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.

"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:

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.

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.

If you bought all that locally, you'd be iBroke. Maybe even iBankrupt. And in all honesty, when it comes to Apple products, iDontseethepoint.
 
I was duped by them or one similar. Looked at the posts n the name renee stands out. Have proformer invoices as well as delivery tracking numbers. But they have excuses as to why delivery is not made. Adverts are on popular advertising sites.

Heres the website www.deal4u.co.za
