<div class="IPBDescription">just want information</div> kk iv been looking for a laptop on ebay and i found some auctions from people selling 'information' about sites that sell latops for £20

<a href='http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3459063506&category=177' target='_blank'>clickey</a>

just wondering if anyone knows how viable these sites are or if they know any themselves because if its true it would really help me (first year computing student <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> )

    I dunno Rue something just smells about this, it reminds me of them dodgy auctions you see ans markets where people pay £20 for a TV then get a box with a brick inside <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    1) Rating can be faked
    2) Alot of people are to stupid to leave negative feed back


    Its a scam, if things like this ACTUALY existed, people wouldn't sell the info for $5


    ohhh, I have seen this guy before also <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Some same deal, just with PDAs (It tihnk it was, gimme a few sec)

    lol, click on the link to see his other "Items"

    Al lthe SAME form, all a 'new company' that sells freeware on CDs (something that is actualy illegal if I remember correctly). And all of the profits go to giving away ********** product for free.


    ITS A FRIKEN SCAM!

    Trust me on this one, ok? Or you could give him $26 and be on your way that much poorer <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    [edit]
    Same deal just with limited eddition silver PS2s;

    Plus you'd need an ever-increasing number of people to apply. It seems to be a fashionable scam at the moment - I read about something similar in <a href='http://www.ntk.net/#HARD_NEWS' target='_blank'>last week's NTK</a>.

    Best tip: "If it sounds too good to be true, it is".

    You pay them money, they say "nowhere!" or very loosely define "laptop," and it's still pretty legal. Not worth the gamble.
