Hey guys,
So I was contacted via Ebay (not sure how he got my e-mail even) from a representative from this website.
http://www.itmediatech.com
Looks incredibly suspicsious. Anyways, the rep., sent me a price list and an offer to help him resell these "brand new, sealed" items here in the states. Most of the prices listed were 1/2 to 2/3s what it would cost to buy around here. Some were actually on par though. Either way theres a minimum order. Very suspiscious. Just wanted to see if anyone could provide me with more information. =)
UPDATE:
HERES A VERY FUNNY CORESPONDENCE OF THE RESPONSES.
If anyone knows where to report this guy; please do.
Hi,
We can use a type of payment such as WesternUnion.We
used it before and it's fast and reliable.About our
secure policy.When transfering the money via WU,you
can use a friend or reliave's name as reciever instead
of mine.We only need the transfer details to verify
the validity of the transfer.Once the shipment is
recieved by you,you change the reciever's name in my
name in order for us to retrieve the amount.The
address will be our address but the reciever's name,as
i said,another name.The address will remain our
address,because if you attend on changing the name and
address,WU will ask you to make another transfer.We
use this kind of transfer with several customers and
we didn't had any problems so far.
Regards,
Doris
