Wow....this is definitely scamilicious:

Since the Western Union activity in Russia is under regualtion of local law it is strongly prohibited for each Western Union location (agent) to withdraw money to receiver if receiver do not know Security Answer for your Security Question. It is virtually unimpossible to receive money without this Security Answer

wouldn't unimpossible==very much possible?

Yup. though i don't think that was intentional, these people probably just can't write.

You guys!!!! This company is completly legit! I've bought thousands of laptops from them and have resold them for a huge profit (its lucky no one else has thought of this or we would all be millionaires). The bad inglish on their site is because they do not have enough time to spellcheck because they're to busy getting these great deals! For every gross of laptops you buy they send a Russian bride along for free. A little thank you that you can do anything with ;);). Now I'm a little sad that this great deal has gotten out and I'll lose my bizzsnatch edge. Oh well porsches for everyone!!

this is a russian company though. have to buy 10 laptops for $5000. check out the config.

this seems TOO good to be true. again, i'll emphasize TOO good to be true, but if any of you have had an experience, please do share.

How about this? You front the money. If it comes throug, I pay you $600 for mine.

Well, they have listed a Titanium Powerbook at 1.5 GHz, which in real life land, does not exist in any shape or form.
