    guys, seen a guy selling ps5 for facevalue over fb marketplace and sent me this receipt. looks abit suspicious to me what do yas think?

    also, seems to be a new profile with not much info on it either.

    What does the 2 @ €215 for the console mean? I don't understand where the figures on the receipt are coming from.

    he told me its two pieces, console and controller, but its the disc version so dunno how he got it for 430, unless bought in UK.

    "That would be ideal mate I just can’t meet new people for a few weeks I’ve small health issues witch I won’t get into now" Seems suss to me.

    Price of the headset and controller are much lower though.

    Maybe bought in another country where the PS5 is that price (different currency maybe?).

    This sounds like absolute nonsense from the seller. Wouldn’t go near this deal with a barge pole.

    I was talking to the same guy and he says its gone now, so hope it works out for whichever one of you took the risk

    I tried to snooker him with PayPal (so there's insurance), and he said he could use his son's PayPal after initially saying he didn't have one. Then when asked to ensure it's a business account (for insurance purposes), he just did a FB thumbs-up.

    I reckon it's a fake receipt so I a Google reverse image lookup on it, as a lot of these scammers use the same photos etc., and came up with this.

    Edit: And now he's saying it's still available...lol

    oh. so he said he will accept PayPal?

    edit, wants it sent as friends and family lol my god, some people are fools. me included.

    Don't beat yourself up, I work in IT and just took the necessary steps to ensure it was a legitimate sale. Hopefully no one here attempts to "buy" it from him.
    I even had one lad try to get me to send the money by Revolut (no insurance), and then got so desperate, offered to accept half up-front and the other-half on delivery (via mail). Lol!

    well,least i learned about that reverse image you used so will know in future ha!

    this daily routine of checking everywhere has my head melted, I'm also pretty sure a guy that was commenting in this thread last few days was selling one for double price on done deal!!!

    Meet up with him and batter the bejaysus outta him.


  • Registered Users Posts: 580 ✭✭✭puzl


    I think the problem there is the meetup will be a no show after the 500 is dropped on paypal or whatever.

    Meetup would suggest paying in person of course.

    So I got it guys, really excited to fire it up but more excited about going to bed at a decent time instead of staying up refreshing multiple pages ha.

    I'll still keep an eye out for everyone and post if it's worth it. Happy hunting and I'm sure in a couple of weeks everyone will be happy.
