Title: Need someone in Mexico to purchase something for me
Post by: grue on June 18, 2012, 12:52:10 AM
Need someone in Mexico to purchase something for me. You will need a valid Mexican credit card. I will pay you in either mtgox USD or BTC. It's something from an online store. I need someone from mexico because they enforce regional pricing through credit card address checks.

I'm curious. 

Assuming this isn't a lame attempt at scamming someone on this forum from Mexico, which to me seems like a silly thing to attempt here, what product could be bought by a Mexican national with a Mexican credit card that couldn't just as easily be ordered by an American using an American credit card?  Now, I understand that this is a bitcoin forum and most people want to help spur the economy, but if you are paying someone in Mexico to use a credit card then, logically speaking, you will be paying for a credit fee anyway; so why not skip the trouble and additional risks and just buy it yourself with your own credit card (or a prepaid Visa from Wal-mart, if your credit already sucks)?  What is this item?

I can get a four dollar Coke Classic in a 16 ounce glass bottle, made with real sugar, from the Mexican grocery store five blocks from my house.  The real question then becomes, can you get them to me cheaper?

reason is simple, items on http://store.origin.com/ are cheaper in mexico (region pricing ftw). They obviously can't just let anyone to get the discounted price, so they verify that the billing information is mexican, hence why I need someone in mexico.

pm me if you like. I'm not from mexico, but I have a Debit Card for my mexican bank account(dont ask me why I have an account in mexico, I guess you know why).

The card is registered to a PO box in Tijuana, so in theory it should work.

the most important thing, you did not explain how much you pay for what you need and how much is worth order/product.
I saw somehwere someone offer forwarding packages from mexico, so, I can try to find it for you if it is worth.
