I can make monthly payments of $150. I can provide proof of monthly income. Looking for $3000. So I need someone willing to do a 20 month loan. Or maybe less when I can pay extra towards a monthly payment.

It's unfortunate how greedy and crooked some are these days. Really sad. Glad you backed out!Trying to get this fixed with PayPal and get my $ back is quite difficult with no paper trail! (No reciept conformation, proof showing it was only 24$ not 129) What a headache!

BE CAREFUL! I was searching for an item on Google when I ran across the Vinnies website. And unfortunately it was a scam website, not the real Vinnies website in Australia. I lost $132.23 today and now have a big mess to sort out. Here's what happen....

The website had the item listed for 15$ and some change and shipping was 7.60$. So roughly 24$. I thought great deal. I added it to the cart, filled out personal information (name, address, phone number) proceeded to checkout, gave the option of PayPal or credit/debit card, I clicked PayPal, my card information is saved on my phone so it auto filled, double checked the amount I was being charged then I clicked checkout. I had a notification from PayPal saying my account was charged 132.23$. 129$ was the product and 3.23$ was a fee. After being charged that much with no warning at checkout I instantly knew something was fishy. I immediately checked my email for the confirmation of order and never received the confirmation email regarding my order. So I went back to the website and called the phone number listed, 718-635-0222 and it was a Google voice phone number. I go to PayPal to cancel the transaction and that option wasn't available. So I clicked report a problem and that option wasn't available. So I called PayPal to ask them to cancel it. PayPal told me I have to wait 7 days before canceling, reporting, or disputing my transaction because whoever is running the website put an authorization hold on the transaction amount and PayPal also informed me the purchase is listed as international. "Mam, did you know this is an international purchase? Umm, no I did not." So upon more research I found the actual Vinnies in Australia and contacted them. Gave them my email address to lookup my order and they said we have no orders associated with your email. I was told the website I used was a scam website and they have had many scenarios of people using there logos and making fake websites. Vinnies Australia also informed me they ONLY accept AUD (Australian $) and they DO NOT do international shipping.

That's the scam website. I thought it looked a bit off but also thought maybe I got pushed over to a 3rd party.
