What is the point of risking it, either way if you want a PS3 you will get one, its just a matter of when you will be able to walk into a shop and pick one up, i dont understand why you want to risk it, i was tempted and then reliased it was just stupid to do such a thing. If your in the UK like me and cant stop waiting, well i have only one thing to say "tough".

Anyway your money, but just some advice from me :)

Those two geeks are stupid. Xbox 360 fans! How many 360's broke on launch day. I was lucky to get one on the second shipment and within a week it broke (3 red lights) I recieved a replacement unit and within 2 months it did the same thing. PS3 looks just as good as Xbox 30 now and they haven't even begun to tap into the PS3's power.
Those two guys on the video are just idiots.

My wife tried to use a Bank Card today to order one from spanish-electro. They sent back an e-mail stating that the card was declined (which I can only think of one reason why after reading up on this scam) http://forums.dealmac.com/read.php?9,2624828,2636432
I think that they want you go wire money straight to them from your bank, no longer just western union. Attached was the e-mail we received.

You have opted to send the payment into our bank account.Here are the detailes of our bank account:

First name:Ovidiu Gabriel
Last name:Sturz
Bank name:IberCaja
Address:Av Constitution
City:Mejorada Del Campo,Madrid
Office:9731
Iban code:ES21 2085 9731 1603 3022 6080
Swift code:CAZRES2Z
Country:Spain

NOTE!
To the payment reason field please complete the order id:
yhst-57651467266513

The ammount you must to send is :640.00USD

After you will send the money please send us the scanned receipt from bank to payments@spanish-electro.com or to the fax no.: +1360-450-2215


Thank You,
SpanishElectro Team
Happy Shopping

After she entered the payment for the first time she called me to ask if she should give some bank account info to receive a $10.00 credit on her next purchase. Thankfully she contacted me before hand and I told her not to give them any info as far as that was concerned. I did give her my bank card number to respond to this e-mail as an option for payment. I will be contacting my bank in the am to let them know to decline any such transactions from taking place. If I find any further information on this company I will report back. Please spread this info, as there are a number of folks out there looking into purchasing from this company.

Hope this has helped

I also e mailed there company with some questions, and asked for a responce. This is what was sent and how they responded to it.

Looks like you have a great offer there on your PS3. I have yet to find anyone who has ordered through your web sight and received merchandise. I think that you have a bunch of people out there looking and wondering if you are for real, or if this is some sort of scam. Please provide me with some info I need before placing any order with you.
How are/were you able to secure the Play Station 3, when no major retailer in the USA has been able to receive any more shipments after the original launch date? Even the original shipments were drastically lower than what was expected. Why has your company not set up with a reputable payment processor i.e. Pay PAL? Help me to find a web site (not linked to your company) that can verify that your company is a legit business, and not out there phishing people.
Hope I can do business with you in the future.
If I don't receive a response on these issues I will go to the 4 forums I have found on your company and report as such. If your company is legit this should not even be an issue.
Thank you for your time

Steve

THERE RESPONCE

Hello,
we have provided 40PS3 from a supplier in Asia.Maybe in USA PayPal is ussualy used for payments but here in Europe we use bank transfers because there are many scammers and it is a real problem with them and we want to be sure of every deal we make.We heard about PayPal because other suggested us to pay through this service and we forwarded this metter to our board of directors we we will wait for their answer.We are relatively new in this business,about 3 months ago we lunched our website and untill this PS3 deal we didn't sold so much.It is up to you if you want to buy or not,we accept credit card ot bank account transfer.Thank You for your questions and sorry if we didn't convinced you that we are legit company.




Thank you

I would recommend that you go to the above forum I found and read all the comments. It would appear that all of these web sights are complete scams, they just keep changing there name.

Hi,

I signed up for these forums while coming across them doing a search.

I'm from NYC and have been reselling PS3's throughout the states and UK. I have contacts with wholesale companies. But, I'm not trying to sell myself, I'm hear to reiterate and I'm just giving you my background experience.

I've been coming all across these websites and would just like to GUARENTEE YOU they are scams. I've had experiences, friends have had experiences, etc. They want you to to bank wire transfer and western union because once it's done, it is DONE. Their is no safety their. You mine as well give them the pin number to your ATM card and let them take the money out. ONLY and I stress ONLY go through places using PayPal and take credit card.

If worse comes to worse, you call the credit card company and dispute the charge. If it gets even more serious, you just completely cancel the card.
