That is a really good price on that iPod. Is it used? Re-certified?

No feedback. I would be very suspicios.

They take and order, then call and ask if you want a battery in it for only $38.oo more, etc. etc. etc.

It jsut doens't seem right...

they are just too low to be trusted. Who knows? Visa will protect you, just give it a shot with a card you don't use so there won't be any confusion about activity or fees.

Exactly !!

elcidelectonics.com may have VISA & MC logos, but they do not accept any cards. Cash only, via Western Union.

Notice that address ??




That is where they will have you send the cash alright. But look where it is going:

Freeman Check Cashing Incorporated
94 8TH Ave
New York, NY 10011-5104
Phone: (212) 243-6158

Western Union Agent locations
PAY-O-MATIC #303
94 8TH AVE
NEW YORK, NY 10011
Tel: (212) 243-6158

When your cash arrives there, scammer will have it pre- arranged to be resent to him a few thousand miles away. Where it will end up on the desk of Daniel "Dino" Nitulescu, and become part of the weekly scam distrubtion:

»/r0/do ··· cu_B.jpg

It is an all profit no cost operation. Thanks to the search engines who accept fraudulent credit card use to pay for priority placement without any vetting. They aid and abbett cyber criminals by pointing victims to the fraudulent sites.
[Cost to cyber criminal = $0]

Thanks to web hosting and domain regristration companies who accept fraudulent sign ups and give instant hosting with no verification that it the actual card holder enrolling.
[Cost to cyber criminal = $0]

A special thanks goes out to the domain cloaking services:
»network-tools.com/defaul ··· nics.com who for an extra $50 non vetted charge to the fraudulent card, will make sure that it takes longer to identify and notify the carded victim.
[Cost to cyber criminal = $0]

In a month or two when the fraud amounts get charged back,t he site will be pulled. Then a quick name change, and rinse and repeat. But the scammers always have a running inventory of a dozen or so sites at any time, so it is just a normal recycling process.

Raking in a million dollars plus, year after year, from the comfort of your home, and far from the reach of any potential law enforcement action, keeps Dino and crew pretty happy:

Yes indeed, adds to the authenticity. Nothing like a scammer trying to keep other scammers at bay. !!

Once again the failure of paid search promotion to valdate, is now feeding a trail of potential victims right to the scammers. As predicted, it also confirms cash via Western Union as the only form of payment for the non existent merchandise, priced at way below market. That brings even more victims.:

I want to buy a camera from an american website as a Christmas pressie for my boyfriend. The camera here costs roughly £470 but from the states its $450 so I really want to go for it.

The website seems ok but they want me to pay only by western union transfer. Am I at all protected if this goes wrong? It seems odd they won't accept paypal or credit cards. What do you think..have a look at the site and please help. I don't want to loose my money to a bogus site right before Christmas.

Yep...nice !

Interestingly much of the traffic coming in on this originates from the UK.

Some inbound referrals are coming from these searches







The cyber criminals must have focused some resources at the UK search market because of the UK £ Sterling to US dollar rates. Oh yeah !! plus the "FREE shipping" magnet.

Re: Apple iPod Video 5th Generation 30GB Media Player - $116

iPod prices don't change much unless you are getting it from someone else personally...the refurbs are still at $180 for the 30GB model (why anyone wouldn't pay $70 extra to get 2 1/2 times the capacity and twice the battery life with the 80GB classic is beyond me)

The best deals you can get are ones from other owners on eBay or the refurbished section of the apple website...the 3 years I've had with iPods I've never seen a legit steal in terms of pricing for real iPods.

Dennis,

Come ON, tell us what is missing! Or at least a short summary of the post(s)!
Way too much 'deleted by moderator' to be anything but Scammer/Spammer mail, IMHO.
