Is it at a daft price again, Mark? You might not like the treble on it if it was going!!

Last time it was Amazon with the daft pricing but this one is listed by Scammers Direct (a subsidiary of Hackers Direct). They have just started, have no feedback and want buyers to e-mail re. availability so can't imagine what could go wrong It's been a slow day so just having a bit of fun and to see exactly how they pull this off....and how long I can keep things going before they realise there is no sale on the cards. Ideally I'd like to see a pic of the scammer to holding up a sheet of paper with 'I heart DIYAH' written on it. Just as a gesture of good faith and to prove they aren't a scammer No real desire for a K812 as I do think the treble would be problematic for me. But if Amazon list another that cheap again I might take a punt just to hear it. Would no doubt be able to sell it on for at least what I paid. Edit: change my mind. New seller offering the TH-900 cheap again so going for them instead!

All these bargains.
I often take a look for things on EBay and they sell very often higher than the retail price. Must be real!!

I am disappointed. I haven't had a reply yet. They seem in no hurry to take my money... I was hoping I could arrange some kind of group by for other members at a discounted price. I'm giving them until the morning then I will vote with your wallets

Just lay the phone down & have a cup of tea. They don't come back. Trust me, I spent 4 hours attempting to do this for a living in Toronto and a "dead" response is struck off the list. No argument with silence.

Ah but the fun is in the chase. Since we had a discussion about flying pigs, mine stopped. They obviously don't !like winged pork.

We have a live one:
Right back at them:
Mmmm...I sense the sting coming.
Edit: also had an e-mail back from Layla. The message is a bit different and they offer a flimsy explanation for the low price but the gist is the same. Send us your details and we'll pass them to Amazon for invoicing.

Just been in contact with the real owner of this account via ebay. Seems the hackers have complete control of his account and have changed the password so he is locked out. Presumably the only thing stopping the scammer accepting orders through Amazon, marking them 'shipped' and clearing the funds is that there is some kind of bank account verification needed before you can do so. Hence the workaround using e-mails. Despite Amazon being aware this seller has 170 pages worth of high value items currently listed. Just waiting for new homes. But I am sure Amazon's fraud department are giving it their undivided attention!
