15 x New Sony Playstation 3 60GB 5 Ps3 Games (€300)

Hey,

I found this advert on Gumtree, has anyone dealt with this guy before. He says you can get a PS3 with 5 really good games and 2 controllers for €300. It just seems a little too good to be true.

he gave me his name and address and wants to be paid through money gram.

Any thoughts?

Has anyone been ripped off in simular circumstances?

If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is!

If he's using dodgy payment methods, run like the wind.

Moneygram is pretty much the same as western union - i.e. untraceable once he gets your money. Run away.
