Most Obvious Fraudulent Listing Ever

Have a look at item 6810199496 :rotfl:

It "skillfully" combines just aout all of the elements of a possible scam into one. It's a stolen account, the machine is described as "new" but hasn't been manufactured for four years, the seller is in China, the item is in Germany, and the auction text is indicates a US seller, he only takes Western Union or Moneygram and only posts to Ireland!

Mind you, if it IS genuine it's a good deal...... :rolleyes:
Can I help?

    well it says it has "been used in a coporate environment", in other words it's not new, and thus the listing is incorrect/ false.
    report report report!
    It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.

    Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.
