Scamsters are now coming up with innovative ideas to earn a quickie buck riding on the Xbox 360 hysteria.
ebay xbox 360
A dude sold an Xbox 360 Premium Edition 'box' for $172.50! Chances are that the bloke who bought it is the village idiot who failed to see the print blinded by the Xbox 360 glaze. It said;
You are bidding on the box to a premium Microsoft Xbox 360, this would be the perfect item to set in your store window to attract customers and let them know you are selling the 360. This is not a Xbox 360 gaming system, it is merely the box. Only serious bids only please, and don't be stupid and bid on this to an insane price so I get in trouble by eBay. Happy Bidding!
Another scamster bought a 'link' to Xbox 360 for a whopping $405. Well the guy who sold the link is apparently a college dropout (going by his English that has left me quite confused still as to what he intended to sell really). He mentioned -
You bid to a link to buy the microsoft xbox 360. It not a xbox 360 is a link to buy this, be caution. But it good link to buy them, its very rare to have it.
Nonetheless, he has brains better than that of people like the dud who bought whatever he was selling in the name of Xbox 360.
