Default Re: I figured out the 4gb scam!

Que: Agreed there should be a 4gb filter on the eBay link here, if indeed there are no nano clones with true 4gb ram. The site is not advertising the players per se, but indirectly advertising them.

Davislander: Fully concur with everything you wrote of course, and I will add that my little habit of notifying winning bidders of 4gb nano clones does not stop the tide. But I suggested someone here write a 4GB Hacked Player guide for eBay (and make sure people will see it!), and I reiterate that suggestion! (I'm not experienced enough with the mp4 scene to do it myself).

The basic problem here is twofold:

1)As I see it, its not the frauds & scammers that are the real problem: it's the companies like eBay that support their scams, and are willing to do f&k scratch all when its pointed out that these people are selling illegitimate 4gb players, and some of the feedback comments reflect that. eBay could stop this in a heartbeat if they wanted to. I havent been made a victim of these scammers (yet...), but maybe for fun I will send eBay an email asking why they allow them to continue

2) People are unaware. The people I contacted to warn them of what they purchased certainly weren't aware of the scam. Knowledge is power, and the best power to use against the scammers. If there are NO Nano clones with 4GB, then its real easy to "out" the scammers at this point....
