A 1TB HDD for $4 !???? What was that guy expecting? That is like saying: "please, con me".

 

Reminds me I can't wait to get home and look at my SM58 that was delivered. I got 2 off ebay and they were counterfeit. So well done that even the guy selling them to me legitimately didn't know they were fake.

This time I paid more and got it from Amazon, so I hope its a real one.

Some china knockoffs are quite nice, performing nearly as good as the original at a fraction of the cost. This is the way I wish it would work where they offer up a cheaper alternative to the real thing and let budget minded people make there own call on what to buy.

Counterfeit stuff just !expletive! me off.

But common 1TB for $4.00 did this guy just discover the internet or something?

 

What?!?
People lie on the internet? xD

 

No

BTW I just recently discovered your related to a royal family in Africa and that your entitled to a large sum of money and real estate, however in order to process these possessions to your name we need you to send us your bank account number and social security number.

P.S. We have butter.

 

1TB for $4. Pfft, please

However, as Vicious stated, some counterfeits are very nice and function well compared to the original. It can even be fun shopping for them, such as in NYC. My goal this summer is to find a nice CF watch to buy haha

 

Here is the info requested.
(random bunch of numbers) and (more random bunch of numbers).

How soon until the butter can be shipped?

 

I've seen some things from China that worked better than the original, very rare, but it has happened. I guess sometimes it just has to be designed twice to work correctly. And I've had alot of things that are much cheaper and function very closely to the original. I'm all for ordering those cheap items.

 

Well considering the originals were most likely made in China it's no mystery they reverse engineered to make a knock off Besides, China can make gold like they can make crap; they make just about anything period lol

For 4$ though...yeah

 

Haha, reminds me of the time I naively bought a 64 GB USB drive on the street for about $7. When you plugged it in, it even fooled Windows into thinking it was a 64 GB drive - you could even transfer data to the drive (though it was really wonky). I don't know how they did that, some virtual drive emulation or something. Naturally, the data didn't stick around after you unplugged it...

reminds me of the same thing fat dragon is talking about i think it was on craigs list and there was a bust in houston over it

 

Speaking of WoW phishing, I have seen some really hard to tell e-mails.

It was urls that looked offical, email address that looked official, and good grammar.

If it made me look twice and I am a very internet savvy person I can only imagine the number of people that did fall for it.

What bothered me the most is how they got my email when I had not even played the game in years.
