I'm sorry about this in advance, I just need to vent my frustration, maybe someone here has had a similar experience or a good laugh at my stupidity: So I finally decided that I needed to pick up a PS4 console, ready for the end of college. I decided to look on Craigslist to see if I could find a good deal for a standalone console (... oh goodie). Dammit I feel so stupid, there were so many warning signs fixed to the listing I decided to contact. To be fair, Craiglist has a whole list of rules to follow when identifying scams ... yep!
1. There were five, I repeat, FIVE listings using the exact same photo
2. The listing mentions 5 games, but only a sealed copy of Fifa 16 can be seen in the photo
3. A second controller can be seen in the photo, but was NEVER mentioned, those things ain't cheap
4. The 'dumbass' wanted me to do a bank transfer because 5% would be deducted from a PayPal payment. This is incorrect since the cut only applies when dealing with different currencies.
5. I asked about the other 4 games, one of them was 'UFC 2016' (This isn't a game)
6. I assumed the other games had been downloaded rather than asking to see an image
So I have officially been scammed out of £110, I could of given that to save the penguins or something, but no... I was completely blind to EVERY SINGLE SIGN in front of my bloody face.
FF Type-0, Tomb Raider, Senran Kagura, DOA5, Overwatch, Gravity Rush... you're gonna have to wait a little while longer
