Title: BFL eBay Scam Post by: wonko on May 21, 2013, 11:13:05 PM Heya, almost positive that this is a scam: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200926462821
He claims that he has a BFL on hand. I messaged the user about the pictures and he told me that he took these two pictures himself (the second he claims he took this morning). Yet these pictures were taken long ago (used google image search): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=60586.msg857784#msg857784 http://www.ewal.net Maybe if enough people report it we can have it shut down before someone loses their money Title: Re: BFL eBay Scam Post by: billotronic on May 22, 2013, 12:14:56 AM Funny thing about this... a few months ago there was a string of pre-order scams (or not) floating around ebay and if memory serves, I'm pretty sure they all shipped out Irving TX (which I thought was strange at the time).

oh the irony of it lol Title: Re: BFL eBay Scam Post by: OpenYourEyes on May 22, 2013, 09:28:06 AM Quote This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available. I think he's just realised he doesn't actually have one. Lol. Looks like he was selling 10 preorders too: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ButterflyLabs-BitFo..

On the other hand the 1st of May idiots (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=192905.msg1999173#msg1999173) insist and are certain that the BFL delivers bet should have been resolved as a yes. Decentralization ftw! ;D |
