    Why doesnt somebody mail him and ask him? Would be interesting to hear the sob story of how he didnt know..
    Or email somebody who was scammed and ask to see a pic of the nano.. whether it was clearly fake before opening it.... and what the seller offered when they complained?
    Be nice

    "Standard scammers" wouldn't bother resolving complaints. To me, at first glance, it looks as though he's un-knowingly bought a dodgy batch of unopened iPods. However, I could be wrong. Time will tell :)

    He's resolved ONE complaint out of all the complaints, just so some good hearted person picks it out and thinks he is genuine!!

    I think the way they usually work is by linking to other sites which pay a small commission for any business they get from that source.
