VAIO notebook for ~$800 (question of legidity?)

Hey they are selling a Sony VAIO notebook for about $800 there. Supposedly it comes with a PIII-500 chip, which is a pretty hot deal to me. I'm not sure if they are legit though. Perhaps someone can give their insight on this particular site. I ordered a Geforce2 MX there that they were selling for $45, but we'll see if they're legit. I'll keep you guys updated. Oh and BTW, the guy's name on this paypal account is Kyle O'Hare at this e-mail addres: electronicsbarnsales@usa.net

When I enquired about the card, the VP of the company (?) e-mailed me, and that e-mail goes a little something like this:


Hello,

We still have this video card in stock. $55 w/shipping through www.paypal.com
/ user: electronicsbarnsales@usa.net. Please remember to include your full
shipping address when ordering.

Thanks,

Anthony Martini / VP
Electronics Barn Inc.

I think I just made a fool of myself... should have known better.

that look like a scam to me. If you look at the URL you can see that cjb.net is a free web hosting company. That's why you get pop-ups when you visit the site. Don't do it man. Someone better report this to PAYPAL. It look like another PAYPAL scam where they're trying to collect paypal info.

remember discountpcbarn.com?
they are still hitting my Discover account every week.
funny thing is, $16,000 later and they still haven't caught the guys
no charges to me because I changed my account number.
Stuff is being shipped to indonesia. the companies shipping the stuff aren't doing checks on the account so they ship the stuff out, then lose.
The FBI and Visa, Discover, American Express, Mastercard all know about them, that's why they went to paypal and changed their name.
don't do it

Whoa...now THAT's pretty uncool.

seems real scarey , takes you a paypal signup page. They can get your password so I wouldn't enter it there. (because it doesn't say x.com at the top URL). No company info page, are they on e-bay?
are they verified with paypal (provides some protection)..??

that's why it's a scam. Because that page is suppose to be encrypted and URL suppose to X.COM or PAYPAL.COM. You'll be fukked if you enter those infos.

hey bighammer, are you sure thats what they are doing? Shipping it to indonesia? Because i shipped mine to indonesia, and i am having problems with paypal now. Damn, i think i just lost all my money.

 

[Shifter25]

So anyone know if I can get my money back through paypal? Unfortunately, this guy in unverified. I was stupid enought to send him money before checking his status.
