Is this real or a scam? Gadgetscmp

What if they have real stock with real prices and we all thought it was a scam and didn't buy anything. Because we are scared that 5k is too cheap for a console so it must be a scam, so we rather pay 7k for everything. Makes you think.

But then again no mention on guarantees, etc and could be illegal/stolen goods or exact replicas of the originals.

It is possible, but I don't think that they could have already stolen a xbox in south africa, maybe in another country, but not here because I have never seen a console here except at rage expo last year.

Have any of you guys called this "compony" and hear about the consoles?

So is takealot.com and they legit so internationally hosted doesn't automatically make them fake.

Nope. Takealot.com is locally hosted through Internet Solutions. Just because a site has a .com domain doesn't mean it's hosted internationally.

Yes, the .com just says its a corporations or whatever, kalahari.net is about the same as takealot but has a .net at the end. Doesn't matter nowadays.

It's already been confirmed as a scam. Here's the post from earlier in this thread.

May I share some words of wisdom?
"If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". Remember these words and the proverb "a fool and his money are soon parted" may never apply to you.

To quote a post in that thread from today:

Hi Guys, I'm the owner of a Company called Gadget Computers in Johannesburg, This company Gadgetcmp has taken it upon themselves to make use on my CK number to trade. We are currently busy with Cipro and the Police will be contacted. Please don't purchase anything from gadgetcmp or deal4u, these are two websites that they are using to sell or scam from. please forward any correspondence that you may have with gadgetcmp or deal4u to [email protected] so we can make our case stronger and get these guys closed down

So, yeah. Scam. Stay away.

The only thing that will happen when you buy a console from these guys is that you will sit waiting for a console that you're never going to get from them.

Yeah I would be very cautious of any site/shop selling supposedly brand new consoles for way under the normal selling price.

Agg I won't even get a picture of a xbox one, why be so cruel, thanks for the warning, I really hope that the price drops, and soon. Love this thread by the way.

We should have a thread like this for general (legit) scams people know about.

You can partly thank the Core Group for that. They're the main importers of Apple products in SA and they put ridiculous markups on Apple products.

I've fortunately not been burned by them yet, I bought my iPod in the UK and my iPad as well. The iMac was bought by my previous company so I'm clear of that. I do remember me saving a couple hundred on my 120Gb iPod buying it in the UK.
