SCAM ALERT: Iphone 32GB for $225 via forum PM

[Smlk]

I got it too, but you might think about following up with an official message just to make sure everyone gets the word. This just wreaked of spamming!

I also woke up to the same message today. I was also on the alert to the odd sounding message, that seemed rather desperate!
They must have got everyone's email.

What got me is that TIPB is better than that, if they got a few iphones 4's they arent gonna charge you for them, they would just give them away.

Exactly how was the system compromised?

Yep i received this same message at 6am today! thought i was in luck for a second til' i read all the way down......Western Union! really.......Hope nobody tried to buy this crap!

It wasn't. The bozo sent a PM to as many people as he could... many (most) of us have the default settings to receive an email when we get a PM. That's all it was. It was annoying and it was spam. Nothing more. Nothing less. Nothing compromised.

TY for the heads up.

+1 I too received this, thought it was odd, then deleted. I hope that no one fell for this. But if you did, let us know what happened

 

[jsntrenkler]

Yep I got it too. Saw the header and was certain it was a scam.

 

[TampaDude]

Heh...yeah, I got two of those PMs. Figured it was a scam. I already have an iPhone 4, anyway.

I only considered it for a second since my gf's was stolen, and wasn't sure if I wanted to go the insurance route and finally decided against because you can send paypal these days as long as it's not an eBay transaction and they don't charge your for it... so the western union was like... give me a break lol

 

[pizzafootbal]

Wow, lol, I thought it was legit, thanks for posting

 

[Cleveland]

Yeah I was glad my gut instincts took over, but now the question is raised since the dumb sh*t had to give his name for Western Union, the question is, is there any legal or lawful actions that would or could happen now lol

He had to give his name and city... not very smart

 

[ChrisGonzales90]

Like they say. If its too good to be true. It probably is.

Anyone who has has online shopping experience knows West Union is a no no for paying for something lol
