      Are there really people so utterly lacking in common sense to think things like this deal are legit?

      Sometimes people make bad decisions because they don't know enough about the relevant subject to know how much they don't know. But why does someone who knows that a legit product would cost 20 times as much waste their own time and annoy us asking whether we think its legit.

      FOR DOG'S SAKE, OF COURSE ITS NOT.

        Its not common sense that is lacking. It is critical thinking, they have stopped teaching this in schools.

      Beware of the $42.00 ones, they tend to catch fire.

          eBay's money guarantee is pretty good, if it aint 2TB, money will be safe….

      The seller has at least a few feedback related to fake storage capacities.

      IMO, a case of PEBKAC with users expecting to be able to read their files again. You should go for it.

      The problem with cheap USB devices is they sometimes just don't work. I won a 64G drive back when they were $100, and it was so frustrating trying to get it to work. An unreliable flash drive is worth less than nothing.
      You'd be better off to recieve a 2G drive than a $24.48 2T drive.

    • Just in case someone actually considered buying that instead of reporting to ebay:

    • It’s overpriced. Buy the same on AliExpress for one tenth that price, and then get the joy of savaging the seller with an unkindly review replete with funny memes

  • Following site came up via a Google Shopping suggestion for a product i was looking for.

    https://nexoriau.myshopify.com

    No other search results besides the above website for "nexoriau". Pretty low prices. Domain doesn't exist.

    Seems fake so be careful.

    • Come on, it’s blatantly obvious?

      • Are you asking if it's blatantly obvious?

  • Found this thread:

    Interested to see opinions on ozdesks.com.au

    Their desks and accessories just seem too good to be true in terms of pricing. I don't like that they don't offer PayPal as a payment option. They go offer Apple Pay and Google Pay, though, I am unsure on how refunds would work on those options as I have never tried (I assume it's just going through your bank).

    Cheers.

    • Depends if you want to purchase from this guy

  • Wanted to check this shop is a scam or not:

    alesismusic.myshopify.com

    They seem to have a legit address below:

    [email protected]
    Mon – Fri: 8:30 AM – 11:30 PM
    Sat – Sun: 9:30 AM – 10:30 PM
    Mailing Address: 34 Cleveland St, Stones Corner QLD 4120
    Phone Number : +61 7 3397 8962

    But those trading hours (open till 11:30 PM)… and also the phone number is disconnected

    • The alesismusic.shop domain is not registered and the mailing address is shared by a few shops.

      So avoid "Alesis music australia" it is almost certainly a scam

      I think it could be legit, and looks like a paid version of iwantthatflight or beatthatflight.
      They have had a cheap flight website going since 2021 with premium options opening in 2023/2024?
      However not showing any contact details or company information is always a red flag if something goes wrong and you need assistance…
      And their tax returns are overdue: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/c…
      Whether you get your moneys worth is another issue, as they are only using publicly available information anyway as per their FAQs:

      "How do you find such cheap flights? My team and I spend hours searching for cheap flights on websites such as google flights, momondo and kayak travel agents everyday. We continuously monitor flights to destinations all over the world, watching for massive price drops or mistake fares. Whenever we find an amazing deal we send them out to our loyal subscribers."

      So it doesn't appear to be anything you cannot find yourself - it is just put together for you in a weekly email.
