Couldn't find anything on Reseller Ratings, but I did find something saying that they only take MoneyGram from non-Canadian customers. Then again, I did find it on Yahoo! Answers.

Where did you find it? If you put the words "cheap" and "game systems" into a search engine and it's the first one you never heard of then I would say stay away. Usually you'll get links to best buy, circuit city, amazon, wal-mart, maybe a few reputable online stores then just some store out of nowhere on that list. That's when I stop palying attention to the results from the search.

My sister in-law found it & wanted to buy a PS3 from there for $250. They only except moneygrams & told her to forget it. I don`t trust moneygrams & usually if you find deals this good, there probably false.

You pretty much recited the #1 rule in online commerce.

Well I decided to do a little research and called the number provided on the website. First you are greeted with a charming woman's voices saying "Thank you for calling Game Consoles inc", then suddenly an awkward accent kicks in saying that all of the operators are busy and to hold, then it goes to a prompt saying the voice mail is full.

My take? I remember back in 98/99 me and a few online friends found this free voice mail service, they offered you about 30minutes to an hour of overall usage time a month, unless you subscribed to their service. Our work around was to just make a new one each time the others time ran out, which would leave us with a bunch of numbers and using the past ones if we still had the number somewhere and remembered the pass codes.

So to me they sprung up a "too good to be true" website, knowing that a few people would be stupid enough to go for it and set up a free/cheap voice mail service with a misleading message, leaving the caller with a brief sign of relief, until they're thrown to the "voice mail is full" prompt. Your sister is very lucky to have came to you first, otherwise she'd have lost money and been just another poor fool that fell for a scam.
