Anyone that has purchased from me that is not happy with what you got PM me and I'll kindly return your btc.

[Hunterbunter]

You'd have more luck using your awesome method acquiring all said kindles then selling them for btc.

[RandyFolds]

I'll take a copy and post my review on it, free of charge. 

[Raoul Duke]

I'll take the other review copy


Thanks

[Blind]

And I'll just sit here waiting for the review =P

[SomeoneWeird]

Euphemism above is not correct English:

Social Engineering: Using human interaction (social skills) to obtain or compromise information about an organization or its computer systems.

Fraud: Wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.

This worked perfectly fine for me.  Getting my Kindle shipped to me as we speak.

-------------------

Erin:I'll get that started up for you.
A valid credit card is required for collateral since a replacement is being issued before returned items are received. Could I please have the last 4 digits of the card on this account that I could use for collateral? We may authorize up to $1 to verify the selected card is valid, however the card will not be charged as long as we receive that defective device within 30 days from today.
Me:Thank you.
Yeah one second please. I need to grab my wallet.

Erin:Perfect, thank you. What address would you like this shipped to?

[Miner612]

Seems like a scam, awaiting a response from someone with a free review before passing judgement.

It's not really a scam, as far as I know. From the looks of it, you'll get it for free initially, but you'll have to pay for it 30 days later. That being said, I'm too nice of a person to try it myself.

Reading between the lines, it is getting an advance RMA using someone else's serial number (likely gleaned from shelf surfing a retail store). When they don't receive back the old Kindle, your credit card will be charged.

[Miner612]

My friend did this too, with his account, his bank and everything, just like me, and they are sending him one too hahahah

This is also available on Silk Road for 0.01btc if you're that way inclined.

It's pretty bloody obvious that 'social engineering' is a (completely useless) euphemism for 'scamming'.

[JacobMarks]

So, amazon specifically SAY they're going to wait for you to send yours back and charge you if they don't get it, and then they don't?
Seems odd?

[DannyM]

So this is stealing?

[jake262144]

So this is stealing?

Yes, no matter how nicely OP dresses it in words.

Fraud: Wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.

Correct.

I wouldn't say it's completely useless.

Sorry, I didn't express myself clearly. I didn't mean to imply the act of social engineering is completely useless - for the 'social engineer' (aka 'hustler') it is clearly very useful. I meant that the use of the euphemism was completely pointless, as only a moron could, upon reading the words 'social engineering' and having an example described to them, fail to recognise what was really being described (namely deception).

ETA: btw apologies for the presumption, I haven't been at this forum long enough to get a feel for what's tolerated, but I can't help but feel that, with Bitcoin media coverage being all drugs this, kiddie porn that, and Silk Road the other, we really don't need to let scammers flourish. So I have reported this thread to the moderators. Hey, they might feel there's no harm in it, in which case so be it.
