent towards you then i want a refund immediately thanks in advance. Also when i press the add credibility it takes me to do a live imaging capture when i just wanna share screenshots wow thats horribly made.

False advertising and trickery sale, back-page fine print is not visible unless you already made the sale and look at the pages privacy policy and terms of service to the page which is not readily obvious during purchase. This is an illegal form of trickery. Plus to make it hard to even find their real sale they only bill you 36.99 and call their company ELECTRONICS to the bank, the only charge my rep could find for 39.99 was not them. The number they give bank if you call it wont be helpful either. Remember the website, and then click on member or that terms of service of other missed points during the purchase you will see you have to do surveys and like ten essays some three pages long just to hope you get the purchase. Instead of bother bank, I tried to do the surveys, and they kept saying that my answer were too quick not accepted. Then when asking me if I have kids it only gave choices of 1-4 and I have none. The whole thing is made to make you want to give up, and people with money who see it as chump change will not waste their time. It is a scam that tricks you in, and then tries to bore you out. I wonder if they get money for the work you do at about $5 to $10 a lead, as that is the going rate to lead to insurance agencies these days. Besides, an XBOX ONE S New will be on market for cheaper soon, a GAMESTOP bought mine for less than $60 dollars if that says anything. Don't do it, unless you really want to try all those essays and surveys that are sometimes half hour long surveys that wont work at the end anyway.

Absolute $#*!!
February 16, 2019

Wish you could give zero stars! What looks like you're willing to order something used and refurbished for a good deal, turns out is a (non disclosed) "membership" fee. Your paying them your hard earned $$ to do a $#*! ton of ridiculous surveys. By rediculous I mean 9,000 words & 3 pages long to earn 20 measly pts. You'll need 300+ to "redeem" anything. Which in the end they'll say they"ran out" of product. Even if the work is worth the great deal you supposedly get, its $#*! in the end. You have no idea if the product will actually ever arrive. A fraudulent company, with a fake front and real connection to take your $$.
*deepbreath*

Basically, it's a fraud site that will take your $$ and kick you in the crotch.

I was geting frustrated my self but was amble to earn my 300 points needed to complet my transaction. However when redemed they were out of PS4. I chose not to wait and received a 200 dollar Amazon gift card. I know have a nice ps4 from amazon.It was worth the time and efforts of completing surveys. All is good

SUPER SCAM
December 7, 2018

Don't even know how this $#*! got my info, though or would be cool, I smelled a scam... look into it and see all this. Called my bank and now I have to wait for the charge to clear THEN dispute it to get my money back! Unbelievable. Called the customer service line, it says press 1 for new customer or 2 for returning customers and then it HANGS UP ON YOU!

Immediately after my warranty ended, my phone just stopped working. Battery dies after 20 minutes. Screen flickers and images stick. One corner has a dark cloud like the screen is leaking.

Dissapointed
November 20, 2018

I had recently found this site when looking for cheap ps4 to buy for myself. I saw the price and couldn't believe how affordable it was. I already put in an order before i decided to do research on the site. I've seen multiple reviews stating their item never came in and that they were required to take surveys. I never got an email from the site to fill out any surveys. Just a receipt of my order and the number. I lost $38.99 and I doubt I'm ever going to get that ps4.

Thieves
January 31, 2018

This site is a bunch of Thieves. They take your money and have you take surveys or write essays... what are we in 8th grade. I wanted to get my son an Xbox thought this would be a great way to do it. Forget it! I tired to do the surveys but they never update them so once they are done they are done. They literally steal from people and good luck trying to get a refund,,,,,,, you're locked. Dumb site run by criminals and they should all be put in jail and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Totally fraudulent site. Cant know for sure requirement rubric until AFTER you purchase. Than it is all phantom work. No reviews available to meet dumb requirements presented after purchase, robot email response, no contact number or brick and mortar address- petty thieves that break kids dreams of getting a toy they cant normally afford only to waste parents money acting good faith. Pathetic.

I recommend flooding their server with questions and complaints. Make a stock letter and post to gamer sites your kids or you participate in.
