The internet is big, very big. In fact so big It’s quite easy to get lost. Well when I say lost I really mean ‘some twat will piss away large sums of money on a supposed bargain when in fact they are being shafted’.
There are many scams about. We all know the main ones phishing emails and dodgy deals on auction sites. Lately the scammers have tried a new tactic.
The new scams are websites selling current luxury electronic goods at what seems to almost half price. Many people are used to the Hong Kong sellers with ex Vat and Duty prices, but these new breed are a piss take. Take this…..
Now, I know the retail price of the Eos 5D. It’s around £1500 currently, give or take a ton. Now a little research by the unbright brigade would flag this up as a scam. Either that or a it’s nicked. Personally I avoid both. But like a moth to a lightbulb the twats are drawn in.
But…..it’s on the internet…..surely it’s real. The simple motto is: If it is too good to be true, it usually is.
So what’s the title about. Really it sums some people up. For most the internet is a useful resource and tool. For the gullible it really is a dangerous place. For those people, they really should apply for a licence to use the internet. O.k. it wont happen, but I wish people would learn what they are getting into.
