Angry Dunno what to think about this....

The seller is obviously misleading with the product title but the text is pretty clear. Some poor fool is about to fork out a fortune for naff all. Then again he should have read the description.

What a world

I've seen a few like that, sounds like a right ripoff! Why would you bid 510quid to spend 20?

Should teach people to read properly.

Doubt the person will fork out once they realised what they have bought - unless they are really stupid!

High bidder has zero feedback, maybe it's someone stitching up the seller.

But i doubt it

These pyramid scams are supposed to be illegal, but there still seem to be plenty of websites doing it...

hmmmm... i know what ur saying but i'm not sure it's right..

[holier than thou suit on]Unless you think a provocative girl deserves to get assaulted, or a guy being too slow to put a cashpoint withdrawal away deserves to get mugged? I don't think you do.

Criminals commit crime, not victims.[/holier than thou suit off]

I know, in theory what I said was wrong and a decent law abiding citizen like myself would disagree with my comment but some people are just to thick for todays society....

I've sent the highest bidder a message. I don't believe that if you're that stupid you deserve to be ripped off. Fair enough, it does state in the description the bid is for an email, but people with lower than average IQs do exist in this world and I don't think they deserve to be taken advantage of at every opportunity.

This is blatant deception. We might have the intelligence to see it for what it is but others less fortunate don't.
