Has anyone purchased from this company, The Shoption. com, they appear to be fake but you can use PayPal to pay for items. I’m interested in Purchasing an item that other vendors are selling for close to $300. This company is selling it for $95

I shopped for the same item, share your fraud concerns but exercised a PayPal purchase. Since you have concerns, wait and I will provide followup to my order within a few days. FYI - the company address is a private home in a residential neighborhood.

The site does not respond to emails directly or from the PayPal site, does not respond to phone calls to their published number. It appears this site is setup to look like a retail provider of various products but the only pay option available is through PayPal which is linked directly to a person-to-person transfer of funds, not a payment for goods. Avoid this site.

Nice house in Nebraska with Santa [Removed] phone number (805) that just takes a message. Can a cell phone be set up that way? And, yeah, if those prices were real I could make a killing by reselling their stuff on ebay.

I reported this site to the PayPal fraud group months ago and suggested they take down the account. Apparently PayPal does not give a crap when they have a reported, clear cut fraud operation using their site.
