Well, things have been kind of quiet with the exception of the last post. I feel the need to add material to the site even if I'm repeating myself a little, because as long as I am posting the blog will hold it's place near Stressgoneforgood on internet searches which is important to get the word out and help prevent any more scams by these bastards!
All of the phone numbers, 866 and otherwise, for Stressgoneforgood and The Furniture People are inactive or disconnected which is a good sign. At least if people call they might get clued in that these businesses are not legit or sustained and will choose to not do business with them. I don't know many people that would "shop with confidence" like it says on their site, if they knew that the company couldn't manage (or want?) to keep a simple telephone number.
I have not seen anything else on e-bay in relation to the known "usernames" that were being used to promote scams there, but that doesn't mean anything since new ones might have been created.
PLEASE! If you are reading this site because you we scammed by Stressgoneforgood, write me a note in the comments section and I will contact you via email.

Latest News
We have two recent updates on "stressgoneforgood"
First, this site now ranks DIRECTLY below http://www.stressgoneforgood.com/ on Google! This means anyone checking out stressgoneforgood, Jodo publishing, or the other associated "businesses" and Ms. Odonnell will hopefully come here and decide AGAINST doing business with these scammers!
Also, I know it's under the comments, but it is important we get this information out there....
We have had a new story come in on yet another person being ripped off, apparently things have spread to e-bay now as well:

Jessica Odonnell took a LOT of my money too and NO product!! I bid on a group of her items on ebay, user ID junkcollector0526....I wasn't the winning bidder but she later contacted me and said that the items were available and offered them to me. After asking numerous questions and feeling comfortable with the situation I send her a cashiers check. I did speak to her twice on the phone as she called regarding the transaction. She was very pleasant and we continued to communicate via email. Shortly after she received my payment she emailed and said she had to make an emergency trip to Washington as her father was on life support and she would let me know when she was heading back home. Her story remained consistant and the last email I received from her was on 6/20/07. She said they were taking her dad off of life support and she would ask her friend Kate to mail the baskets and that she was getting a money order and would refund half of my money for all of the frustration. That was the VERY LAST that I heard from her. I called her home 6/28/07 and the # has been disconnected. Today I remembered that the Check Cashing place had called asking about the cashiers check...so I checked my caller ID and sure enough... there was the number. I called and explained the situation and they had the same address & phone # as I do...but they require a relative's info too...so the lady gave me what is suppose to be Jessica's moms address & phone #. I called a number of times today and the line was busy and then later there wasn't an answer....who knows if this is actually her mom or not. I have no idea what to do now... I would appreciate any input as I'm out a great deal of money.

Unbelieveable!!
GrammyV,
I would recommend that you also contact e-bay about this issue. Quite often scammers will run "last chance" offers or deals such as the one you fell victim to. THESE ARE NEVER SANCTIONED BY EBAY AND SHOULD BE REPORTED!! Alot of the time scammers like Ms. Odonnell take advantage of the fact that you believe this to be a legit e-bay offer and then they can make off with your money. It is possible that the check company might be able to help you track this down. Unfortunately, e-bay will not be able to help, but if you complain about the user they can block them from the site. I'm guessing that this user "junkcollector0526" is not even a actual registered e-bay user....also typical of these kinds of scams.
