Well , my friend stumbeld across a website which sells psp's at cheap offers, but they are bulk, now i talked to the owner of the company and he has said he can send me a sample but 1st i need to send him 30% of the whole psp amout, he will send the psp then i send 70% when i receive cash, the owner has shown me his website etc, i looked on other sites and the actual company has like a building which is registerd etc. Anyways they offer this :

White PSP - Sealed - Version 1.5 (Value Pack)

+

2 Random Games original

+

1 DVD for psp

+

Memmory stick duo (either 1gb or 2gb)

For 90quid. The woman wants payment via western union she lives in China. I asked her for paypal and she said she does not an account.

Seeing as it's in China, and they're cheaper over there (seeing as PSPs have been out for ages), I'm guessing it's legit.

Sounds dodgie, but could be true.

 

[chippy]

so they want 30% of £90 (£27) sounds good but £27 is quite abit to just throw away lol

 

[Blaminator]

I've had trouble with Weston Union before, I sold a car over Ebay and the person who bought it tried to get drug money or something in the country through me.

They sent me a cheque for £5000 through Weston Union and wanted me to write them a check for £4300 and pass it to the guy who was collecting. Was a bit more to it than just that but you get the jist.

Deal didn't happen btw.

thats a common con if im thinking they did it to u.

they send check, you send them check for a lower amount, and their check bounces. leaving with them £5000 up. iv heard it happen before many times.

.. no.. you'd send your butler to go get a PSP from the store, so its got no chance of being a fraud

The word from Miao Lei is that its a con. Miao Lei is a chinese goldfarming company manager and she says this is a new con thats taking place in taiwan and china.

What they do is send a broken PSP (also doing some others consoles) from the factory where they work, for a part payment that covers the postage cost, and makes a bit of profit. Then your choice is to either pay a fortune to send it back and get another, as well as paying them more postage costs, OR in the case of bulk orders they then ship out a box full of **** all with a tracking number.

Nothing special to it, its just your all purpose chinese fraud.

nah i would go for it HunteR.....

havent you already got a psp anyway?

 

[CraiG^]

tis a scam, i nearly got conned through western union once

 

[HunterR]

Its a scam, i made a new msn and i talked 2 her and this time she never mentioned 1.5 psp's or any of the free stuff u get with psp and if u want to get a value pack u need to buy minimum of 4 psps. i told her 2 do on ebay and she said no cos she scared because they were (cant rember word but its when u get items cheap from another country and u dont pay taxes for it etc). At start she said she actually manufactures the psp's and accesories...

oh and she sent me a doc with psp prices they were -

1xpsp = 125 USD
Sample version - 4xpsp + 2games (games are free she said) = 700usd, i then asked her why she charging me 200extra she said cos its sample. Then she was saying omg dont u trust me why would i con you out of short change not in this words but was getting to this, like why would i get my comp a bad name LOL....
