    Default 1tb HDD £14!

    just stumbled across this:

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...fvi%3D1&_rdc=1

    whats your thought lads?

    previously only sold cheap gym equipment, I have a feeling its an account thats been hacked into maybe? (he is actively responding to questions though)

    Got some seriously cheap usb pen drives too.

    I am tempted to order something to see if it comes through

    Stock photo, crap English in the Q&A, looks like Nigerian shit.

    A: Friend how are you! The item is true, please believe paypal, you of the payment be a paypal.Please trust to purchase.Thanks!
    If you want to try it then buy, just don't pay for a couple of days.

    EDIT:NM, requires immediate payment, steer clear.

    Looks too good to be true - hes sold loads already today - Im tempted myself too though - if its a rip off then Im covered by Paypal hopefully and £15 wont break the bank.

    wasnt really suspicous about the crap english, have dealt with many traders from the far east and the english is usually poor.

    I think you'll find that paypal will keep the £15 as an excess.

    It's the over friendliness that makes me think Nigerian, doesn't look like Engrish to me, just a hunch, don't suppose it matters though, it's a con.

    my thoughts exactly, but cant understand how it would work, considering paypal can just freeze the funds and we can easily get our money back.

    unlikely to be fake as its still way too cheap even for that

    this may explain it lol:

    You will get your money back if you go straight to a dispute. But will take over 30 days to get it. had this issue buying mp4 gizmos that didnt materialize. Simply report the scammer, saves time and will help others out there. I will not now buy from CUNTS from HK as well as NIGERIA on ebay


    Check out this CNUTS feedback LOL. If you buy from him beware

    if it looks too good to be true... it usually is I know we all would like a tb drive for £15-£20 but its not likely, fingers crossed for anyone who bought one though i'd be happy to be wrong on this

    "Friend how are you! The item is true, please believe paypal, you of the payment be a paypal.Please trust to purchase.Thanks!"

    Anyone trying to convince you it's true that many times in one short line has to be talking shite.

    Don't give him the money. Paypal will end up out of pocket and it just perpetuates stuff like this...
